Festival of Trees...

This year was our first year going to the FOT. It was AMAZING! There was SO much to see! It's pretty amazing what you can put on a Christmas tree these days! Here is just a SAMPLING...See for yourself...
Not only do they have trees, but they have wreaths, crafts, food and GINGERBREAD HOUSES!
I love this picture!

Once there was a Snowman...

The neighbor kids joined us for a Frosty building party....complete with 2 sparkling blue eyes and a carrot nose! Of course there was hot chocolate afterwards! (Eli decided to sneek a sip or two from Estin's glass)

Thanksgiving in Arizona...

The boys are loaded and we are packed and ready to see Grandma and Grandpa Meier, GG, Aunt Staci, Grandpa Hover and Grandma Frazier!!! We saw a LOT of trains along the way. Of course Estin and Eli LOVED it!
The beautiful countryside of the White Mountains... Cheeto faces...whatever keeps them happy! We got a chance to watch Harry Potter... grateful for Grandma babysitter!
Estin kept busy at Grandma's with fun projects. Wearing GG's mumu he painted a train magnet..
He made his own apple pie...
So proud!
I also made an apple pie. Justin says it's not Thanksgiving without apple pie!
My favorite cousin, Amber. The host of Thanksgiving dinner.
Just chillin' with the cousins...
I love these girls! Bobbie, Cherai, Ginger, Krissy, Amber, (me) and my sister, Staci.
Playing games at my cousin Gingers... Eli LOVES it at Grandma and Grandpa's!!! He loves finding places to hide!
Estin LOVES it too!!
Justin and I got to do Inititory in the Snowflake Temple (We left early because of the storm and forgot our Temple clothes... AGAIN!!!)
It was beautiful!
Afterwards, we met my dad for dinner at Pizza Hut.
I had given my dad a hard time about forgetting my birthday, so he surprised me with a piece of cake he had the waiter hide in a take-out box. He pulled a candle from his pocket and got the whole restaurant to sing "Happy Birthday" to me! He really is thoughtful!
My sweet Grandma or GG as the boys call her...
Grandma Frazier with the boys...
I love this picture!
My dad, My grandma and the fam...
My sweet boys...
We put a lot of puzzles together...
Justin put up the outside lights
I LOVE and ADORE my Grandma Nelson! It was hard to say goodbye...
On the ride home, the boys entertained themselves with peek-a-boo...
