Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving this year was spent in Las Vegas with my family and we had a great time! My brother lives in town and my sister was able to bring her family down from Utah so we were all there. And my Grandma Basta got to come too! I love Thanksgiving time. It always means family time to me and I love having everyone together.

One of the kids' favorite things to do at my Mom and Dad's is to play in the backyard.



Sadly, Adam got pink eye on the day of Thanksgiving. That was a nightmare trying to keep him clean and away from everyone else! Eek!


These group of cousins have a great time together. They enjoy putting on mini plays or shows for us almost every time they get together. Here's the Thanksgiving version.



Because everyone was together, my mom requested an updated grandkid picture. We decided with this many kids that it would be easier to go to a park with a nice camera and do the pictures ourselves. I think they turned out great and the kids did a really good job. Big thanks to Kristin the photographer and her brother's camera. They are all such cute little blondies, you almost can't tell who belongs to which parents! We sure love these kids!

Phoenix Zoo Day

It's Veteran's Day and the kids have the day off. What am I going to do with all the monkeys? Go to the Zoo! Chris' work provided us with free Phoenix Zoo tickets that we hadn't used yet, so today was a great day to use them up. Katelyn even got to invite a friend to enjoy the day. Here's some of our favorite picture moments:
