Thanksgiving Fun

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend with family.  It was so nice to be out home for the Thanksgiving Day dinner at Grandma Ruth's.  The girls loved playing with all their cousins and enjoying yummy food and pie.

Its so fun to see my girls jumping on the same trampoline I grew up jumping on with my cousins.  I'm so grateful they get to have a relationship with their Great-Grandma Ruth.  She is definitely one of the world's best Grandma's and Great-Grandmas.

Bryn absolutely loves babies and adores her cousin "Baby Averie".  She was happy as can be holding her with Grandma LaJean 
Jaymi was a fan of the banana cream pie

Kaelyn is the best little traveler.  She usually stays awake but never complains, even on the long car rides.




Bryn fell asleep at the table eating her ice cream cone at Grandmas.  First time she has ever done anything like this, silly girl.

Our family was in charge of the Rasmussen Christmas Party this year.  It was Jaymi's first experience with anything Christmas like here in the U.S.  She was a little afraid of Santa at first but once she saw him passing out gifts she couldn't wait until her turn.  Bryn and Kaelyn weren't quite as excited though.





Grandma LaJean got her Grandkids Utah State tee shirts to celebrate her alma mater.  Kaelyn tried protesting letting them know she was a Ute fan

Grandma Ruth got all the great grandkids a gingerbread house to make at the party.  We had a great time making it.
Bryn had a great time eating the frosting and candy





We took the girls to their Frozen to see their first movie on the big screen.  We had a great time and they all did pretty well.  Thankfully grandma Amy joined us to keep track of all of them.
Jaymi got to go to a Utah Basketball game with Dad and her cousins.

Fall Family Pictures

We had some beautiful family pictures taken this Fall as part of a program to help educate about families and children with special needs.  We are so excited to be a part of this program and as soon as the website launches I will direct you there.  We just can't believe how amazing the pictures turned out.  Especially of our little Kaelyn.  She is a hard one to photograph, but wow, these turned out well.  The photographer/program head is Season Atwater.  We will be sure to have her do our pictures from here on out, she is so sweet and understanding as she has a daughter with special needs.
