SOO behind....Finally here is Thanksgiving

Man how life has seemed to get away from me. I have had good intentions to get on here and get my blog updated, and as you can see I am behind. WAY behind.
A quick few updates and then hopefully I can use 2012 and do better on staying on top of things.
First, our Thanksgiving. We were lucky enough this year for Thanksgiving to go to my sister Val's. We tired the year previous,but we ended up with a big snow storm that kept us home. This year the weather was nice and things panned out and off we went to Las Vegas!
We were able to have about a week down there which was very much needed and enjoyed! We spend some days going around in Vegas visiting things. One day we went to a couple different museums and saw stuff we never got to see before. We saw some really neat things and had fun seeing the kids enjoy themselves and haul their Aunt Val everywhere! :-)
On Thanksgiving morning we got a suprise and had Bryan show up at Val's house! My mom had no idea and either did the kids. He drove up and was able to spend Thanksgiving there and then the next day as well. What a fun time it was. We haven't been able to all get together since my uncle's funeral in March of 2010! It was so nice to sit and enjoy a delicious dinner as a family and laugh about life.
When it was time to leave I had a hard time as did my kids. They hated leaving Aunt Val's (as they are here side kicks when they are around) and it in turn made me sad we had to leave. I enjoy having an older sister and now that we have both grown up I really enjoy the times we get together!
Here are some pictures of our journey down there. Enjoy but beware I had a bunch of pictures!!...it was SO fun and I hope that we can do the Thanksgiving trip again as a family!
