Our Thanksgiving Weekend

Our Turkey Day was a good day and a good weekend. Our first stop of the day was IHOP for some delicious breakfast! Brookie could entertain herself all day putting the syrup bottles in and out of that little basket.


Next we went and saw the Pont family. We didn't stay for very long because we were headed up to the cabin, but Lane and Brookie had a plate of food, I however did not, I was saving myself for my mom's good cooking! But we did stop to say hi and so they could see Brooklyn.

Then we headed up to our cabin, which is in Timberlakes, just out of Heber. I totally stuffed my face with Thanksgiving dinner. I have been so looking forward to it for weeks now, the turkey, the mashed potates and rolls, chessy vegetables and of course pumpkin pie. I swear I gained 10 lbs from all the food I ate. Seriously in one sitting I had 3 pieces of pie!!! One pumpkin, one bannana cream, and one chocolate!
We played games, watched movies, went out in the snow for a minute and sat by the fire talking. Lane totally looks stoned in this picture, but he's just tired, we stayed up late playing. I am so thankful for this man. He is an amazing husband and father. I'm so thankful for Brookie and the love and laughter she brings into our home. I'm grateful for our friends and family who are always there for us and support us.

Last but not least, Sunday when we got home from church we made sugar cookies. Brookie's favorite part was to put the sprinkles on!

Sounds like fun! That is so cute you make cookies with Brookie already...I have to be in a good mood to let my kids help me make cookies, because it takes twice the time with their help!
