Thanksgiving

This year we were so lucky to have visitors for Thanksgiving.  Justin (Steve's Brother) and Ashlee and their kids came from Salt Lake City, UT for 4 days and our family friends Rick and Michelle Bradshaw and thier kiddos came from Las Cruces, NM for 2 days.



We had fun the night before going out for dinner at Dion's even though it was pretty chaotic with 6 kids!

Thanksgiving Day was so fun.  The girls did Zumba in the morning and then started in on getting dinner ready. 
We had a great dinner with Ham, Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Rolls, Ashlee's Frog eye Salad, Green Bean Casserole, Stuffing, Cranberries...and probably some more.   I had a blast doing most of the cooking.....especially when I enlisted the help of the guys peeling potatoes!

Michelle, looking awesome at 5 mos pregnant cutting potatoes.

Hired help.

Rick acting crazy...like usual.


We had Pumpkin Chiffon Pie, Berry Pie and Pecan Pie all with your choice of whipped cream and ice cream.   (Then I'm surprised when I'm only 13 weeks pregnant and show already!)

We spent most of the day going through the Black Friday Ad's and planning our shopping trip that started at 10PM that night.   But ended just as quick when we saw the lines at Toys R Us!  We went home and slept til 2:30 am then tried again with more success.   The girls hit Toys R Us, Wal-Mart, and Target.  Pretty Crazy and fun.

We had a super hero dress up party that night too!

Thanks to both families for making our Holiday so great.  We love you.

Baby number 3 on the way.

I realized that we didn't post about our newest addition, Baby Wright 3 on the way.  Due June 1st, and very happy to be a Gemini!

We are blessed!

Michelle came to visit!

My friend Michelle came out from Washington DC to visit us for a few days!   We got to spend time with her shopping, eating, and just talking.   It was so fun to be able to see her.  Bennett and Michelle love to bake together and made mini cupcakes, Bennett LOVED it!

Then she headed off to SLC to visit another friend up there.   But the kids and I headed up too (we drove and she flew) so we got to go to Cafe Rio with her before she left to go back home to Washington DC.  Her first Cafe Rio EVER.....what an honor to be there with her!  I wish I took more pictures when she was here though.

We had a great time with her here!
