thanksgiving break

Grace is pretty much becoming a professional at this flying thing.  She did a-mazing.  I was super happy about how well she did, and Matt being with us made it even better.  She had a good time exploring the windows and talking with people behind us, telling them all about a lion story. :) 

Christa and Lexi picked us up and on the way to Payson Grace kept saying,

 "Madi, EXCITED!"  She loves her little cousin buddy. 

 As different as their temperaments are they play really well together, Madi is such a fun little thing. 

This was a little game they decided to play, all the adults piled in and we turned off the lights.  They came and found us and would both scream and run around the room for a minute or two.  Pretty silly stuff, but surprisingly very entertaining.

As always, Grace loved her time with Aunt Ashley.  She is so nice to always take the time to play.

Here they are talking on their phones to eachother. :)

One of my favorite nights at the Bushmans was when Mckay put together an Amazing Race for everyone.  SO much fun!  He did an excellent job with the clues, I have never played before but I think we should make it a tradition from now on.

Alpedio came to the house to visit our last night with the Bushmans.  He is so awesome!  We had such a fun time sitting around the table and chatting with him.  He brought some awesome Columbian t-shirts for Matt and Neil.  I totally forgot to get a picture of them wearing them, but they were sweet.  Boston loved Alpidio, and he was really cute playing with him.

It was so fun to be with my family, I always forget how much I miss them until I see them again.  We had a delicious Thanksgiving (my mom is amazing I tell you) my favorite part was talking about what we were thankful for.  It has been an eventful year for our family, so I loved hearing their feelings.  We have so much to be grateful for!

I love this picture of Jesse because it is so typical, I have never a seen young kid have such a way with children.  Grace fell in love with him all over again!

My mom's pies are incredible.  I feel so lucky to inherit all of her recipes, 

many of which also came from my Grandma Hadfield. 

We all have a sweet tooth so this is definitely one of the best parts of Thanksgiving for us!

Grace and Owen playing in the leaves

The wheelchair is a big hit for the kids, it was so funny to watch Grace ask for a ride and then yell, "weeeee!" ha ha.  Just another way that Grandma is so much fun.

We had so much fun playing games that night!  Scott and Brittany were there with Brittany's roommate and my mom was nice enough to do a thanksgiving activity with Owen and Grace so we could all enjoy ourselves. 

We had fun going to The Chocolate in South Jordan.  It was heavenly. 

We decided to do a little photo shoot while we were at it, check it out here.

{Jen's  Baby Shower}

My mom and I ventured to Provo one night to go to my friend Jen's shower.  This is her first, a little girl and I am soooo excited for her.  Girl showers are always so much fun.  Her sister Heather is a hoot and did an awesome job entertaining.  I miss my Jen so much and can't wait to see how cute her little girl is, she is bound to be incredibly adorable.



(Pregnant with girls, Jen is 37 weeks and I am 31.)

What a fun trip we had!  We won't be going out for Christmas,

so I am so happy that we were able to spend time with family and friends. 

We'll be missing everyone, so I guess you'll just have to come out to see the new arrival in January. ;)
