Thanksgiving

 Thanksgiving: We ended up going to UTAH, Greg needs his family too. If we don’t make the effort who will? We flew up really late Wednesday night. Azalyn was the only one that fell asleep. We had a layover in CO, the kids and I knew we were going to turn into popsicles. The layover was not the worst, but a direct flight is always best.  For Azlyn I printed all the standing tall books ¼ the size so she could color them. We also brought games on the plane. On the way home Colvin and I played uno 90% of the time. 

We almost left Denali’s phone on the plane. We just need to calm down, you don’t get off the plane fast.

Thanksgiving was fun at Tanas. She did not want me to help in the kitchen it was nice relaxing, but I missed the crazy. All her girls were there.  We talked about unique blessings and my family had a ton to talk about.

We ran my kids ragged. None of them got up till 8. Azalyn got sick Friday (we were going to make plans, but nothing stuck I guess we know why now) she took a 3+hr nap then slept from 9-9. We did make it to La Casita, it is as good as your mind can make it.

Saturday, we had the Proctor Christmas party. It was fun to see everyone. Tana had Santa come and Az was overjoyed. Azalyn got a flower Lego set thing- so cute Colvin got a Lego car – had it together the day after we got home (we got home really late) Denali got a gift card – had it spent in 10 min. We did a painted ornament, and I had paint all over my bag when we got home.  Tana also did a family little gift exchange game. Azalyn weaseled her way into two presents. One was Christmas socks that are more like tights on her but so cute.

We had a first for us. Azalyn got sick on the plane, but she was able to make it to the bathroom. Then she fell asleep, again a very late flight, but we wanted as much time as possible with family.  Memories will last a lifetime.

Traveling tips; later at night they care less about the bag. They care less with kids. Walmart sack with “food” is never stopped. I did eat some sweets, but I tried to be good.
