Thanksgiving Shmanksgiving

For our first Thanksgiving together, we made the trip down to Arizona to visit Nate's sister Jennifer and her family.  It was quite the car ride (14 hours) but we split it into two days each way which definitely made it more bearable.  Here are some of the highlights!  (I realized once we got home that there are no pictures of Jennifer's family which makes me kind of sad...)

Crossing the Hoover Dam...

Thanksgiving Dinner

The Christmas lights at the Mesa Temple

Attending the Mesa Temple the next day.

Playing legos with my niece Elise.  She's amazing at them!  But the creation below was all mine.  Elise gave me instructions to build a place for the lego people to play with their pets and this is what I came up with.  I know, I should work for lego I'm so good.

Driving by the St. George Temple on the way home.

I'd say it was a pretty successful trip we made!  The only thing missing was that I couldn't write our wedding thank-you cards.  I had postcards printed (designed them myself!) but didn't open the package until we were in the car and it turns out the printer printed the wrong file....so I couldn't write a single one.  Hopefully they get the right one printed soon so I can thank all the fabulous people who sent us gifts and helped us out!
