We came home from our quick trip to Arizona in time to help at Troy’s Gobble Gobble Give service project at work. It was fun for the boys to see the campus where their dad spends a lot of his time. Not surprisingly, Nash started a name-tag trend. We helped…
We headed to Arizona for the beginning of Thanksgiving Break to soak up some family time in the desert. We took a day trip to the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess to enjoy the heated pools. We came back another night for the annual tree lighting ceremony. It’s always amusing to see…
We hosted 14 people for Thanksgiving and thanks to some extra bedroom space since our move, we were able to fit everyone comfortably. The boys loved having their cousins around for a few days. After rolling out the rolls to rise and prepping the turkey on Thanksgiving morning, we hit…
Our extended Tanner family started arriving at our house on Thanksgiving Eve and we headed to the Spectrum shopping center for an evening on the town. First on the agenda was the ferris wheel. It was funny to look below and see the ice skating rink in our definitely not…

We headed to the desert for Thanksgiving. The boys had the whole week off from school so it was worth it to travel. Funny enough, we had to go to the desert to pull out the winter apparel. It was a lot chillier than Southern California. Nash’s “relaxing” photos have…

Troy’s parents flew in the day after Thanksgiving and since they missed out on the big feast, we spent the rest of the weekend making up for lost time. I never imagined we’d be spending the end of November at the pool and beach. The pool was a tad chilly…
Now this is the part of Thanksgiving I am on board with. We hosted the feast this year, so naturally, I made place cards and put together silver and gold place settings for the table.
We hosted Troy’s siblings at our house for Thanksgiving. His parents couldn’t join us until the next day because they had an assignment to serve the prisoners at the jail in Salt Lake City on Thanksgiving day. Hosting the entire meal made us feel like true adults. Having four children…
