Come have Thanksgiving with the Gallups!

We had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving in Heber, Arizona with Jordan's Aunt & Uncles and their fabulous chillins! Cheri taught me how to do mashed potatoes [since I WAS in charge of  all 20 lbs] :) And Josh, her son, let us know that Sea Salt tastes better. Would've been good to know before I started ;)



Had to taste first of course!

Our kids were watched & entertained by the cousins and it was so nice to have breaks. 
Thanks so much guys!


Our feast is ready! 
Along with our many bowls of plenty. :)

I will STILL stick to; 
I think he looks more like me than Jordan or Camryn :)

Cute face

Let the feasting begin! Load em up! 



The day after Thanksgiving, we didn't spend it at Walmart, or the Mall, or anywhere like that.
Tempted to.. But no :)
We stayed in the mountains enjoying the snow, fresh air, relaxation, family lovin, games, movies and hot chocolate with a good book.
Oh, and we hunted for pine cones :) 

Where are you pine cones??


The best faces come out of this little girl :)

had a great surveillance

Helped each other through the slippery snow

Once we found the pine cones, had to clean them off to bring them inside

Gets done with the camera sometimes :)

Forcing one with Kelsey

Jordan takes most of the pictures, so I had to get him in one

Madeline needed to be in one as well

and Brooklyn. They're such great models :)

Camryn bonked her nose on the ping pong table.. Ouch

  And we'll take a 2nd picture, cause he looks so good! :)

Had a great Thanksgiving and hope you did too! :)
