Thanksgiving in Arizona

This year for Thanksgiving we traveled to Mesa, Arizona. My sister lives there and the rest of my family came too. We were all there together. It was great!! The weather was beautiful. It was in the 70's during the day and only got down into the high 40's at night. We were able to go to the park, take outdoor family photos, and we even ate Thanksgiving dinner outside!! We had a great time.

The family photo attempts didn't go too bad, but as you can see Brayden didn't want to smile and my nephews always had a silly face on.

We went to the park the day after Thanksgiving and rode down the hills on "summer slides". They were so fun!! We even got my mom and dad to do it. That was a sight. :)

This was Ellie's only ride, but she seemed to like it.

It took a little coaxing to get Brayden on it but once he tried it he didn't want off.

Laying on Pam's lawn on Thanksgiving night. Like I said the weather was gorgeous. These are all the cousins.

They could even jump on the tramp. It was nice to be able to send the kids outside when the adults needed a little peace and quiet.

Here Aunt Megan is showing the kids how to make some cute Thanksgiving turkeys for everyone.

Here is my brother, 2 sisters, one bro-in-law and my parents eating the yummy dinner. Notice the pool in the background. It wasn't warm enough to get into, but Tyler jumped in for $10 from his uncle Ryan. He said it was freezing!!!

We went to the Mesa temple to see the lights. It definitely wasn't as cold as seeing the lights on Temple Square in SLC.
