Thanksgiving

As I am looking through my photos I noticed that I did not take any pictures of Thanksgiving dinner. I took a lot of pictures around Thanksgiving but some how missed that day! Anyway it was really great. We drove up to Santa Barbara and were with my family this year. Everyone was there except Billy and Holly's family in Utah. Joshua and Abigail loved being with the cousins. I love fall pictures so I took these pictures of them right before dinner.

Caleb had to go back to work, and since Joshua was still out of school we stayed at my parents a few more days. We helped Grandma and Grandpa set up all their Christmas decorations. The kids spent hours playing with the train.

Joshua's Thanksgiving Program

Joshua had a little school program for Thanksgiving. It was so cute! It was just the Kindergarten classes  all dressed up like pilgrims and Indians. Joshua was so excited to be an Indian, and to make his own instrument. FOr weeks before he was singing all the songs everywhere we went. For the program they sang some songs and then had a Thanksgiving feast. It was a very fun way to start the break.

Family Photo Shoot

While we were in San Diego we did a quick family photo shoot. It was us and a tripod... so the full family shots did not work out the greatest, but we got a lot of cute pictures.

San Diego Trip

Around Thanksgiving Caleb had 10 days off.  It was so wonderful! We decided to take some of that time and take a family vacation to San Diego. It was a great little trip. We stayed out on Coronado and had four days to adventure around. We went to the Mormon Battalion Memorial, Old town, Mission Bay, Point Loma, La Jolla, rode bikes, played at the beach and ate lots of good food, etc. It was a much needed break after Caleb's grueling October schedule.
