Thanksgiving

I wasn't very good at documenting Thanksgiving.  I wasn't feeling great and was completely exhausted by the time we actually started eating!   We were in charge of the Turkey's this year.  We brined two of them and did one in the oven and the other on a rotisserie on the grill.  Oh my gosh, the one on the grill was the best turkey ever!  I wish I would have got a picture of that, but it was amazing!

Charlie and Adella discovered how fun a trampoline can be.  Charlie especially loved it and was getting pretty good at bouncing.  It's so fun to watch kids learn how to jump!

And Adella learned how awesome chocolate pie can be!

And we all appreciated the gorgeous AZ weather that allowed us to enjoy being outside as well!

Making Waffles

Helping mom make waffles for lunch.  Yes, we had waffles for lunch.  Sometimes a mom just runs out of tricks!

Just for fun

My friend Laurel and I have been trading off babysitting one day a week so we each have a couple of hours to do the things we need/want to!  She took some cute pics of the kids playing outside one day. 

These kids!

I often find myself saying, quit being so cute to this girl!

And this guy loves yogurt

Guess who's home!

We welcomed home our favorite missionaries right before Thanksgiving!  It was a long 3 1/2 years!  Grandma and Grandpa Button left with only 2 grandkids and came home to 9, with 3 more on the way!

There were lots of picture takers and I was off to the side and didn't realize until just now that I am missing poor Bristol in this picture!  And of course we are missing Rowan and Sadie but will be so excited to have everyone together in a few weeks!
