Thanksgiving with the Nelson Crew

When thanksgiving is getting closer, it is a sign that my favorite holiday seasons are coming.  Once thanksgiving hits a whole string of events happens.  We have Birthdays and Christmas and more Birthdays then New Years, so as you can see this time of the year is my favorite! All we do is party and hangout with family, what is better than that?

This year to start off the holiday season we went to Utah to be with Michael's family for Thanksgiving. They had to come down to Utah anyways to get somethings done for the business and so on, so it was a lot of fun being able to be with them for Thanksgiving.

What we did:
First off we visited with Michael's aunt and uncle who we are staying with for the weekend and got all settled in.  
The next say was Thanksgiving and I made my favorite dish! 
Sweet potatoes casserole(the kind with brown sugar and pecans and coconut).  This is my absolute favorite dish for the holidays, I could eat the whole pan if I wanted to.  After our Yummy Thanksgiving dinner we all decided to go to the movies.  Red Dawn was playing, so we were all excited to go and see it.  Let me tell you that movie is really good, but man I cried the whole time.  There are just some sad sad parts in that movie. It was very good though and I would definitely watch it again. After the movie we went back to the house and decided to go to walmart to check out black friday at midnight! All I needed was a raiser so we really just wanted to go to people watch and let me tell you there are some crazy people in the world that will do anything for great prices, like this one couple we saw brought there little infant in that was on oxygen.  How SCARY is that!! That poor baby and her crazy parents. If you ever get bored on a Thanksgiving night you will be entertained by crazy black friday shoppers.
Friday we headed off to Park City.
I had never been to Park City, so I was excited to see what everyone was talking about.  When we got there we went to the strip mall to look around and of course we had to take a picture by a cool old mining cart.

After exploring Park City we headed to Salt Lake to look at all the Christmas lights at the new City Creek Mall and Temple Square. I love Christmas lights, it was so fun going around and looking at everything all lit up. Here are some pictures of the beautiful lights.

A perfect day to bounce on some trampolines and show off some Nelson Family skills
 Over all Thanksgiving was pretty fun this year and I am so excited for Christmas and my Birthday to come now!

Kicking our summer off right.

Summer is officially here! My favorite season has finally arrived. There is no better way to celebrate the first weekend of summer then camping! Michael and I love camping. Their is just something about campfires, sleeping under the stars, and s'mores  that get me excited to camp. This weekend we camped in Provo canyon with some friends that are going to BYU. Once we got camp all set up and the fire going this little guy decided to pay us a visit. Not going to lie I thought it was a bear sneaking up on us at first. I was scared out of my mind, but then he stuck his head up and I felt a lot better. After making some yummy s'mores and relaxing by the fire we got in the cars and headed to squaw peak to  look at the beautiful lights from on top of the mountain. You can see all of Utah Valley from up there. Everyone knows that if you are looking to get a goodnights rest  that camping is not what you want to be doing. ...

A THANKSGIVING FULL OF FAMILY & LAUGHTER

I was so excited when I found out my family was able to go to Moses Lake for Thanksgiving! Tualatin is only 4.45 hours away from Moses Lake, so once they said they said they were going,  Michael and I were definitely going too. We had so much fun with the family, but missed Kelsey and her husband a lot! Hopefully next holiday season they will be able to get more time off from the Marines. So one of the nights we were there we all played Heads Up (The app game Ellen Degeneres made that is like charades.)  We seriously all about pee'd our pants we were dying of laughter! By far one of the funnest game nights I have had in a while!  I was able to catch a few of them on video, but I definitely missed the funniest ones. Here is a look at our crazy and awesome family! Justin and Dad Michael and Uncle Corby Seriously though if you are looking for something fun to do with a bunch of people, this is it my friends!! Do it. I absolu...
