I love the holidays. I appreciate the times I am able to go home for them so much more now that I am married. Ever since Ben and I got married we switch families for the holidays. So the first year we spent Thanksgiving with my family and Christmas with the Andersons. Last year was switched but we did not get to go to Reno for Christmas because of when I was due with Aidan. So I was especially grateful to be able to spend Thanksgiving in Reno this year. Ben was able to get a whole week off of work. We left Friday the 16th and came back yesterday. It was a very fun filled week. Everybody in my family was able to come home except for Robbie, whom we missed dearly, but is still on his mission in New York. Ben helped out my dad on a lot of projects that week which I know my dad appreciated very much. He also played ball with the boys, which is where he received his black eye, and they also played some turkey bowl on Thursday. I enjoyed the nice little break from being a mom because my family can't get enough of Aidan to go around. We watched BYU play #6 ranked Louisville in basketball and beat them on Friday night. Let's not forget the BIG GAME on Saturday, BYU vs. UTAH. What a wonderful game that was to watch! Just to end the sports, we watched BYU barely loose to #1 ranked North Carolina in basketball Saturday night. Thanksgiving is always such a joy to me and I am grateful for family more than anything at this time of year.
