I'm glad you figured the pictures out! Thanksgiving in Utah is a big jump start for the Holidays! I love Hank too, he's even more adorable in person!
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures!!! We do have twinner posts- that's too funny! I'm glad you had as great of a time as I did. As soon as I figure out my Christmas backgrounds I'll help you with yours so it matches your interior design abilities and love for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the perfect Thanksgiving. Sammy looks just like I remember Hailey. She is adorable and so are the other three. By the way we did a fun London puzzle. Thought of you throughout the puzzle. Somehow I've got to get them too you.
ReplyDeleteI saw you went to tai pan trading. I discovered that store when I was there in February and I am so sad they don't have one here. they did open one in St. George so it's getting closer. I went a little crazy there. Looks like you guys had a blast.
ReplyDeleteBTW, TaiPan opens in Henderson, NV next year--only 3 1/2 hours away!!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to have you up here at our new house! Your kids are growing so fast! I am glad you guys made it back safely and know that you are always invited when you come up to Utah. I will have John email you the PB recipe, so easy!
ReplyDeleteAllison!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I found you while checking out blogs! You are so beautiful and havn't changed a bit. Your children are gorgeous, and, well, I love that you have a blog. I just barely figured out how to email pictures, so needless to say I am behind the times. I am jealous that you get to live in CA -- we have been in Maryland for 2.5 years and I still miss the West coast. (we were in Palo Alto for 5). Anyway, I would love to catch up -- my email is

I have been waiting for an update!!! It looked SO fun! Utah is so fun to visit (just not to live)!
ReplyDeleteallison-
ReplyDeleteI love all of your photos. your kids are so cute. I just can't believe how big everyone is. I am jealous you have christmas done. my house is a wreck as I decided to start cleaning out my storage room and wow, what the crap was I thinking? anyway, had to write. stay pretty.
Why do vacations look like so much more fun, afterward.... when you look at the pics??
ReplyDeleteSeriously, we did have a great time with you in Utah, and I especially like having Robert Redford provide our Thanksgiving dinner!
