Mesa Temple Lights (Part 3 of Thanksgiving Weekend)

It was so fun this year to share our annual Mesa Temple Lights tradition with so many family members! They loved it and the weather was perfect! We hardly even needed jackets! Such a great way to kick off the Christmas Season!

Wade's Baptism (Part 2 of Thanksgiving Weekend)

Wow! I CANNOT believe that little Waders is 8 and now baptized! I remember when he was born and how I was always soooo excited to see my first little nephew! Now he is all grown up:) It was such a great idea of Jen's to have his baptism Thanksgiving weekend! Wade was baptized and confirmed by his day who did an amazing job! My dad gave a wonderful talk about the Holy Ghost...so special that he could do that for Wade on his big day! Congrats Wade! We love you!

Whirl Wind Weekend Part 1

Since most of our family was in town for Thanksgiving, we all went to Peter Piper Pizza on Black Friday to celebrate the many December birthdays (Dad, Rylee, Grandma Chloe, and Ben). Happy Birthday!!!

Thanksgiving 2011

This year, Thanksgiving was at our house and we were so happy that so many family members were able to come and make the day extra special! We had my Grandma and Grandpa Rasmussen, dad & Paula, Julie & Jaxon, the Ropers & Larry, and Sam all over for dinner! It was chaotic, but what is a big family get together without chaos! We all had a wonderful time and the food turned out perfectly mainly thanks to Ben and Jen!
