Thanksgiving Week 2019

 The majority of Thanksgiving week was spent with David's side of the family.
Rachael came home from a mission and Stephen Jr came home from college...
 ...so Grandma got to be with all her Grandchildren again!
 And of course, her boys!
The sister-in-laws got to get away for a much needed lunch date.  I'm always surprised what I learn when women get together without husbands and children.  There is just a different type of conversation that can be had and is usually something that I come away from gaining something that never could have been expressed if we were chasing little ones around or comforting a teenager.  All 3 of us got to be heard, we got to listen, and it was all uninterrupted.   
 When Stephen Jr and Levi were next to each other, we were reminded just how much these 2 look like each other.  Cousins?  More like brothers!
 We found a place inside to play (since it was cold and snowy) yet they ended up playing football outside anyway.  
 We also just hung out, went to a movie, and met up in Salt Lake City to see the Christmas lights at Temple Square.

I'm ending it with these 2 cuties!  The first picture is of them at Temple Square and the last is of Stephen Jr. with Ruger when he was a little over a year old.  They have always liked each other but seeing them 2 together this last get together cemented it. Ruger would call Stephen Jr, "His friend, Stephen" instead of his cousin Stephen.  It was so cute!
