Thanksgiving Highlights


Sooooo! Marisha and George and I drove to the Tri-Cities to spend the holiday with all the family except for TC, Ashley and Savanna unfortunately. But we created great memories!

The picture above is Lexi (2 and 1/2) and I at Columbia River Temple. I heard over and over again, "Wexi 'det married der"
Until her voice got so desperate that I realized she wanted to right NOW. I explained that she couldn't yet and why but we took a peak inside and she got to see a picture of Jesus on the wall. It was so cute to experience how exited she is almost like she really gets it.


Kaytlin (7 months) sucking on a wrapped candy cane for a min. So cute!

Having a feast in gratitude! ;) With our cousins. (Allison and Mike's family)
Later in the week we played Celebrity at their house which was SO MUCH FUN!



Kaytlin smiling at me doing patty-cake...and getting all into it. It's hot, you should see it. Maybe I'll even post a video of it later. ;)

Oh wait - not-so-hot. Okay... but HILARIOUS at the very least; just ask Kaytlin.


Awww! Lexi looking up at Angel Moroni.

I love this picture with the sunset and rainbow in the background while Lexi makes her way to the "very big swide."
We went on several play adventures. Pretty much to every slide within a 10 mile radius.




Guess I wore her out!
This was after one of our slide dates and also the 2nd night in a row that we drove around looking at "Christmas Wights." She'd say, "I wanna see all of 'dem, Aprow!"


I got to see my good friend Jen and her kidlets!


George and I had a relaxing time. The truth is, it's not always 'Gallagher Paradise' around here and it was nice to take a break from the stresses of life.


We played Kristin and John's Wii a lot. This picture was James and George in the middle of what seemed like a never ending tug-o-war! It was a riot to watch.


I love this picture.



This is Lexi and I having aunt/niece time ;) while Cricket covetously looks on. And I apparently didn't get the memo that it was a silly face picture.


It was a fun week, shopping, playing the Wii Fit, taking the nieces out, movies with the fam, out to dinner, watching John play fetch with Cricket in the big back yard, having quality sister time, and eating too many sweets. Great memories of Thanksgiving 2008!
