Gary and I drove to Phoenix for Thanksgiving this year. A bunch of Gary's family all gathered in Phoenix where my sister in-law, Liz lives with her cute family. We all crowded in their home for four days and had way too much fun!
We woke up early Thursday morning and took a 45 minute drive to watch Brenna and Todd compete in a Triathlon. It was way fun to watch and I really wished I was able to do it too! Maybe if I was a couple months less pregnant, I would have attempted it!
... then we enjoyed a FABULOUS Thanksgiving Feast!
Tanner and Corbin digging in
Little Ava sure did love that jell-o salad!
This is Owen, the newest grandchild on the Fears side (well for another month anyways) - He and our little guy are going to be best buddies!
The grand kids showing off their turkeys they made.
After dinner, we had a Variety show...a tradition in the Fears family. I really need to come up with some talents for the next time we all get together.
Of course, after our show, we had desserts...way too many delicious things to choose from. I went with my all time favorite, Apple Pie.
After we got the little kids to bed, the Scrap booking began. Now, I don't scrapbook, but I try! :) My mother in-law brought us all these cute little books to put together to put our Thanksgiving Pictures in. I can't wait to get mine all done...and I better do it soon or I'll never have time! - I almost forgot to mention that Gary was the one that did my hair. :) He came over and rubbed my head while I worked hard at making my little book, and then decided to put it in pig tails.
The next day we went to the Zoo. - I have no pictures but have to also mention that Gary, Brad and Todd and I got up at 4:00am and went to Best Buy for the Black Friday sales! It was AWESOME! I LOVE doing that every year...for some reason I get such a kick out of watching all these crazy people (of which, I guess I'm one) sacrificing sleep to go spend all sorts of money! We did get a great deal on a video camera...so it wasn't all for nothing!

And then had a camp fire
Just practicing
Played games around the camp fire
Looked at Jupiter
Saturday evening we all went to the Mesa Temple to look at the lights. They always do such a nice job and of course, Gary noticed the perfect landscaping!
Sunday, we went to church and Todd blessed baby Owen. It was fun to be there for that. 
The kids were loving feeling my belly all weekend long, they thought it was so neat to feel him move or kick. So while they were taking pictures, they all came over and started telling me what body part they were feeling. It was funny...especially when Tanner told me he felt his PANTS!
