Hope fun that you got to get away and enjoy time with family- Looks like the New Harmony area in Utah :}
Also love your last picture of Home- that tree looks like the tree that Bella and Edward stood in....in the movie twilight :} :}
What a wonderful trip! I love your family pictures! I'm curious, what was the "big surprise"?
How fun!! You got some great pictures. And I agree -- two hours on a plane sure beats 12 in the car!!
Thrilled for ya, you know the flying part, hello! It's a beautiful thing!
It looks like you had fun and got some great family photos!
Happy Holidays to your cute familiy!
Looks like a great trip! I can't believe you flew with all those kids! You are a better woman than I am! I love the dog poo pictures. Something always goes wrong when you try to get the whole family in a picture! Welcome home!
Looks like you had the perfect thanksgiving and got some great family time in. And how great that it didn't require 24 hours in the car this time!!! Hooray :)
I like how those family pictures turned out--it's a beautiful area in the background.
It looks like you had so much fun! I'm glad you got to visit family!
Jen we were in St. George for Thanksgiving - but it rained the whole time we were there - how did you get the sun for those pictures?
WOW. You had a very full week! Sounds like the flying was a success - yay!
You really did a great job capturing all the wonderful things your family got to do! How incredibly fun to get to spend the holidays with such a great family!
