Thanksgiving :) and Utah trip!


Nate's second week off from school was spent in Utah.

We spend 3 days with the Bartholomew side and 3 days with the Forsyth side.
Lexi loved being around so many people and has some new favorite words. "Nanny and Grandpa" We are sad that the week flew by so fast but get to go back in just one short month for Christmas... so I guess we will survive! 

This is Nate's grandma. Grandma Curtis! How cute is she? She is so sweet and good with Lexi. This is them having a little bonding time :)



We loved visiting family. 
We are always spoiled rotten when we go home and get to do all sorts of fun things.

Dinner, bowling, game nights, movies..... the list goes on.

Bowling is one of the Bartholomew brothers favorite things to do.
It is one of my favorite things to watch...
They always make our outings so much fun. They are silly and weird... but we still love them :)


When I asked them to smile for a picture I somehow got these poses from them?! haha 

Bowling Bartholomew Brothers! 

Lexi loved all of the attention. Even though her naps were far and few between and she was tired at times. It was still fun to watch her silly side come out for those who love her.

The second half of the week and Thanksgiving day was spent with the Forsyth side. We had Thanksgiving dinner at my aunt Lana's house in Herriman. It was delicious and we were stuffed to the max! We spent the afternoon visiting with all 40 of my cousins, aunts and uncles. I LOVE FAMILY.

I am so grateful for everyone in my life. Especially family. Where would we be without them?

My family is getting bigger...

we are still silly...

This time of year is such a good time to reflect on what is truly important. I am thankful for my family and all they do for me. I am thankful for my health and the health of those I love. 
I am thankful to be a mother. I am thankful for the gospel and the happiness it brings to my life.

We hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving FULL of THANKS!

We returned to Arizona a few days ago and have already put our Christmas tree up!
Even if it is 85 degrees... we are making it feel like Christmas!

Happy Holiday Season
Love, The Bartholomew Family! 

Hope you are all well and happy :)
