Back to Iowa and Thanksgiving

Headed back to Iowa again. Just hoping that there aren't any delays like the way there!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

This year we went over to our friends the Pratts. Carson was beyond excited to get to play with Raegan and Dallas all day.

Decorating for Christmas.

Hot chocolate and Polar Express night with LuLu and Miriam.

Carson left his Ducky in Utah at Grandma Campbells house so a few days after getting home he got a package. He was so happy to find surprise gumballs in it also! He just kept hugging his duck saying how much he missed him ha ha.

Picking a package up at the copy shop I looked over and Carson was reading the paper.

After Brooks showers he bundles up in towels and blankets and lays in the hall while I get ready for the day.

Brooks is really catching on to everything Carson does and copies. Lately Carson loves playing hide n seek so if you tell Brooks to hide he just closes his eyes thinking he is hiding from us. Ha ha it's so cute and funny!

Castle park walk and Cheesecake Factory

Brooks and Paige hanging out.

We couldn't find Brooks for a bit at my Grandparents house and we finally found him hiding in a random closet ha ha.

Had to have a Tasty's donut! After I got Cam to agree to come with me it turned into a whole family party. So fun! We made the waiter super nervous when we all walked in but it turned out great.

Stopped at Castle park to get some energy out of all the kids. They loved the massive dirt pile and the nature walk. Brooks followed Matt around the whole time and Matt was so nice to play with him.

We stopped to see Grandpa's spot at the cemetery one last time before heading out the next day.

Todd playing light sabers with Carson and Hazel.

Brooks attached to Matt and loved him! Luckily Brooks woke up from his nap right when they were headed out so they got to say goodbye to each other.

That night all the siblings went out to Cheesecake Factory without kids.  It was so much fun to be with them and be able to talk. Love them all so much!!

Grandpa Brough’s funeral

It was so hard to say goodbye to Grandpa Brough even though it was his time. The viewing and funeral were perfect and it was so good to hear all about his life.  It also was so much fun to see cousins I don't get to see much.

Lots of cousin fun and dancing!
