Thaksgiving in Arizona!

Nick and I went down to Arizona for Thanksgiving and had a blast. On Thanksgiving day it down poured (Thunderstorms!!! I sure miss them)! We were able to spend time with all of siblings and their families.

My cousin had this fun skate board that Nick had to try out.

The whole Nielson Family together. Right now there's Dad and Mom, 8 siblings/spouses and 7 grand kids with 2 more on the way (and no it's not me- it's Heidi and Carrie, Jason's wife).

On Saturday afternoon we took the kids miniature golfing. 5 adults to 5 kids ~ It was a blast!!

Nick was partnered with Haven, Heidi's 2 year old. Nick had fun golfing with Haven. Nick said he should have played left handed to give Jace a chance to get a hole in one. Nick and Haven got a couple holes in one!

Carrie and Carter putting.

Jace and Christian, with Christian trying to get the ball in the hole.

Me and Jaren waiting our turn.

Heidi and Christian. Heidi went back and forth between Haley and Christian.

Christian is such and great big brother. He helped Haven go down the slide. After that she couldn't stop!

Haven going down!!!

Carter followed right after her.

After all the fun miniature golfing, we headed over the the Mesa Temple to look at the lights. I forget how amazing they are. We even had time to pose for a family photo. All of us were wearing warm clothes, except Nick, who loves the cold. I sure love my family on the friendships we have been able to build.

And I couldn't forget my cute little niece, Haley! She's getting so big!
