November to Remember

We had a lovely, lovely Thanksgiving celebration at our house. We were so blessed to be surrounded by so many people we love. And we hope your Turkey Day celebration was filled with laughter and love...and that you also have much to be thankful for!

Following Thanksgiving, we went on vacation. Wahoo Vacation! We headed over to Arizona to hang out for a week...and it was AWESOME!!!!

J found an awesome resort on line that proved to be even more awesome when we arrived. Our room was AMAZING, the resort property was gorgeous with 2 golf courses, a lovely day spa, it was surrounded by mountains, had 4 pools, several streams, a giant waterslide and WAS TOTALLY EMPTY. No joke when you see these pics...no one goes on vacation the week after Thanksgiving so we had the whole place pretty much to ourselves.

So, we just hung out at the resort and spent some great family time. Our favorite family obsession was the giant waterslide. Again we were the only people there using it. Attached are a couple of videos of our waterslide fun. I'm pleased to say that Mama was by far the fastest down the slide. I put the camera in a ziplock so you could come down the slide at rocket speed with me. The other video is of daddy coming down with Jenna (although she later would prefer to go down alone or go with mom because she likes to go fast.) See the speed differential between the 2 videos. Seriously, I know it is dorky but it was awesome and I'm still sort of giddy about the fun we had.
