This year for Thanksgiving, we decided to rent a cabin at Big Bear Lake, CA with family. It was such a great idea! Aaron couldn't go, because he had to work on Black Friday, but I was happy I would at least be with my family. Between my Uncle Dean, Aunt Suzi and their kids, my brother Shane and his girlfriend Stephanie, and my mom and dad, I knew I wouldn't be lonely.
We drove up to Big Bear on Wednesday afternoon and braved the rain, snow, and crazy fog while driving up the mountain. I thought we would never make it! We got there late that night and I was so excited to see a little snow falling from the sky. We Arizonans don't see snow too much and to be honest I miss being cold!
The next morning was Thanksgiving and I was up early (one of the fall backs from getting up for work so early), so I decided to take a walk around the neighborhood. It was so pretty and there was just enough snow left to satisfy me.
We cooked all day and our Thanksgiving feast was wonderful, I don't think I was hungry all weekend! But I guess that didn't stop me from eating non-stop like I was starving.
Anywho, on top of all that I got to see the two cutest kids in the whole wide world (although I must say all my cousins are pretty cute)!
I hadn't seen my cousins, Nic and Nat, in almost 6 months. That is way too long! And boy have they changed. Natalie is talking a lot more and her "don't bump your head" was just about the cutest thing ever. There were spiral staircases at the cabin and I guess she heard somebody say that. Adorable, right? 
Nic is getting so big and he is such a happy little guy. He is close to walking, except that he stands on his tippie toes half the time (so cute). I bet he will be running the next time I see him!
I am so thankful that I was able to spend the holiday with family and we had a wonderful weekend eating, playing, and watching football (Go Nebraska)!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
