Thanksgiving {the Idaho part}

Blake's first Cafe Rio experience

 Idaho Falls was a great time, as usual.  Unfortunately, we were so busy with family that we didn't get a chance to see any of our friends there (sorry friends!)  Next time, for sure.

We celebrate cousin Danica's birthday at Blast Off, where the kids no doubt got all sorts of diseases from the ball pits.  But it was so fun!

 We took a trip up to the new Sharp family cabin, and along the way, stopped for lunch at Big Juds.

The kids were thrilled with the giant-ness of the burger and it tasted amazing, of course.

 We loved loved loved the cabin!

There was just enough snow on the ground to entertain the children, and the cabin was warm and cozy.

 Grandpa Sharp got out the real bear rug that his dad caught years ago.  A big hit!

 And we celebrated Grandma Sharp's 21st birthday, while hanging out with Aunt Lisa, who was recovering from surgery.

It's always so nice just being with the family.  We sure do love them!

All in all, our Thanksgiving trip was great.  But oh man, it's no fun traveling with little ones.  Several hours in an airport, on a plane, in a car, and sleeping in various locations isn't what we'd call a relaxing vacation.  Those are the breaks when we live far from family, right?

Sooo...

we are staying home for Christmas!

It'll be weird just our little family, but I'm kind of looking forward to it.
