Thanksgiving in Arizona



Thanksgiving with the Sellers Family!

Back to Blogging! It has been a bit since the last posting . . . but that is because we have been busy having so much fun.

Thanksgiving was spent in beautiful Arizona with Brad's family celebrating two holidays at once while we had everyone together. It was a full house, and a great time to have a lot of fun. Olivia had a blast being around so many little cousins and held her own playing with all the toys at Grandma and Grandpa's house. While in Arizona we celebrated Thanksgiving and had a great meal with all the trimmings!

Thanksgiving fun wasn't done at the end of the meal though . . . that night, in anticipation of all the Black Friday deals, Brad and I went to the Disney Store to get some holiday deals for Olivia's first Christmas. Getting Brad to go to the store at midnight for little disney toys shows REAL love!

Later in the week, on Saturday we had a great get together with all of Brad's cousins and family. It was really cool, . . . a Carnival themed party, music, games, and food, that all the kids and adults alike had fun and games to keep them busy. It was a lot of planning and work, but between Brad's Mom and siblings, everything ran great.

To end the trip, the day that we were flying back to Omaha, . . . Brad's good friend that practices law in Arizona was able to meet him in Phoenix and be his sponsor for admission to the United States District Court in the District of Arizona. It was a proud moment to see Brad sworn in by the Federal Judge (since his admission to Arizona state courts was by letter).

We had a lot of fun, but not a lot of time. Hopefully next trip there will be a lot more time to see friends. We hope that everyone is well and happy!

I guess none of your friends come from big families to now how much fun it is to be all together. And I have to say I really dislike the picture of all the siblings, because I look like I am about to pop being two weeks away from delivery. At least everyone else looks good. And your family picture looks cute.
