Marcia's Birthday


For Thanksgiving this year every one came to town. Every one (except 1 nephew who was working for Black Friday) was able to come to Walt and Marcia's house. Apparently I didn't take pictures, I found these on my old phone, woops.  I'm so grateful for the family I was given on this earth. Life is hard and they make things so much better. I sure love my family.
The morning of Thanksgiving started off with a little game of soccer. I slept in and only saw the last part of the game. It was really cold so my nephew, Ben and I went to the store for some much needed treats. 
For thanksgiving dinner, we had the most delicious meal. Every one cooked something and at the end, we had so much delicious food. It was a great meal and it was even better being surrounded by family.

 
 We took some pictures after dinner, this was my favorite. Every one being, you know, themselves :)
 Selfie time! I have the best sister in laws!



The next day, all the kids had planned a surprise birthday party for Marcia since every one was in town. It was her 60th birthday bash so we wanted to make it special. We secretly invited all of her friends, got a taco man, man a photo booth, and had a piƱata and games. It was a blast! She was totally surprised also, which was amazing considering there are a lot of us that were keeping the secret. It was such a fun night!




One of the presents we got her was a book. All of the kids wrote about a memory with their mom and something they had learned from her. She loved it so much it brought her to tears (and us too) Another great surprise for the night



So much fun celebrating my amazing mother in law.
I made a youtube video of the party. It was such a great night, I wanted to make sure I always remembered that great night we all gathered together to celebrate, mom.
 
 
The next day we went and took family pictures at the temple.

Sisters!
My sister in laws are SO cute!
The boys
It was such a great week. That week I also started working as a nurse. It was an exciting week for sure!
