We had a great Thanksgiving break, relaxing and fun! On Sunday we drove to my aunts house just north of Chicago and met up with my parents there. We went into the city on Monday and went to the top of the Sears Tower and went to a fun house at Navy Pier. Tuesday we drove to the Wisconsin Dells area, where we were joined by my brother and his wife, and stayed at a lodge with three indoor water parks! It was a ton of fun! Late Wednesday night we got back to my aunts house and hurried to get things in order for Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was fun and relaxing. Friday morning we went to the Chicago temple and then drove up to my brother’s house in Wisconsin. We stayed there until after the BYU-Utah game on Saturday. WOW!! What a fun game that was!!! Then we drove back home, about a 7 hour drive. It was a fun break!

The best part of the break was finding out that we are moving to San Diego!!! I was in shock for a few days because I figured we wouldn’t really get that assignment but now it has sunk in and I am so excited!! I just want to spend all day looking at housing online! We are hoping to find a 3-4 bedroom townhouse that maybe has a pool in the complex or something. Fingers crossed!!

The second best part of the break was finding out that we will be able to join everyone for Christmas!!! After planning for a quiet holiday around here it will be a big change to get to join everyone for all the fun!! Ticket options are limited this late in the game so we fly out Sunday, December 17th arriving at 12:45PM and we have to leave on New Year’s Eve at 11:10AM.

We are all doing really well and getting excited for the holidays. We have Christmas and the kids birthdays coming up, plus our anniversary so we are very busy!! Brent, do you have any ideas for what you would like for Christmas? Brooke, do you have any ideas for what Jane might like from Hayden? Adina, I have so many questions for you about things like San Diego, a birthday party, gifts, etc. that I am just going to have to email you separately!

Well, I am now scrambling to get everything done so we will be ready for our great trip! We can’t wait to see everyone, and especially can’t wait to meet those two darling babies!!
