For Thanksgiving this year we spent time with the Holladay Family in Show Low. We had a wonderful time up there with everyone.

We celebrated Thanksgiving on Friday with a delicious feast, games and a movie. DQ was also being remodeled so we helped a little that too. Colby absolutely LOVED the snow. He told all sorts of people before heading to Show Low that "We are going to Show Low for Thanksgiving and there is going to be snow there!" - Colby. We were surprised that he actual snowed on Thanksgiving and the following Sunday. There was plenty of snow for him to play in.

My mom's side of the family has played games ("Olympics") for the past 2 Thanksgivings so we decided to have some fun with the Holladays and play our own version of these games. We called them the "tri-thanks-alon", since Bryan's parents are just starting to do triathlons lately. We thought it was a fun way to do things as a family.

Thanksgiving
Beautiful Fall
In November, we enjoyed a lot of time outdoors as a family. Arizona has some of the most beautiful weather in the fall. We wait all summer long for nice weather like this!

Riding the train
Colby finally decided on his own that he was brave enough to ride a bike without training wheels. When he decided there was no holding him back. He was awesome! He had no trouble at all especially since it was his idea. He didn't even crash.
First time riding a bike without training wheels!
This video is of Colby riding his bike (skip ahead to 15seconds...it took him a little bit to get started)
Carson at 10 months, now says a few words "Dada, mama, ba" and the latest "uh-oh." The video is of him saying uh-oh. He has also started to stand without holding onto anything for a few seconds, and over Thanksgiving he even took a couple of steps a few times. We hope he will hold off on walking for a little bit longer, but it is pretty cute.
