Thanksgiving and Family Pictures

While we were in Utah, we decided it would be nice to spend the holiday with family. Since Jordon and Liana were gonna be able to come down to Tooele, it worked out to have dinner at Liana's parent's house. Also, as an added bonus, Grammy and Pappa Marquis were able to come down for the weekend too! It was very nice of Charlene and Gary to open their house up to us so we could all be together. We appreciate it! Cache got to play with his cousin Ethan and we all got to enjoy some good food! Here are the pictures!

The awesome bridge that started out as my idea, but ended up in the hands of the toy experts...Jared and Jordon

Turkey!

The day after Thanksgiving, people just kind of did their own thing for a little while, but then came family pictures. The lighting was a little off at times, but who can control the clouds. ;) Here are the pictures. It was a little frustrating for the little ones because it was so close to nap time, but we got a few good ones in. 

I just had to put this one here...when the sun hit my sparkly shirt just right, I turned into a disco ball...lol

Aaaaaaannnnndddd.....nap time lol

 

And it always seems that right when we are about to leave somewhere, Cache is finally warming up to everything and starting to really have fun. It would be nice to one day have more time for him and his cousin to spend more time together. Right before we were ready to leave, Ethan thought it would be fun to throw pillows over the loft railing into the entry room below. In fact, he thought it was so much fun, that when he ran out of pillows, he started on the laundry that was up there…both folded and unfolded. Oh boy, did Cache ever think this was fun! He was trying so hard to reach over that banister…until he figured out he could just shove clothes through it! They had their fun and it was raining clothes. When it was time to go, I asked Jared to go up and get Cache...but what actually happens? Jared is now holding Cache, helping him get things over the railing. To make it funnier, now we have a train going of Ethan handing things to Cache and Cache delightfully throwing them off the balcony…with Jared’s help. It was really a good sight to see…but they weren’t my clothes to clean up either. Thanks Jordon and Liana! ;)

the two culprits

And their ally!!
