Trip to Gilbert for Thanksgiving!

We went to visit our family in Gilbert and Mesa, AZ for Thanksgiving. After 13 hours in the van we finally made it there on Tuesday! Grandma had dinner all ready for us. After we finished Mom went with Grandma and Grandpa to a performance of "From Cumorah's Hill" put on by the youth of Rand and Parker's stake! There were 300 youth on stage singing! They did a great job!

We were able to go watch Rand wrestle. We went to downtown Phoenix. He pinned his opponent! It was so great to be able to see him wrestle!

From there we went to Darla's where she invited all the cousins for a "Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Dinner." They had toast, pretzels, and jelly beans. They had ice cream for dessert! Then they watched the movie! All the kids had a lot of fun! They especially liked hanging out with their cousins!
