Thanksgiving Week 2021--So Grateful!

TUESDAY, Nov. 23 - We flew the whole family to Idaho to be together at Thanksgiving. Our travel group consisted of Garrett's fam, and Grayson and Caroline from the SLC airport. Hillary's family flew in from Vegas a couple hours later. We headed straight for Hailey's house in Post Falls after we arrived for dinner.

WEDNESDAY, Nov. 24 - Swimming and hot tubbing at the hotel, pedicures and manicures for all the girls and a Santa Cruise that evening on Lake Couer d'Alene with lots of lights and fireworks. Dinner at Elmer's before bed.

THURSDAY, Nov. 25 - Turkey Gobbler 5K for John, Hillary, Julia and Hailey while the rest of us ate numerous breakfasts. Swimming til the girls got tired. The guys had James Bond movie day at the theater and then we took quick family pictures at the Couer d'Alene resort and enjoyed Thanksgiving Dinner at Dockside Restaurant.

FRIDAY - Scarlett Renee's Blessing Day! We felt so blessed to have our whole family together to participate in this special day. After the blessing we all went our separate ways back to our homes and the Coffey's went to Seattle for a couple of days since they were so close and had never been there. Grateful for a wonderful week with family and cherished memories.

Hillary's Birthday at the Happiest Place on Earth!

Hillary turned 30 on Thursday, Nov. 18 and we thought it would be fun to celebrate BIG for her big number this year! We flew to California and Hillary's family drove from Vegas, arriving Thursday evening on her birthday. We went to dinner at Ruby's Diner--one of her favorite places and stayed overnight at a hotel close to Disneyland.

Bright and early Friday morning we ate a quick breakfast and walked to the theme parks. We had a fabulous day and the kids had so much fun. It's great to relive the excitement of Disneyland through the eyes of a two-year-old again...

On Saturday before we flew home, we were able to hang out at Newport Beach, grab lunch at Great Mex in Balboa (another Hillary fav) and play at the beachfront park for a couple hours. Sure had a fun couple of days celebrating!
