Thanksgiving 2011

I know this is a little backwards but I wanted to post on this year's Thanksgiving.


We all traveled to Arizona to be with the Wood side this year. It was a week full of family time and laughter. We love our family and being able to see everyone all at once was unforgettable. We road down with Connor, Gabe, Kara, Craig, and Ruby. McCoy and Ruby love each other and that was made known to us even more on this trip. They play so well together so it made breaks that much funner for the two of them. McCoy did well on the trip. It was full of movies....lots of movies. These are some of the many stops we made. The kiddos enjoyed the much needed rest stops each time. 


We made one stop at the dam near Lake Powell. McCoy and Ruby loved being able to play in the sand. They loved it so much they even ended up swimming in a pit full of it. Even though there was red sand in every place possible, Kara and I were happy they were enjoying themselves. (Link Below)

We loved being in the nice warm weather. McCoy especially. He loves, more than anything, to run and play outside. Also, Mesa has a ton of rocks everywhere. Since it's so warm and dry there they have rocks for the lawn instead of grass. As you can guess McCoy loved this...he LOVES rocks. Once we combined all the things that McCoy loves-Ruby, rocks, and outside activities- we've got ourselves a happy boy McCoy...He loved every minute of it.

Here McCoy is watching the boys play some Thanksgiving Flag Football (Dad was the Quarterback.) He's sitting on Grandpa's lap and eating a Rice-Crispy Squares...so priceless.

 One of the days, Trev's Uncle Van planned this whole Family BBQ that was awesome! He did such an amazing job at creating activities for everyone to enjoy. He rented this "Little Kiddos" Bounce house and it was filled with yet another one of McCoy's favorites...balls. He couldn't get enough of it. By the end I was tempted to go purchase one for his bedroom. (Link Below)

Here's a shot of McCoy and Dad sharing suckers at one of the family gatherings. If you notice, McCoy is feeding himself a sucker and feeding the other to dad at the same time. 

 The house that Keith and Kim rented for all of us to stay in was so beautiful. It was also huge and there was plenty of room for McCoy and Ruby to get into mischief. One afternoon Kara and I found both of them playing in the tub...fully clothed and thank goodness, there was no water. Grandpa came in and turned "UP" on for them and soon enough both of them stopped in there footsteps and got comfortable.

I can't help but to just love these two together. They play so well and I love that they love each other.

Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for the awesome week Keith, Kim, and all the Wood Family!
