Thanksgiving

So the rest of my family came out the day before Thanksgiving to spend more time with Shaun and celebrate with more family. Brad and I actually had Thanksgiving with his side of the family this year and left shortly after picking Meggy and Dad up at the airport and Zac went to California with his fiancĂ©, Karlie. We felt kinda bad, but they will all be back for us to celebrate Christmas together :)
Thanksgiving was great! We LOVE spending time with our Marsh family and are so grateful we were able to make it happen this Thanksgiving. We went down to Grandma and Grandpa Marsh's place in St. George and spent it with Brad's family and a few more of the cousins and aunts and uncles from the Marsh side. We enjoyed playing card games (of course) watching some fun shows, getting some shopping done, and going to see a movie. It was great just to spend time with a bunch of them and look forward to seeing all of them again this Summer!
The day we left, we also went to an extended family gathering with Grandpa Marsh's brothers and their families. It was fun get meet more family and be reacquainted with family that we had already met. I LOVE family so much!
We were so sad to leave, but had to get back to work on lessons we needed to prepare and finally be all together as a the Baxter family for one night before my mom, dad, and Meggy headed back to NC. We spent the night snacking and watching some of our recently edited family videos - man those were real treats! I can't believe how funny we thought we were. We had a lot of laughs and both Brad and Karlie officially have the worst blackmail at their fingertips if we ever give them reason to use it ;)
We were sad to see half of the family go, but look forward to seeing them this next week for Christmas all together and the wedding in January. YAY!
Unfortunately I don't think I have any awesome pics of Thanksgiving, but I will share what I have.
