Thanksgiving 2015

I was kind of lame and didn't take any pictures at Thanksgiving this year except a few... Here are the missionaries from this year


We had a nerf gun war with the whole family... it was hilarious and fun!  We had Thanksgiving at doTERRA because we dont fit anywhere else. We had a huge dinner, a talent show and nerf gun wars, also the Christmas gift exchange.

Me Katie and Lindsey tried to start the day out right with a Turkey Trot of our own.
A couple of days after Thanksgiving Carol took us all to Walmart where we could each pick out a family gift from her :) It was lots of fun!

Lindsey goes through the temple and has a birthday!

Lindsey went through the temple for her own endowment on Nov. 14, 2015 in preparation for her mission. It was an awesome night. Matt and Casey were able to join us and we were so grateful to be in the temple with our sweet kids. Casey has more photos on her camera, I need to get them from her!



I love this girl so so much!

THEN SHE turned 19 on December 8, 2015!
We went to dinner with the whole family at PF Changs. She got mainly mission stuff.. .it was a little bit of a  bummer birthday because she was sick and in the middle of finals at BYU :/

HAWAII!!

So... we were SUPER spoiled and got to go to Hawaii (Maui) with Debbie, Rob, Cosi, Mark, Cheri and Bry! We planned it six months in advance and it was AWESOME! So much fun!

On the plane~ so excited to get outta here!! :)


 The trip was full of lots of fun and excitement! We stayed in a gorgeous house in Wailea and did lots of fun stuff. We did an awesome hike the first day over lots of rocks (I was still in an ankle brace so it was a little rough), through trees, up a ladder, over a waterfall, swimming through pools. It was awesome! Then we had a day at the beach snorkeling and swimming, lots and lots of trips to an awesome little restaurant called "Coconuts" tons of fish tacos that were delicious, another hike over a lava field to a beautiful coast - a bit dissapointing when we couldn't get in because the tide was too high, up to the huge volcano, it was freezing there! but you could see the big island from the top, then another hike to a beautiful canyon, we got to see the first church in Maui on Sunday, lots of movie watching and running/walking. Key lime pie, playing pirate dice,  a delicious expensive divine restaurant called Mamas fish house... it was great, shave ice, paddle boarding, boogie boarding etc.. etc.. fun times! It is SO beautiful there! Hawaii is truly paradise!
Mark and Cosi We Love them so much!
