Tim and I made a last minute decision to drive to Arizona for Thanksgiving. Even though we had to turn around and come back in 2 short days, it was worth the drive. Here are some pictures of our wonderful family!
It was a very pretty drive…It rained off and on (which made the desert air smell delicious), and love was in the air. Get it? I found a heart in the clouds…Love is in the air? I crack myself up.
The clouds were creeping over the top of the mountain, and it was pretty radical.
Some of the cousins before our Thanksgiving lunch….and before the little soccer game that reminded some of us (me) that we need to start working out again. 
Here I am leaning over because I feel too tall and monstrous next to my beautiful sister-in-law.
We always have lots and lots of these pictures. And, it’s very common for people to be patting each other’s bottoms- like Elaine and Amy here. Very common- this is the family I married into.
We went for a walk and spotted Elaine street. Good thing we always have cameras with us for these types of emergencies.
Hmm…this pose looks familiar…
Nobody told Aunt Patty that we weren’t being silly anymore.
Ah, here we go. Saying our goodbyes before we got back on the road again.
Tim and Elaine with Grandma Betty. She showed us lots and lots of good old pictures, and Elaine tried to quiz her on dates and everyone’s ages.
Tim and me with Grandma Betty. I love her pretty white hair…mine will probably never look like that.
Our trip was short, but sweet. We love our family!

I enjoyed your blog and it IS an amazing family. That crazy photo of Patty needs to be on the Galley site too! We’ll have fun with it there.
