Thanksgiving 2011 Park City Utah

What an amazing Thanksgiving! It was very different this year since we didn't have it here in Idaho or in California. Since I'm not the only one that lives in Idaho, we met my family halfway in Utah to spend our Thanksgiving in Park City. We stayed in an amazing cabin style house right next to where we went snowboarding. The room Collin and I had was amazing! It had a fireplace and a huge tub and an open balcony looking out onto the slopes, look at that view!

The first day we were all there together we had lunch and then the girls took off to go shopping and the guys went to go see a man movie together.

Thanksgiving of course was filled with even more family, food and lots of reasons to be thankful. I made some danger banana toffee pie and some chocolate pretzel squares which I think were a big hit with the crowd!

Here are some pictures from our special evening:

and that night before Collin and I went to sleep we read out of our thankful jar. We started it at the beginning of the month and each day we wrote down something we were thankful for. It was a perfect way to end the night by reading them all as a couple.

On Friday Dad and my step-mom Diane took us on an amazing snowmobiling trip (my favorite activity of our trip)! Except for Collin, I think this was every one's first time. Everyone had their own so there was eleven of us on snowmobiles which of course was awesome! A few people got stuck, one got lost, one got flung off and it made the experience that much more fun!

It was absolutely beautiful and so much fun to say the least!

Later on that day we went to Temple Square to see the lights and went to dinner as a family!

Our last day together was snowboarding! This was only my second snowboarding trip ever and it had been 4 years so there were a couple falls but nothing that a jacuzzi couldn't cure that night!

We could've stayed another week, it was so fun. Aside from all the fun activities and the beautiful house we stayed in, nothing comes close to the people the time was spent with :)
