Thanksgiving Time of Year!

We had Thanksgiving at Aunt Denise's new house this year! It was great, there was tons of space, and lots of family to play with. And of course lots and lots of yummy food!
Nancy brought crafts for the kids, they all got to make crowns Taylor had fun making his!
Easton and Hayleigh were tuckered out after playing hard with his cousins and filling their tummies with yummy food!
Relaxing at grandma and grandpa Knight's house
and enjoying delicious root beer floats!
Disney On Ice
Grandpa Knight bought tickets for the whole family to go to Disney on Ice!
Taylor thought he was to cool for school and said it was more for the little kids, but he enjoyed parts!
after the show we walked over to the planetarium so the kids could check out the cool science gadgets!
Then we went and met up with Amy at subway for some dinner!
Ice Skating!
We went with the cousins to ice skate one evening and the kids LOVED it! Jordynn and Aubrey were great with Hayleigh and playing with her on the ice!
Katie and Jake were having fun too!
Taking a break!
Macy, Sadie and Taylor taking a little rest!
Easton was loving that he could do it all by himself with his trainer! It was a blast and the kids having been begging ever since to go back!
Pirate Island Pizza!
Then one night of thanksgiving break we headed over to Pirate Island with Jordy and Sadie for a night of food fun and karaoke! The kids got up and sang and everything! It was a fun night!
We had a great time this Thanksgiving break, and had so much to be grateful for! We are most thankful for all our family and friends that we get to live so close to and have the privilege of spending so much fun time with!

A Very Special Day

We are so proud of our Taylor and the choice he made to be baptized. It was such a special day. He was looking forward to it for a long time! He was a little nervous that morning but he was ready and so excited for his big day! We got up and ready and headed over to the church to get ready!
He was so grateful that his daddy baptized him. Jeff was honored that he had the opportunity to share this wonderful occasion with his son! It was a day full of the spirit and emotion! Taylor was a sweetie and very emotional with all the big steps he was taking in his life! The program was wonderful. He had the baptism all to himself so he had the privilege of having talks from both of his grandma's! Jeff also confirmed him a member off the church and gave him the gift of the holy ghost! It was such a wonderful experience as a mom to watch my son make such good choices and be filled with the spirit so strongly!
After the baptism we headed over to our house with lots of friends and family to eat and celebrate Taylor and his special day!
A picture of my cute family, so proud of our little man!
Here are some pictures of loved ones that came to support Taylor!
Thank you to everyone who came to watch Taylor be baptized and become a member of our church! He felt so loved and supported by you all. We are so grateful that we could share this special day with so many people we love!
