Thanksgiving Weekend

My family came to AZ for Thanksgiving this year. It was so much fun! We spent most of the day hanging out and eating with Jake's family, and then we went to Tucson for the weekend to visit my cousins down there. I love having my family in my home, and I love all the crazy games we play and the inside jokes we have. I didn't get any pictures from Thanksgiving dinner but here are some highlights from the rest of the week.

This was my dad's first time playing Mario Kart Wii. He did really well! I love Jack's face in this picture. And Carson is so talented that he can play and text at the same time :)

My momma and baby Kate.

We visited this really cool old mission south of Tucson called Tumacacori.

Yes, we're sisters.

Remember that cool game where the fish spin around and open and close their mouths and you try to catch them? Well we played it. And I was pretty much awful. Krista won but she totally cheated!

My favorite part of the weekend was going on a walk one morning with my parents and my aunt Clarinda. My dad and I were wearing shorts and t-shirts, we passed an old couple who were adorned in coats, hats, and gloves. They thought we were from Alaska :)

I love these trees! I call them Dr. Seuss trees because they are so crazy and fun, they look like they came out a Dr. Seuss book. They look fuzzy and charming from far away but they're actually pretty spiky, they might be some sort of cactus. Every time I go to Tucson I want to take a picture of these guys and I finally did. My parents were fascinated by some of the desert plants we have down here, especially the huge Saguaro cacti.
