Thanksgiving, Grand Canyon & North Pole Experience

Image
I hope you had an amazing Thanksgiving! We had an awesome trip to Flagstaff with some other transplants who have a 3 and 5-year-old. We enjoyed an air BNB with a firepit and hot tub. Thursday we hung out and made a full meal, Friday we ventured to the canyon and Saturday we did the North Pole Experience to see Santa. It was A+. Just check out how Zoe felt about it :) (hilarious memory!), but honestly, it was a fabulous event. We are so so busy but with mostly good things. We did get our decorations up for Christmas though so we could enjoy it before we head to the great white north! Happy Christmas season everyone ... and like Gavin told his friends "guys...it isn't all about presents, it is about Christmas spirit!" :) (yes, we are doing something right!). XO

Two big celebrations

This last weekend our families celebrated two unprecedented milestones. G&G Macocha celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary on Saturday while Stefan's great Auntie Bette celebrated her 100th birthday! Unfortunately, we couldn't attend both, so huge thanks to Stefan for staying in Phoenix with the kids and sending me to IL/IN to celebrate with the whole Macocha family at a surprise party for the couple. It was truly an amazing celebration of these two special people. The love in the room was palpable, and I'm so grateful for all these two have created and done for our families. I hope everyone in the US has a wonderful Thanksgiving! G&G are certainly two of the things I'm thankful for along with the family they created.
