Another *quick* holiday recap.

Thanksgiving 2022

^^ Favorite meal of the year.

We ate, we joked, we played, we left feeling full and thankful.

Godzilla + Skye

 For the sake of catching up, here's a quick Halloween 2022 run down.

We went trick-or-treating in my parents neighborhood. Emmett was very particular about the candy he wanted, so he ended the night with a kit kat or two in hand haha. Brielle carried us this year with the candy collecting. YOU GO GIRL.

The fruit skewers were my contribution to our halloween-themed family dinner.

My mom goes into more detail about that and other halloween festivities here.

Emmett had a preschool halloween party.

I owe a huge thank you to my mom for helping out with Emmett's costume. He was dead set on being godzilla for halloween, but there just aren't any cute, reasonably priced godzilla costumes out there. I found this raptor blue costume and figured it miiiight look like godzilla if we added some blue spikes. I wasn't very confident with my abilities to do that, but my mom worked her magic and brought the vision to life! The end result made Emmett soooo happy. Cutest godzilla ever!!

Bryce Canyon

Yet another trip I wasn't planning on getting around to documenting, but as I was looking through pictures I realized I had too many that I didn't want to get lost in the thousands of photos on my phone. So here we are! The day after Mauri's wedding we made our way down to Bryce Canyon with the Paull side of the family. Brent and Jackie rented a cabin in the mountains for us all to stay at. It was so beautiful and such a good time. The kids were in heaven exploring and playing with their cousins all weekend long.

My favorite part of the trip was hiking Bryce Canyon. It was stunning and pictures don't do it justice. I want to go back one of these days to do the full hike without kids in tow haha. We carried Brielle the entire way which was definitely an arm workout!

We stopped at multiple lookouts and took Emmett on a lift ride. He LOVED it.

It was the best time. We're so grateful for Brent and Jackie for making this trip happen! We're going on another cabin trip near Zion's National Park in a few months and this time Matt and his family will be joining, along with two more babies! So crazy to think!! It'll be so fun for all the brothers and cousins to be together.

We drove by this pretty place on our way home..

while Emmett quietly entertained himself in the back haha. Love that kid.
