For Thanksgiving this year, we went up and down the length of California! We traveled north to my parent's house for the actual Thanksgiving Day. It was nice to be with family. This was Matt and my first time being at one of our families house's for Thanksgiving! That morning we played soccer and volleyball with my mom, dad, Katie, and Natie. Then we got together with cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandmas and ate a fabulously delicious meal. The next morning we skipped Black Friday shopping to drive to Southern California to spend time with my sisters and Matt's cousins. We were able to see Jennie's new house--it was GORGEOUS! So stylish and nice, and I can't wait to decorate one of the rooms with all of my Xmen action figures! :) We went to the beach, went ice skating, and visited my Grandma's old house. One of the coolest things we saw were 4 or 5 dolphins playing in the waves really close to the shore, about where someone would be getting ready to boogey-board. Brittany, you'll love those!
We then trekked north to visit Matt's cousins who had just returned from Utah. It was lots of fun seeing them. Matt lived with them one summer while we were dating and I stayed with them while visiting Matt and we love visiting them. We ended the Thanksgiving weekend stuck in traffic on a journey that took us 9.5 hours instead of the 7 hours it was supposed to take. But it was fun and worth it all! Thanks Jen, Jan, and Schoessows for letting us stay at your place!

A Wagon Ride in Old town San Diego. Linds got hit on by 2 drunk nasty men...
The Beach in Carlsbad
More lovely beach--and the weather was perfect!
Hopefully you can see the red circles I made to show the dolphins. They are just chillin and playing in the waves!
I can't believe how close to the shore they were!
It was fun to see so many all at once
Old Town San Diego
Ice Skating outside...The sun was shining, and there were puddles everywhere of melted ice. If you fell, you were soaked. One kid tried to trip me!
We got to see the San Diego Temple! One of my favorites. My family took a tour of it before the dedication many years ago!
