I stayed in Denver this year for Thanksgiving. Even though I do enjoy traveling it was rather nice not to go anywhere and instead have people come here. So, thanks Jess, Sean, and kids for making that long drive! Mom had it a little bit easier since she flew in Thanksgiving Day. Then, of course, Jared, Katie and their kids are already here in Denver so we had a pretty decent representation of the Linton clan.
It was great fun to have Jess, Sean, the kiddos and Momisita stay with me. It was quite the full house, but we managed! I loved every second of the time we were able to share together. Aside from eating a delicious meal (thanks Katie for hosting!) we went to Monkey Business, saw the movie, "Tangled", went Black Friday shopping, and hung with Annie and Steve. We baked pies, cheesecakes and rolls- yummy! We also played the Nintendo Wii a lot. It was just fun to be together.
Sean flew back on Friday so he could go to the BYU game the next day. So, Mom rode back with Jess and the kids on Saturday. A huge storm was expected on Sunday, so they left early in order to beat the weather. It was so quiet and lonely at my apartment after they left. So sad! We sure did have a great weekend. I enjoy Thanksgiving and the nice reminder it is to me to recognize the many blessings I have been given. Among the top is definitely my family. I wish all of us could have been together, but it was nice that half of us were together! I love you all! Thanks for coming to my world as Sean so nicely put it.
Here are some pictures from the weekend in no particular order. Fun! Fun!

You had some fun pictures! I wish I would have had some of those. I may have to steal some when I do my book.
Anyway, it was SO much fun to be there for Thanksgiving. You were an amazing host to let us sleep at your apt. and eat your food and mess everything up. I am still amazed how well my kids slept the whole weekend. I hope we can do it again soon.
Loved every minute as well. Can't wait to see you again in a few weeks. HOORAY!
Julie your pies looked amazing!!!
Glad you all got to be together!!!
Loved all the pictures
Hugs
