A Bear Lake Thanksgiving

We headed up to Bear Lake this Thanksgiving, and it was so fun. Nathan's aunt Melanie just finished remodeling her cabin on the lake, and it was so beautiful! They put windows everywhere - any direction you looked was gorgeous lake views. It was so fun to literally hang out in Pajamas with family for about 3 days straight (ok I got ready on one day:). Nathan's aunt Jan and her boys came up, along with his uncle Brad and his kids, and Keith, Leslie & Grammy. Becca followed Mckenna (Melanie & Mike's daughter) around all day. If Mckenna wasn't to be found, Becca would call up and down the halls with her hands on her hip "Kenna where are you?" Rachel trailed shortly behind them, wanting to be a part of the big girl activities ;). Thanksgiving was incredible! We had about 3 chefs in the kitchen cooking up a storm. I made the turkey, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce and corn pudding, I LOVE making Thanksgiving dinner. Brad also brought a turkey and deep fried it! Yummy! I had to watch how it was done, so I followed him down to the beach and took mental notes :) We had a couple of movie nights and had a double feature of Christmas movies one night...."Christmas Vacation" and "Elf". We played games, and watched the BYU vs Utah game. We also celebrated Nathan's 28th Birthday!! Thanks again Mike and Melanie for a great weekend!
