Thanksgiving and the Nutcracker

Thanksgiving is a hard holiday for me. It is only a few weeks away from Christmas so for the past few years we have just stayed in Las Vegas and celebrated with our little family. We always enjoy our time together, but part of me misses the extended family get-togethers. This year, at the last minutes, we decided to load up in the van on Thanksgiving morning and made it to Logan right in time for Thanksgiving dinner with the Harris side. We ate breakfast and lunch in the car and only stopped for a quick potty break. Grandma and Grandpa Harper were there too so it was nice to visit with them. The food was delicious and, even though many of the siblings and their families were missing, we still had a great time. Aaron's sisters are really great ballet dancers and are in the Nutcracker every year. The kids really enjoyed getting to see their performance and seeing their costumes and make-up up close back stage after the show.
