Steven's brother Travis was able to come home on an 18-day leave and it happened to include Thanksgiving, so for the second time in a few months we made the trek to St. George. It's feeling shorter every time we go; we've got a regular route now and it can be made in one day if necessary. Having cheap(er) gas again helps a lot, too! We got there at about noon on Thanksgiving day and later that afternoon had a terrific early dinner with most of the family; unfortunately Trevor and Jordan weren't able to make it this year. This time we brought Roxy and she got to play with her new best friend Windsor (she was totally the boss, even though he's twice her size). It was a blast watching them together. :-) On the drive out and back Roxy found a few favorite places to lay in the car once she finally realized that it was going to be a while before she could get out and run around.
We were also able to see Steven's nieces, Mia and Mya, get baptized, as well as celebrate Mia's birthday. It was so great to see the family again, and especially Travis, who we hadn't seen in over 2 years. We can't wait for him to be home for good! Plus we got to meet a lot of Krissy's extended family who came up for Mya's baptism. I didn't take very many pictures on this trip, quite unusual for me, but here are a few to enjoy.

Looks like you guys had a ton of fun. It was a total bummer we were not able to make it. I wish we could have, but school right now is number one priority, if you know what I mean. Hopefully we can plan a trip to come down and see you soon. Trevor and I keep saying we need to come visit and we surely do. We miss you guys.
