A Vegas Thanksgiving

 

I live in Utah. I always host Thanksgiving- which I do love- but as most of you may know, hosting Thanksgiving consists of countless hours of preparation, shopping, cooking, decorating- more cooking, and then... the day comes, and its gobbled up in about 10 minutes. I am now tired just writing about it!

This year.. my baby sister got married = her turn to host!

All the fam drove to Vegas where she is living with her new husband. 

Kelene dances for Donny & Marie at the Flamingo. I have seen this show a handful of times. My little 8 year old, Noah, wanted to see it- and surprisingly, he loved it!

*off subject* I love Michael Jackson. Great little piece of trivia here: Puppy Love was intended for Michael Jackson, not Donny! RIP Michael.

Any Dancing with the Stars fanatics out there? If you go to the Donny and Marie Las Vegas show- you will find Donny's mirror-ball trophy from his 9th season win. Marie was on DWTS the year before, received 3rd place. Her glass case shows off her doll. :)

There were 13 of us in my little sisters apartment for Thanksgiving Dinner- being "together" with family was an understatement!

The little boys wrestle, little girls color & the big boys show off their bellies... wow.

*off subject* My Mother has come to "expect" a year in review photo book each Christmas- it just adds to the stress, but somehow I get er done. The first one I gave her she cried tears of joy, now I am just in trouble if its not under the tree.

I took little Jaycee's photo from above and created this 10x10 layout for the 2010 G'ma Photo Book.  I am only half way done- argh. I am using Cinzia Loosemore's Grateful Heart layered 12x12 Album this year- love it.

After creating this Thanksgiving word-overlay, I figured, I may as well let you all download it!

You can download the overlay for free HERE.

Hope you had happy thanksgiving all over the world!
