Thanksgiving and a Birthday

I know that I am way behind on the blogging, so I thought I would do a couple make-up posts, starting with Thanksgiving....

We spent the week of Thanksgiving in Vegas, where it was nice and warm...even getting up into the 70's.  The girls were in heaven and played outside LOTS.  Chandra came down with Nicole and Josh (we actually drove down the Saturday before Turkey day for an extra long week) and she spent most of the week with us.  Chris was super busy working on a couple of school projects, but he did find some time to play with us.  The whole Bunker clan visited the Springs Preserve, a natural museum of sorts one day and later Dad B. took us big kids to Fremont Street....the original Vegas strip.

Thanksgiving day was fun.  We played some basketball in the morning, baked pies, ate yummy food and went to see a movie.  Chris photographed a wedding the day after Thanksgiving and since there were plenty of babysitters, I got to tag-a-long and help.  My favorite day during the break was when we all went outside to play a little croquet and bocce ball.  Chris won croquet, but Josh and I creamed everyone in bocce ball!

And finally, on Sunday, Chris turned 30!  Unfortunately, we had to make the long drive back to Provo on his birthday, but I think the day still turned out well, especially since it included some presents and pumpkin sheet cake.





 As I said before, the girls loved, loved, loved being outside.  Running, jumping on the tramp, going for walks, collecting pinecones, whatever.  Oh, and playing with Cazador of course.  Ellie even enjoyed the occasional snuggle with him.

Josh just relaxing.  Can you guess who he cheers for?

Dad measuring......not that we were competitive at all :)


Kylie was super excited that she got to pick out a balloon for Daddy!

For Chris's main gift I put together a basket full (more like overflowing) with 30 of Chris's favorites!

He got some clothes as well!

A close-up of his "basket of favorite things"  Hopefully those snacks will last him a while!
Happy 30th Chris/Daddy.  We sure do love you!
