A Worthen Thanksgiving

We had such a fun Thanksgiving this year. We didn't have to travel far as Arizona this year - our Thanksgiving  was hosted by my brother Tom in Spanish Fork. It was so nice to not have to drive too long.

It was really special to have my grandparents come and share the day. I just love these two! They are so loving and such wonderful people. We really are lucky to have them in our lives.

Karlee thought she was so big - sitting with all the other "big girls" for the Thanksgiving dinner. It must have helped cause she actually  ate all the food on her plate. (which is very rare.haha).

What Thanksgiving is complete without a little game of pig skin. Austin, Teni, and Trenton with their dads, and Rob was the Referree. The weather was BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Little bit of Football.

We missed my mom this year as she was up with my sister Kaye who had just had twin boys a week earlier. So in the evening we connected with her, my sister Kaye and her family up in Alaska via skype. (Technology is amazing). The girls just loved it - they were able to visit with Malia and Tyler.

Here are the newest additions to the Worthen family. Brayden and Colton Tuia. They are seriously so darn cute! I hate that we live so far away, I would love to be able to help my sister out and just hold them all day long.

 Happy Thanksgiving!

Disney On Ice



Disney On Ice 2011

We suprised Karlee with tickets to Disney On Ice. She was really excited. Rob came home early from work, and off we went. We asked Karlee if she would ever like to see meet Mickey Mouse or Minnie Mouse and she of course said Yes! We told her in the car that we were going to go and see Mickey Mouse, Rapunzel and Flyn Rider - Honestly I don't know who was more excited us or Karlee. We got there early and gave Karlee a little stuffed Mickey and Minnie - she thought that was FANTASTIC. She didn't let go for the whole night.



Karlee loves her Mickey and Minnie!

Speaking of Mickey and Minnie, they were the first two who skated out onto the ice. Karlee started jumping up and down, she was just so so excited. She was holding out her new stuffed Mickey and Minnie to show them off. it was super cute!

 The Show was amazing! They did Alice in Wonderland, Lion King, Peter Pan and Tinkerbell, Aladdin, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, The Princess and the Frog, and Finally Tangled! During the intermission we got a quick family picture. We were having such a fun time. 

Karlee's Highlight of the night was when Rapunzel came out on the ice. Infact you could hear a gasp come over the whole audience when we all heard the music. Watching Karlee's face shine brought a couple tears of joy to my eyes. She was totally entranced.

At the end of the show all the Disney Princesses and Princes all skated out onto the ice. It was fun to see them all, as they were not all in the show. Karlee could recognize most of them. We had such a good time and think that we would like to go again another year. We highly recommend making this something on your family "To Do" list.
