HaPpY ThAnKsGiViNg!

This Thanksgiving was very special!! We drove 14 hours to my hometown of Deming, New Mexico to see mi familia! We haven't been back since My dad's wedding 8 years ago. CRAZY! 8 years? Wowza! It was so good to be back to see my family and remember all the fun things we did as little monsters! So many things were different tho as well and it was weird!! Here's a little look at our Thanksgiving! Maybe you'll understand me better when you see a little more of my roots!

Ah, I'm home!! I was like a kid on Christmas when we drove under our sign and onto the ranch! Yay!
We had many ping pong battles, and Greg walked away victorious as usual! That's my ping pong champion!

The kids loved Aunt Lisa. Here's Aunt Lisa helping Ashy crochet a scarf. The yellow one she's working on was made for Ethan. He loves it!

As usual, the missionaries came over. Ethan was so excited to get to talk to them!
My bro Joseph, me, Tinabop and Karina!
The line for Dinner! Yes, it is Ginormous! We had a couple of turkeys and over a dozen pies. That's how we like it! Jam packed! And to think we were still missing quite a few Nicolls!
Ethan getting anxious for his food.
The Chefs, Dad and Krisite! The yummiest turkey ever!! oh my I want to just jump in and eat some now!
More Sistas! Christina, Lauren, Cheri and me. I loved seeing Lauren & Cheri. I haven't seen them in years so this was very special!
Ashy loved playing with all the animals. Here's a baby duck.

Here's Uncle Jason working in his (small) Greenhouse! This place was amazing! I was very impressed !
The kids loved running through the rows of tomatoes! ( this pic was taken in the large greenhouse)

The kids fell in love with Uncle Elis Chihuahua puppies!

They played outside with the puppies more than they were inside!
They loved helping my cousin collect eggs every morning.
They loved feeding the chickens and the chicks.

My love!

One of my most favorite people in the world! My Grandma Vivian. I love you Grami!

These next pictures need a little explaining. When we were little my aunts used to dress all us grandkids up in old prom dresses, well...anything really that was lying around. We used to put on fashion shows for the whole family with tickets, programs, the whole shebang. This year was no exception! All the grand and great grand kids dressed up. I only have a few pics but the fashion show was long and crazy!!!

Of course Aunt Molli dressed up. For real, where in the world did this come from? hahahaha!

Kiko!

Karina helping Tyson on the catwalk!!

As you can see us Nicolls can have fun and don't care how silly we look! We just love being together!

Grami making her famous fudge! Look how patient she is!

Hope everyone had as happy Thanksgiving as we did!
