Thankgiving

This Thanksgiving, Tyler and I took a road trip to Arizona to spend the holiday with the Leone's-my dad's side of the family. This is the first holiday I've spent with them probably since I was 6 years old. I had such a great time getting to know them and going through A LOT of photos. The weekend was full of a lot of fun get-togethers and just relaxing quality time with the fam.

The next day we all had lunch and spent some quality time at the Grandparents house.






Tyler and I were excited to see the lemon tree, and Grandpa insisted that we take some photos with it. With Michael at the camera we posed, and posed, and posed for photos with lemons. Grandpa was so cute.






Grandpa looks so Italian here.

Grandpa Leone is a councilman for Peoria City. He just won his 4th time running so we celebrated that evening at a party thrown just for him. Congrats Grandpa!




My cousin Michael, his wife Brandi, and 2 of their 3 kids-Derek and Ciara. They were so much fun.




My cousin Kevin's wife makes the cutest cupcakes! They were also so yummy.

A family photo, missing a few of course.
