The McGill Family: Family, Food and Fun-Thankful for Thanksgiving!!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. We have so many things to be truly thankful for! We were able to celebrate the holiday with my mom, step-dad, and brother this year. They flew in late on Tuesday and stayed until Saturday night. Tiernan was so excited for them to come and visit. I let him stay up and come to the airport. He couldn't stop talking about the planes and staying up late. My family got in a little early and we happened to just bump into them. Tiernan played shy for about 30 seconds and then couldn't get enough hugs and kisses from grandma!

We had a good mix of laying low at the house and finding things to in our busy city. We started out the holiday by heading to Valley of Fire to do a little sight-seeing and walking. Tiernan and Ireland were more than happy to watch for critters, climb rocks and dig in the warm sand. We also spent some time exploring the little "Ghost Town" of Bonnie Springs. Jim got to see the "wild" burros and the kids had a blast riding the train and exploring the petting zoo. The last of our out and about adventures was to spend a little time on the strip enjoying the lights, decorations and a nice meal out. Unfortunately it was all over in the blink of an eye. We are all looking forward to our next visit. Tiernan keeps talking about how he is going to fly on a plane to go see his grandma...
