Hermana Bennett Returns

At 7pm Hermana Bennett will make her anxiously awaited return home from her 18 month mission in Spain. I am so excited for her to meet Anna for the first time. Anna was born right after Megan left on her mission. I know they will get along so well. Anna loves all her aunts and I know Megan will be no exception. I am so proud she served an honorable full time mission and I am even more excited to see what her post mission adventures hold. Welcome home!

Thankful for Family

Sushi Part 2

Sushi Night

I am just kicking myself for not getting a  picture of the amazing sushi or the sushi chef! Bre did such an amazing job pulling this together and making the best home made sushi I have ever had. I'm drooling just thinking about it! Can't wait to do it again soon!
Later that night, two of Anna's favorite people showed up. Brett and Erica arrived with all sorts of Thanksgiving gifts for Anna, one of which she had Grandpa read to her right away. 

Boondocks

The Tuesday before Thanksgiving we had a cousin get together at Boondocks. Anna and I met up with Paige, Bre, Chase, Cameron, Serene, Dillon, Jessica, Kai, Carly, Amon, and Sydney. We enjoyed taking Anna around the arcade to win some tickets. She was more interested in stealing the balls and tokens then pulling out the tickets, We were so delighted that the employee on duty let us take Anna to play lazer tag. He made us all swear not to run, so we crossed our fingers, and took turns using Anna as a shield so we could destroy the other team. Not only did we outnumber them by 50% we also had a human shield. We play to win. Again, Anna was way more interested in the fluorescent dog then the game but I sure had fun toting her about.

Thanksgiving

You can never go wrong when there is food and family. The Papenfuss's are never short on food and its pretty hard not to enjoy this goofy bunch. Double win. Thanksgiving was so good to us, even with a no-nap baby who loved escaping, playing with the forbidden microwave, and eating off anyone's plate but her own. I am truly grateful for the Papenfuss family and am honored to be a part of this fabulous group. Happy Thanksgiving.
