Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful, but quick, Thanksgiving trip to see Bill's eldest sister, Jacque & family and G & G Whitaker in Utah. Since it is the season of giving thanks, I won't complain too much that we could only leave late Wednesday evening and had to come home Friday afternoon so Bill could get back to work. We are definitely grateful for his job and everything it provides for us!

The boys had a ball playing with their Aunt Jacque, cousins, Erin, Holly and Chance and Grandpa & Grandma.

Making turkey hats

We caught Daniel with a mouthful of dog food a couple of times before moving it outside. He even got through the dog door once, but finally let it go. Poor Pepper got more attention than she probably wanted!

We had a lovely dinner and I even got to do a little Black Friday shopping with Jacque the next morning. Then we met Melinda, Carrie and their families for lunch in Bountiful before hitting the road back to Idaho. (My spare camera gave up too so I don't have pictures)

We had a great time and have so much to be grateful for. Happy Thanksgiving!

Festive Family Night

This afternoon we got ready for the holidays by making a little hand print turkey:

Sam was a little hesitant to get his hands all messy at first, but after the third hand print, he really enjoyed it. He especially love the googly eyes.

The boys and I drove downtown to meet Bill for the lighting of the Christmas tree at the state capitol. In my haste to get everyone and everything in the car, I dropped my camera on the kitchen tile. It's definitely not working right, but since my old camera wasn't charged, it's all I had and this is the best picture could get.

Sam and Daniel were fascinated by all of the lights. It was a great way to kick off the holiday season!

He IS listening in church!

Sam found my baster in the kitchen today and was walking around the house using it as a microphone saying, "Brothers and sisters...".

Daniel cannot be left unattended! I turned around for a second to pick up some toys and turned around to see him here. Yikes!!
