Thanksgiving


I hosted playgroup the week before Thanksgiving and we made these little gems.  What cute little turkeys we have running around!

The Tuesday evening before Thanksgiving, we packed up and headed to my parents house in Salt Lake.  We arrived pretty late and went straight to bed.  The next morning...


...we played Cornhole...



...and croquet...


...and even mowed the lawn.




Since Bill had to work a lot of the day, my parents took us to the new Museum of Natural History.  It is really impressive and the boys had a ball playing in the water and looking at all of the dinosaurs.


Thanksgiving day was gorgeous!  Sam accidentally put on Daniel's clothes (and the pants on backward), but after we got him straightened out, it was a great day with my brothers, Dave and Dan with his family...

Thanksgiving dinner was delicious.  Zibbey and I were in charge of everything and it all turned out great.  We have so many things to be thankful for this time of year!

Halloween

We began this week with a pumpkin carving FHE...





Sometimes the marker got away from Daniel


Proud of their jack-o-lanterns


Sam had proclaimed a few months ago that he was going to be a  bat.  With a little creativity (and a lot of sweat), I came up with this little number.


Waiting for our ride to go trick-or-treating


Cutest frog ever!
(The black nose was applied by Sam while I wasn't looking)


A successful night!


Boise Temple


The Boise temple has been closed since June 2011 for extensive renovations.  We are so glad that it is now complete and will be rededicated November 18th.

Until then, we got to enjoy a tour during the open house.  It is beautiful inside and out!
