We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving, full of lots of laughter, food, family and fun! Because of the snowy weather in Utah and Idaho, our Idaho family decided to come on Monday evening. It was a nice surprise! It was great to spend more time with everyone. We enjoyed a great meal - with lots of people helping. Many hands make light work.
Doesn't the turkey look great? Kennedy is checking to make sure the temperature reads correctly,telling us it's done.
A familiar sight throughout the day - gathered around in the family room reading through all the newspaper ads! We had to see if there were any great deals worthy enough to brave the crowds on Black Friday.
We spent a lot of time with this cute little 2-year-old Lucas. He is full of spunk and quite dramatic, and kept us laughing. He enjoyed all the attention, and loved having Kayden, Kennedy and Savanna to play with. He had them wrapped around his finger. He wanted to stay at our house all the time, and we would gladly have kept him!
A long tradition in our family - playing bingo after dinner. Lots of prizes and pasta (number markers) everywhere.
We also spent a great amount of time lovin' on this sweet baby girl, McKinley. She was rarely put down and got more hugs and kisses in these few days than she'd had her whole life! She's a very good baby and we never heard her upset. We wondered if she ever cried.
We went to Thanksgiving Point to see the lights that you drive through. It was a cold evening, but we were cozy warm in the car. At the end, we got out for just a minute to see the reindeer. Kayden didn't come prepared with a coat, but luckily we had an extra blanket in the car.
The week went quickly and we were sad to see everyone leave. We are blessed with a wonderful family whom we love very much.
