My macho man! Travis LOVED watching all the Thanksgiving weekend football games! It was great to have a house full of cousins for the big BYU/UTAH game on Saturday!
My boys! I love these two crazy kids! I love their big hugs and kisses! Justin's class put on a cute Thanksgiving mini-concert for all the parents on Tuesday before Thanksgiving. They sang a bunch of fun Thanksgiving songs and then had a feast of stone soup. They each were assigned to bring one of the ingredients for the soup. He's the cute one signing "I love you!"
Good health! So Thankful!
Airplanes! I love that we can hop on a plane and be in Utah in two hours! It makes living away from family that much more bearable. This trip, Tyler was old enough to be AMAZED by everything about the flight. He was even a little scared by the engines and rumbling during takeoff and landing. When we landed in Utah, he clapped. Justin is becoming quite the flying pro. He knows exactly what to ask for from the flight attendant and which elevators he wants to ride on.
A yummy Thanksgiving feast! Mmmmm...turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, candied yams, rolls and jam, mashed potatoes, green beans, coleslaw, pumpkin pie, date nut roll, banana cream pie, and pecan pie. Oh, and don't forget the egg nog!
Lots of cousins for my kids to have fun with! They played for 5 days with Amber's 4 kids and Heidi's 2 kids. Justin and the big girls played all sorts of games and built houses and forts all over grandma and grandpa's house. Tyler and Jason had fun hugging and playing trains together.
Game nights! Love em'!
Family Christmas Parties! We celebrated Christmas together on Sunday. Since our family won't be in town for Christmas, my mom decorated the house and planned a special nativity and gift exchange with the whole family on Sunday night. I love it when it is our turn to spend Thanksgiving in Utah because we get to have two christmas' that year! It can't get better than that! I just have to share the coolest building block set I have ever seen! Check out www.wedgits.com Justin got the starter tote from grandma and grandpa and both boys (and mom and dad, too!) can't stop playing with them. You can build ANY way and it is so much easier for Tyler to build with than on his legos or even mega blocks. We'll have to put an add on set or two on our wish list for Santa this year! :)
Good friends! Who will hopefully forgive me for spending the whole week with family non-stop and not calling to get together...we'll plan ahead better next time!
