Holidays

This year for thanksgiving we had it at our house with Marcs family. Not everyone could make it, but were grateful for the ones that could. We had a turkey and a ham and all the sides. No one went hungry. The guys got to watch all the football they wanted while My sister in law and I planned out our black friday shopping plans.

All the family gathered togehter

Pie, pie, and more pie. Marc thought that the three pies I made wasn't going to be enough for the whole weekend so I bought 2 more. well ten Marc's brother thought he would make a pie and Marcs mom decided to bring 2 pies. So we ended up with 8 pies. Surprisingly there were doubles of anyhting.

Connor and Jenna sent most of thanksgiving exploring, and collecting acorns from the pond area next to our house.


My sister in law and I love the deals of black friday , but are not dye hards like the people you see on TV. We left around 6 am and started shopping around 7am. We got everything we wanted and didn't have to wait out in the cold and in the lines. we were tired and ready for a nap once we got back.


We had a BYU football party at Jared and Jaimes. The cougars won, Yeah!!!. Marc didn't join us because he wen tto the game with my dad and saw the game first hand. we knew he had fun because he had no voice left when he got home.

Sunday night Marc and I took the kids down to temple square to see the christmas lights. Every year we want to go, but don't always get there because of weather or timing. So we went early this year. I love the lights, and the feeling on temple square. Brielle was so cute we said, "look there's the temple" and she said, "No, that's a castle". Later she told me it was Jesus's castle. She is so cute. It was great to explain the christmas story and teach the kids about the true meaning of christmas. We went down early so that we were there when it got dark. Good thing because after an hour and half the kids were cold and ready to go home. It was a great way to kick off the christmas holiday. I am definitely in the christmas mood now.
