Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend this year. We had lots of family down from both side of the family. We were able to have two dinners one at Grandma's Sylvia's house with the Schuddes,McMurphys and the Warrs ... and then dessert at the Muirs with Grandma and PaPa Smith, Zundels,Francoms and Meitus. And then off to a little Black Friday shopping, thanks Christian for helping to get those BIG presents for the boys...they will LOVE them!
Of course, no Thanksgiving if complete without swimming with the cousins!
BURRRRR!


Because we will all be scattered this Christmas, we celebrated Christmas also! What fun it is to open Christmas presents early.


All the men folk went early one morning shooting. Ryan and Papa took my boys-with a lot of objections from Mommy- but they all had fun and did a lot of damage to the cases of pop they took. You could smell the testosterone when they pulled up and unloaded the trucks. I'm just glad everyone returned alive and with all their body parts ;) Thanks Papa for sharing your arsenal and teaching the boys gun safety (if there is such a thing)


We topped the weekend off with a drive around town looking at Christmas lights and ended up at the Temple lights. What a beautiful sight, and how nice it is to look at lights without freezing in the snow. (I love SLC Temple Square, but FREEZING!) The kids loved watching the Nativity and pointing out each piece. We loved having Chandra and her boys staying with us, Parker and Jordan were such helpers. They really liked showing Landon and Braden around. Thanks Grandma Kathy for all your help, we couldn't have done it without you!



HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE !
