Thanksgiving

We had a GREAT Thanksgiving this year! Good food, good company....what more could a person ask for! We went up north for the big day. We ate dinner at noon at Lori's. I tried not to eat to much because I knew we were going to Payson later to eat...but I couldn't help myself, just to many yummy things!! We were able to do our gingerbread houses before we headed to Payson...and Mac loved that. He ate more than he put on his little house, but oh well, it is the holidays!! My grandma even made Ella a little house, so we decorated it her!! We headed up to Payson later and had some more yummy food!! It was a really fun night. We played scrabble, ate food, talked, lounged, ate more food....it was great! I didn't take one picture there though!! I hate when I do that!!




On the way to Payson, my husband did something so heroic....He saved a goat!!haha Okay, the goat wasn't dying or anything, but the goat's poor head was stuck in the fence!! Carl stopped the car, got out, and pushed the goat's head through the fence. I was kind of getting nervous because I thought the goat was going to bite him or something, but it didn't! It was quite the thing to see! Good job Carl!



While we were up north we got to go to a Jazz game with Phil, Jenny, Kieth and Hariella! We LOVE the Jazz, so Carl and I were so excited!! We took tracks from Sandy to the Energy Solutions Center, which made us a half an hour late to the game, but we still had a good time!Gotta love the Jazz!!






This year in Nephi there was a light parade and lights in the park so we took the kids down to it. It was a nice night...it was cold, but it could have been A LOT colder! The kids had fun, and McKay was so excited to see SANTA! It was such a fun weekend!! I can't wait until Christmas!!!

WOW! When you guys celebrate you go all out. All of those things sounded fun, and now Carl is a Super Hero. All the goats in the land will be safe.

I love how you wrote about Carl doing a 'brave' thing over Thanksgiving! What a funny story! It does sound like something Carl would do! =0) The pics of the kids making gingerbread houses are darling! What a great tradition! We just might have to adopt something like this (wink-wink!). We're so excited to see you all Christmas day!

Who knew that we could add goat saver on to Carl's list of qualities. He's amazing.

Thats hilarious about the goat i love that you posted it. Also I cannot believe your baby girl is 6 months, that seems so weird cause it seems liek you were just pregnant with the first. Time flies
