Temple lights....

The day after Thanksgiving, we went to see the temple light at temple square. We met at Cafe Rio before for dinner. My Grandparents were there but justfor dinner. Nataleigh had to work Black Friday and Lucy was just too lazy to go. It was really cold out but it was nice being all together. When we got into the Joseph Smith building we lost Kory. Yep we lost him. For about half an hour too. We finally found him at the Visitors Center. We had tons of fun and tons took lots of pictures. That would be because Corina was there and we always take tons of pictures when she's around. Here are some pictures of our fun night......

Thanksgiving Dinner at Mama's House

This year we went to my Mom's house for Thanksgiving. I got off the hook from the cooking since I can't really stand on my feet for very long. Elias was going to go over and help her but she cooked everything the day before so she was all ready for dinner except for the turkey. I only wish we could have had the dinner a little earlier so I could eat more because if it's too late I can't eat too much or I will be throwing up bits of it all night. SICK!!! and yes I did over do it. I shouldn't have had any dessert but I couldn't help it. I wanted a taset of everything.
YUM!

Gingerbread House

So, we had this kit to make a gingerbread house on our table from last year and so we decided to finally put it together for one of our family home evening activities. At first, Elias wasn't too excited but as soon as I told him he was in charge of frosting the house, he got really into it. It was so much fun. I'm sure the kids loved it and will always look back and remember the things we did together.
