Thanksgiving 2008

This year we went down to St. George to celebrate Thanksgiving with Tom's parents. We had so much fun! The dinner was very delicious, thanks Ted! Katie and Kellen had so much fun playing with their cousins that they don't get to see very often. Thank you Ted and Ann for such a wonderful time! We hope everyone had a super Thanksgiving. Now that Thanksgiving is over we are now giving ourselves permission to listen to Christmas music...even though it has been on the radio since the day after Halloween.

I also went to Walmart and Kmart on Black Friday. I know, I might be a little crazy but I found most of our Christmas presents for a really good deal! My neice came with me and all she bought was gum. I hope she enjoyed the early morning time with me :)

This year Ted and Heather (Tom's brother and sister-in-law) popped popcorn with jelly beans and watched Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving movie. It was a huge hit with the kids! It might just become a brand new tradition.




The day after Thanksgiving we went to the red hill and had hotdogs. Katie just had the best time! Kellen managed to find every single puddle and would walk right into them.


The kids and Tom found a little cave on one of the trails.


Kellen, Parker, Katie, and Truman.


It got a little chili at the end of the night and Katie was ready! I am not sure about the look on her face, but at least she was toasty.

how fun! I admit I listened to christmas music on the radio once before thanksgiving last week and I've felt guilty ever since LOL Well, who's bright idea was it make so many dominant holidays so close together???? Maybe we ought to celebrate Christmas on April 6th instead! Nah, it needs to be cold and snowy... so when are we moving Thanksgiving to? September? Happy December!

What a fun time- Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Any chance you will be in St. George for Christmas? Let me know if you are, we are going there to see my in laws, which probably means we will miss you in AZ!
