Thanksgiving

Well, I guess it's about time I blogged about our Thankgiving holiday since Christmas is almost here! The kids had the whole week of Thanksgiving off of school and Daron took the week off from work. We went down to Salt Lake and spent the first part of the week at Daron's parents' and the last part of the week at my parents'. On Monday, we went to an authentic Thanksgiving dinner at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi. The kids had a great time as we ate some of the same things the pilgrims did and played some games from pilgrim times.





On Tuesday we took the kids to the zoo and even though it was cold, they spent hours looking at the animals.

Luke enjoyed a Utah Jazz game with Grandpa Brent that night. The kids had fun dressing up in some of Grandma Sue's dressups.




On Wednesday the kids went with Grandma Sue and dad to Boondocks Fun Center. On Wed. evening we went up to my parents' house and that evening Daron and I went with my sister and her husband and saw the Blind Side. It was a great movie! Thursday we had a delicious Thanksgiving dinner.
That night Daron and I went to a Jazz vs. Bulls basketball game. The Jazz played great and won by quite a bit. On Friday I hit the Black Friday Sales and got some great deals. On Sat. we went to the BYU vs. U of U football game. We were all able to go down on the field before the game started and help make a tunnel for the players to run through as they ran out onto the field. I've never done anything like that before and it was amazing to be down on the field with everyone. After a nail biter, we won the game.
It was so fun to spend time with family and for the kids to play with their grandparents and cousins. Here is a picture of Ian and Delylah giving hugs.
