Holiday Happenings Part 2- Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving this year we did something new and different. . . We rented a cabin for a few days with Jer's side of the family including aunts and uncles. It was quite the shin-dig with so much family and it was a crazy blast! We had a great Thanksgiving feast, sledding behind trucks, and we ended it with illegal fireworks. Well since we were in Wyoming they weren't technically illegal. . . although for Josh ALL fireworks should be illegal ;) All in all it was a great holiday! Who's in for next year??? ;) Super sad I don't have any pictures of our cabin getaway! But we did make the trip up to Salt Lake to see the lights with Josh and Britt, Johnny and Glenna, and Suzie and her family. I thought the lights were beautiful, but Crew only lasted about 20 mins and he had had enough of the cold. That 20 mins was worth the nearly 2 hour drive and search for parking.

I loved all the trees with lights! This one in particular looked like it was the burning bush ;)

Holiday Happenings- Part 1 Halloween 2011

Wow how lame have I been??? I have let time slip by without posting any of it! Crew had a great time on Halloween and we were blessed to have nice weather. . . unlike last year. We didn't stay out too long, as soon as the sun set it was too cold for Crew. After gathering a small stash of candy we put him to bed and enjoyed a quiet night! Not a single trick or treater!!! I guess leaving your lights off really works. Too bad I bought that 5lb bag of candy at Costco. . . ah well somebody had to eat it :) We also enjoyed our ward party and of course Granny Redd's awesome grandkids' party.
