Thanksgiving

We had a good Thanksgiving. We headed up to Eagle to spend the holiday with Mom, Dad and Brad. The kids were reasonably well behaved on the 6 hour drive there and back--Emily did melt down a couple of times. We went bowling at BSU and Peter Gordon, Hannah and Becca ended up in a dead tie while Mom soundly beat the rest of us. Peter Gordon went on rounds with Grandpa Pete and thought it was way cool. Mom took Chantel, Becca and Hannah to get their hair cut and they sure look cute. I enjoyed watching BYU beat Utah and it was pretty funny to listen to Peter Gordon telling Uncle Brad and Grandpa Pete that their team lost. Thanksgiving dinner was delicious--orange rolls, stuffing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, jello, and turkey. The kids had a vigil to see how long the turkey would take to cook and it seemed like forever to them. We went on several walks and watched a couple of movies. Chantel and I also got out and did some Christmas shopping. On the way home we stopped at Steve and Marla's and they kindly fed us dinner. The kids were super happy--they got to see Uncle Steve and eat. This is a wonderful time of year. We are thankful for all of our many blessings--especially our little Emily's health.
