Love playing in the snow

This morning the kids woke up to snow on the ground and the first thing they wanted to do was go play in it. So I got us all ready and out we went in the fresh new snow. Makenna wanted to help shovel the snow off the driveway, but I ended up finishing the job. Jackson enjoyed throwing snow at us. We had a fun time playing in the snow. Jackson said once it starts to snow then Christmas is almost here. So it looks like we might have a white Christmas.

Temple Square

Saturday night we went to Temple Square in Salt Lake City, to see the lights. We went with Jake, Laralee and kids, James, Blaze and friend Camie, Lindsay and Adam. We chose a bad night to go, because there was a Jazz game and a concert at the conference center, so the traffic was horrible and it took us about 30-45 minutes to find parking. The kids really enjoyed going and it snowed a little bit while we were there. Also congratulations Lindsay and Adam!!

Our Christmas Tree

We finally got our Christmas tree up. Makenna fell asleep, so Jackson did most of the decorating. He had a fun time putting the ornaments onto the tree. Now I can start wrapping presents and put them under our tree.

Festival of Trees

Last night, my kids and I went with my family to see the festival of trees at the convention center in Ely. Different groups/companies decorate trees and then auction them off this weekend. Jackson's favorite one was a tree full of story books and stuffed animals. I liked the cowboy tree. Mt Wheeler Power(where my dad works) did the green and red tree, the one where Jackson and Makenna are sitting by. I have never gone to this and they have it every year, so it was fun to see the different trees and the kids enjoyed going. We even got to hear the middle school/high school jazz band play.

Christmas Sled

Friday night, Ben, Lacy, Blaze, Jackson, & I worked on a graham cracker Christmas sled(instead of a train we used candy canes for the wheels and made it a sled). We enjoyed eating the decorations as we put together our train. Micah just layed on the couch and played with Makenna and Jackson.

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a fun Thanksgiving. We ate at grandma Ludean's and grandpa Phil's home here in Lund. My family and a few friends also came down to have Thanksgiving with us. We had around 27 people here. After dinner, we played bingo and everyone brought prizes for the game. Then a few of us went and played basketball and hockey at the school. Jackson loved playing hockey and didn't want to leave. I hope everyone else had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

My parent's made homemade root beer.

I think Jackson's favorite part of the meal was the pumpkin pie.

How precious

Sat. Micah and I spent the morning working on our home, putting up some of the final trim and I started to put up some Christmas lights, since the weather was nice. Around 11:00 am Makenna wanted to go inside and watch a movie, so I started one for her and checked on her about a half an hour later and she had fallen fast asleep. I thought she looked so precious laying there, so I had to take a picture. Sorry I didn't take any of us working outside, they wouldn't have been very fun to look at.
