Arts and Crafts Night

McKay needed to decorate a paper tree for school. We accepted the challenge as a family and all made a paper tree. It was fun and a nice family activity.
( I know I look great, but I thought it was a cute picture of the kids!)

In this picture Trent told McKay to pretend that he was doing something. He was already done with his. He is our character.
This gold glitter all over my house, was one of Hannah's may contributions to the night.

Putting up the TREE

Our Feast

This year for Thanksgiving we headed home to Blanding to see the baby. Great Grandma Norma baked all the proper food and hosted it all at her house. We had a great time and are thankful for all we have and our families. We love you all.

K'Leigh and Great Grandpa Jim

McKay and his drumstick!! He wanted it and I kept telling him, "No, you won't eat it all." So Great Grandma said he could have it and he ate it up quite nicely:)
Hannah, Uncle Hanson and Aunt Torri enjoying the feast!!
To top of a good feast, we held our baby Madden. Hannah sure loves her, she was not sure of all the time and attention she was getting. Hannah got herself up on my lap and tried to show me everything that she could to get my attention.

The first Movie at the theater with Hannah

We decided to go to the "BEE" Movie while in Blanding. This was a very good learning experience. Hannah liked it for about twenty minutes, she just had other things to do. I thought she would be okay and stay on my lap seeing that she does not like strangers. That was not the case she walked all around in the dark and met everyone. I would pick her up and take her out and she would scream. Needless to say we won't be trying this again anytime soon.

Playing with our Cousins

McKay and Tyler had a great time playing at Torri's. Mckay wants him to live closer to us.

K'Leigh had to stop and pose instead of just playing!
Tyler, McKay and Cooper thought they would use Torri's Wreath as a hoop to throw rocks threw. It kept them entertained for about 15 seconds.

Meeting the Princess Madden

The "Good" ol days

The first night in Blanding, (we got their at about 9:30pm) Trent thought it would be a good time to go through his mission stuff. He had a great time and I learned some new things about him. His mom was trying to encourage us to take it home but I told him to build an office for it all first.

This is Trent in all of his "authentic" Guatemala clothing! This was a good learning experience. It was a great way to kick of this holiday season. We took sometime to realize how grateful we are for the small things we take for granite.
