Happy Thanksgiving & Tree Hunt'n!!!

I have to admit that we were a little disappointed when we realized we weren't going to be able to travel to St. George for Thanksgiving- but we ended up having A LOT of fun staying home and spending it with the Rich's! We had a YUMMY dinner at Grandma Julie's and then went out "Christmas Tree hunt'n"...

Uncle Dave cut us out some really cute wood "gingerbread houses" and Grandma Julie invited us over to decorate and eat as much candy and icing as we could- didn't they turn out cute? The kids eat a piece of candy off of them every day and are excited to wash them off after Christmas to do it all again next year!

Ross was my Thanksgiving Indian (he absolutely LOVES wearing the feathers!)

Ross and I had to stay in the rhino (because he is TOO heavy for me to carry in the snow) while Mark and Kort and Tristen picked us out the perfect Christmas Tree. They did a GREAT job and the boys even got to take turns carrying the saw!

Kort was my Thanksgiving pilgrim in his one of a kind turkey hat he made at kindergarten.

p.s.- This was the first year I cooked my own turkey and home-made dressing and it was FABULOUS! I feel like a real mom now :)
