Thanksgiving & Christmas

Well We move on to Thanksgiving and Christmas. I have to say that the pumpkin carving was a huge hit. So when Spencer suggested that we decorate gingerbread houses on Thanksgiving. Our Thanksgiving was not the traditional Thursday meal. My brother had to be at the fire station on Thanksgiving Day. We had our dinner on Wednesday night instead, it was very fun we ate and then the kids decorated their houses. When the kids were all done then the adult kids took their turn. It was very intresting to see the different ways in which they were decorated. I think that their personalities and jobs came out in the way they decorated the houses. On Thanksgiving day we took our family to a movie I was shocked at how few people were out that afternoon.

For Christmas my mom and her brothers decided to give my grandma an entertainment center so that she will not have to worry about anyone breaking her tv. They could not find any that looked good enough for her to put it in her house. So Mark told my mom that he would build one and they could give it to her. So him and the kids took on the task of getting it done and put together and then we took it to Castle Dale to her family Christmas Party. I have attached pictures of the process and the completed project for you to look at. We also got a family picture taken for our Christmas Cards this year.

On Christmas Eve Santa came to the house. He had all of the kids sit on his lap and tell him what they wanted him to bring them for Christmas Eve. He then had them sit down in front of him and told them that if they didn't go to bed and do everything that their mom and dads told them to then he would fly right over they house.
