Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving week!
We celebrated Thanksgiving with the Sorensens and Carter Family.
Hailey finally wore long sleeves!  What a cute girl!


Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Carter were there which made it special.


Aunt Kimberly and Aunt Laura playing princesses with Hailey while waiting for the yummy food.
Time to eat!
It was delicious and it was fun having everyone there.





That evening we got a picture of the girls in their matching shirts.


This is a picture of the kids patiently waiting in the car while Daddy tried some early Black Friday shopping.  "Never again" is what I think Jeff said when he got back!


The next day we got to celebrate Thanksgiving with the Thomsons.

Aliyah and Uncle Jayce
After the delicious dinner, the turkey kicked in and Hailey fell fast asleep next to Grandpa.
On Sunday we made our own little Thanksgiving meal.
Here are the kids with our Thankful Turkey.







A few pictures because I try to get them all to look and all to smile.  Doesn't always work, oh well.


As always, Jeff does such a great job with our turkey- YUM!

And one of our pies Aliyah helped me make this year.
Festive Apricot Cranberry.  
 We also tried a Maple Pumpkin pie which was pretty good too!
We have so much to be grateful for!  Family, the gospel, our new home, our health, Jeff's job, and all our wonderful experiences to name just a few!

Trouble - Part 2

Our little guy loves to climb and get into trouble.  He is so cute while doing it though!
One of his favorite spots to sit is under our TV.  He loves that he can climb in there.



 Packer was in the kitchen with me while I was doing dishes last night.  He had opened the tupperware cupboard and was playing with the lids.  Suddenly I looked down and Packer had disappeared!  I didn't know where he went.  I quickly found him...in our kitchen cupboard!  He had pulled the lids out and then decided to crawl in!  That boy!  




He is so adorable even when causing mischief! ha ha

 First "snow" of the year - Nov 2, 2013
 (Aliyah said it wasn't snow-ing, it was "frost-ing" which describes it well.  The girls were so excited to go out in it anyway.
