Thanksgiving Tidbits

We've had a busy week here. Here are a few highlights:

*Monday - Jay had lunch with Henry at school and played basketball with his buddies during recess.

*Tuesday - To keep things equitable, Tuesday was "Daddy and William Day". They ran errands all morning and had lunch out together.

*Wednesday - We took the kids to get their annual holiday picture made in the morning. Jay made a double batch of rolls for Thanksgiving and I went shopping to get a little jump on Christmas. We watched "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" and had popcorn after dinner.

*Thursday - We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with Jay's family in Ogden. We were missing a few members of the family (Nana was visiting Adam and family in the Czech Republic and Great-Nana spent the holiday with other family members) but we had a nice dinner and a fun afternoon with everyone else.

*Friday - We made several batches of caramel popcorn in the morning - the kids love this activity and we love giving it away at Christmas. We spent the afternoon decorating for Christmas. It's always fun to get the house all spruced up for the holidays.

*Saturday - Jay took the boys to the Utah State/New Mexico State football game and Tessa and I hit the mall for some shopping.

All in all, we had a fun Thanksgiving week. We love having Jay on vacation that week; it always seems like a good week to get alot of things done to prepare for Christmas and to just hang out together.

We hope you all had a wonderful holiday as well.
