We headed out to Duchesne for a few days over Thanksgiving! It was wonderful to get away and leave our worries behind! We had a great time with Jared's family. All of his siblings were there, so it was a full house! The kids had a blast playing with their cousins.
Dad and Grandpa carving the turkey.
The feast!!! It was extra yummy this year.
The big kids ready to eat!
Camille, Taylor, Hailee, Garet
The other three...Mason, Ava, and Hazel.
Baby Luke was asleep during the feast:)
Grandma Davies and Grandpa Taylor were able to join us for dinner too.
As most of you know, the weather was freezing that week. It dipped well below zero almost every morning and never got above the teens. But, the kids still wanted to go out and play. Jared was such a good sport. He took them on four-wheeler tube rides even though their wasn't much snow. The kids loved it!
The girls did plenty of crafting. We made these countdown blocks and scrapbooked our calendar pages. Serena is putting together a cute calendar and we are all contributing a page. They will be so fun!
Camille and Ava were the only ones that wanted to ride Lightning!
Saturday we headed up Rock Creek to cut down a Christmas Tree. We had a good time and even got a family picture. Will is missing (he's at work) and baby Luke is asleep in the car.
We found the perfect tree!
More sledding fun!
Hazel and Jason
Decorating the tree! Mason was so cute this year. I think he's redecorated the lower branches at least ten times since we put it up! Silly boy.
My three little snowmen!
While we were watching the first presidency Christmas Devotional the kids made these Tinker Toy popcorn holders! So clever!
Mason being a silly boy.
One night when Daddy was working late the kids made these forts out of the couch cushions! Very creative I might say. Notice the girl one and boy one! They wanted to show Dad before they cleaned up for bed, so we had to take a picture.
Another night we decorated gingerbread houses! I think Mason ate more than he decorated!
Yummy!
We love Christmas time! Hopefully Santa will bring us a new vehicle for Christmas this year! No, we still haven't found one:( We are hoping and praying though!
