A Hunting We Will Go

This year for Thanksgiving we packed up the kids and headed to Utah. Our first stop was Grandpa and Grandma Christensen's house. We arrived just in time for a yummy Thanksgiving feast with all the fixins. A couple hours later we headed over to Grandma Kathy's for another yummy dinner. My mom and Vance have been raising chickens and turkeys for the past year and this year for Thanksgiving we got to eat one of  their turkeys. Seth was so excited about this...he had not one, not two, but three servings of that turkey!! It was delish!
The next day I woke around 3:00 a.m. to do a little BLACK FRIDAY shopping! It was a success. I got some really good deals and love love love the whole experience!
Then on Saturday we headed down to Oak City for the annual Christensen Christmas tree hunt. I of course don't cut one down for me personally, but Seth gets him one every year for his bedroom. He was so excited about it and had to keep telling me over and over how excited he was for his tree. While we were there we had yummy chili and bread bowls, cinnamon rolls and other goodies. The kids had fun sledding and roasting marshmallows. Here are some pics of the tree hunt. 



This is the one...so proud!

Celebrating 75 Years

My sweet Grandma Jones turned 75 years young last weekend so we jumped in the car and headed down to St. George for the weekend to celebrate this special day with her. My aunt Lisa did such a good job hosting this special event and it was so good to see cousins and aunts who flew in from out of town to be there. They had a great band and some good food! Happy Birthday Grandma. I am proud to be yours.

Halloween

Seth came home from preschool with an invitation that he made all by himself. It was an invite to his preschool Halloween party....

At the party the kids got to decorate cupcakes, play pin the tail on the dragon, make slime and hit the pinata. It was a fun time!

Then it was off to Grandma's house. We went trick or treating at Grandpa and Grandma Christensen's house. It was cold and rainy but luckily we were able to get out before the weather got too bad. The kids were done after one street, which was fine by me:) They spent the rest of the night passing out Halloween candy to all the trick-or-treaters. I think that was their highlight.

Hope you all had a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
