Thanksgiving

 Michelle and Brian and family came over the river and through the woods to be with us for Thanksgiving.  We had such a marvelous time.  We made a delicious, traditional Thanksgiving meal.

Gabbi

Michelle made the rolls.  They were delicious and everyone's favorite part.

William

Brian

William was so careful with Grandma's china and crystal

Later, we had pie

Over the weekend, Kenny tried every kind of pie.  He didn't like any of them.  He especially disliked the Key Lime pie.  He was so determined to find a kind he liked.

We had fun playing outside and at the park.

Our basketball wouldn't pump up.  So, we got a new one and the kids broke it in.

I love the method Gabbi resorted to to guard her dad.

We have a lot of toys downstairs and the kids had a lot of fun with them, especially Marbleworks.

The Princes brought their bikes and went on several bike rides.

Jaron's tire kept going flat and wouldn't hold air.  Finally, Ken told him to ride home as fast as he could.  I guess he flew like the wind.

We played lots of games.  This was Kenny's favorite.  I can't remember the name of it, but he got a near-perfect 0 score, so we had to take a picture.

My favorite was Ticket to Ride.  I think I won every time.  Pure luck!

The kids had so much fun raiding the costume box and putting on little plays for us.  It reminded me so much of what our kids would do with their cousins at my mom's house.

We read lots of books.

William is learning to read.  He LOVES his daily reading lesson. He loves to sound out the words and his comprehension is amazingly high.  He asks for his lesson every day.

On Friday morning, we visited both of our temples.  First, the Red Cliffs temple under construction.

Then we went downtown to the St. George temple which is being renovated and walked around it.

William learned to skip as we walked.  It was so cute.

The Princes even did some Black Friday shopping.

And finally, finally, after trying every other kind (pecan, blueberry, apple, and key lime,) Kenny found a pie he liked!!  Pumpkin is the winner!

 

It was such a fun weekend!  Happy Thanksgiving!!
