Happy Thanksgiving

We hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving Holiday. Ours was filled with food, family, friends, and rain. It rained all day. The drizzly cold and miserable rain. Lucky for us we have plenty of toys, games, and movies to entertain everyone while dinner was being cooked. We had our friends the Wheelers over for a combined dinner and it was delicious. The men deep fried the turkey and didn't burn the house down. As we had been warned over and over again.

For family night this week I asked everyone what they were thankful for. Here are their answers:
  • Rylee: My Family
  • Reganne: Juice
  • Ryder: My bottle
  • Dave: Country, house, family
  • Lori: Healthy kids

The Jubilee of Trees 2008
I love the holiday season in St. George. Each week there is another holiday activity. Last Sunday kicked it off with the Jubilee of Trees. All of the pretty Christmas Trees all decorated and wonderful music from the choirs. It really starts the season out with a bang.
Decorating the Tree
The girls were so excited to put the Christmas Tree up and the lights on the outside. They have been helping Dave with each task. Dave soon tired out, but they talked him into putting the second tree up with all of the fun ornaments. He surprised them with turning it upside down and putting Grandpa Roy's train underneath.
The task now for the next month is keeping all of them out of the tree. The girls are just as bad as Ryder.
Gas update Costco yesterday $1.63.

The last time I got gas at Costco it was $1.87. Oh, and how do you keep a tree upside down? I've seen it done but don't know how it's done.
