Thanksgiving!

We had Thanksgiving dinner at my mom's house this year. We went over early to help with the preparations. When we go there my family was busy decorating their Christmas Tree. Avery loves anything that has to do with Christmas so of course she wanted to help! She sat down and started pulling out all of the decorations she could find. Then her Uncle Tyler helped her put them on the tree. She had a blast!


My mom has a train that she puts around her Christmas tree in her living room every year. The train has Santa on it and he waves as he goes round and round. Avery found this very amusing she would stand there and watch Santa go around. Each time he would pass by her she would bend down and tell Santa, "I want baby Sara!" (All babies to her are "Baby Sara", so she was telling him that she wants a baby for Christmas!) Every time she sees Santa she tells him what she wants for Christmas, it is so cute! I just hope that when we actually take her to see him that she will sit on his lap and tell him. We'll see.


After eating dinner we went to the ampitheater by the Mount Timpanogos Temple and Skyler took family pictures for my mom for Christmas cards, They turned out really cute! (I will post them later). Skyler is a great photographer, he definitely has the eye for it. If you want to check out some of the pictures that he has taken for people in the past you can go to CallStudios.us.



On Friday we went to Temple Square to see the lights. It is a tradition every year we go for my birthday. Avery loved it! We decided to take Trax up there so we didn't have to mess with parking. Avery sat on the sidewalk by the tracks and watched for the train, it was so cute! We went to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner, my favorite. After that we headed over to Temple Square. Avery would point at the lights and say, "Christmas lights, Christmas lights!" She can say it so clearly it is adorable! We had a great Thanksgiving break!

What a fun birthday weekend, it was good being able to see you guys so much last week. I still need to blog about putting up Christmas, my only problem is we forgot to take pictures of it and only recorded it, oops. Maybe we will do a little bit of reinacting (spelling ?) for the camera lol.

Hey Janelle,
It's Joni from school. You guys look like you are doing well. Avery is so big and such a cutie. I didn't know that Skyler took pictures. Would he be interested in taking some pictures of Eli and our Family for our some Christmas cards? Anyways, let me know, pricing, if that is even a possibility. Thanks.
