We had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving. Normally, we head up to my father-in-law's house in Heber City, UT but this year, for various reasons, he decided to host Thanksgiving at his home Salt Lake City. I was very forlorn about it because Thanksgiving is always super fun up in Heber with most of us arriving the night before and staying up late talking and playing games. However, it ended up being a really nice fun day and dentist husband and I were able to spend a nice morning with our kids before heading over to my Father-in-law's house. My father-in-law remarried a year ago and she introduced some wonderful new food items into the Thanksgiving meal--the pan fried yams being my personal favorite addition. It was a nice and very crowded Thanksgiving. On Friday morning, dentist husband and I took the kids up to Heber and went bowling (an annual tradition we couldn't break) and then ate a Canton City for lunch. That night, we played Charades (Parades as toothsome #3 calls it)and got everyone to bed at a good time--which hasn't happened for the last two nights and I was able to clean out my office area which has needed it for months!
This morning, the first things my kids asked me was "When do we get out the Christmas decorations?" So, after Saturday chores, it looks like we are onto Christmas fun.
