Sunday Morning...First in December

 Sunday was a good day. We all looked so Christmasy (is that a word?) so we took some photos before church. All the boys had on their Christmas ties and McCall her little dress. We set the camera on a garbage can to get it to where we could get one all together with the timer, so not our best photo, but it works.

 Had to get the wiggles out!

The kiddos.

It was a really great day. We came home after church and had a mini Thanksgiving dinner again since we weren't all together for it. Then we watched the First Presidency Devotional as a family and after that we had pumpkin pie, hot chocolate with egg nog and played Apples to Apples. It was a good night!

Family time... Scuds Resturant and CD'A lights.

So our friends Brett and Emily Lyman opened a resturant in CD'A Idaho a few weeks ago. It's Gourmet Grub, as he puts it. He is a really great cook! And these burgers are HUGE! He stuffs them with all sorts of stuff. It was super fun, we had been waiting for a night when our whole family was home so we could take them, so last weekend it finally worked out. We had a good time.

Our crew... Parker is a ham!

Brett in the back making our burgers.

 You should have seen the stuff oooozzzz out of this burger when Landon bit into it!

 Parker ate the entire Scruds Burger..which is huge and all his fries... when you do that you get to put your name on the wall. The rest of us split ours. :)

 Daddy and his girls

 Mommy and some of her boys

McCall and Cameron are just a few months apart, McCall is older, but shorter.

I can't believe how tall he is getting! The other day I was in a little argument with him and I was suddenly shocked that we were eye to eye! He's only 12!

 After dinner we went to the CD'A resort and looked at all the lights. It's so beautiful. It was a good way to kick off the season as a family. It was freezing!

 Easton LOVED the lights. He would have stayed out there all night!

 All the kids

The lights are just amazing. It was a good night.

The kids were exhausted!

Thanksgiving at our house

Thanksgiving this year we only had one of our kids... So we invited people from our ward over for an early dinner, then we went to Don's sisters house for some games and MORE desserts. It was a great day!

  This is Katoba Mushala, she's from somewhere in Africa. Her husband just finished his masters at Gonzaga and she is working on hers and she also teaches zumba at the church a few nights a week. She is so great! Little Hope was cheweing on a turkey bone....so funny!

 Cortney had to work Thanksgiving and the day after and before, so Jeff took the kids and went to Seattle w\ to see Jeremy and his family, so she came to my house. It was nice having her here.

 My mom and her husband Bill came too, she brought pies! Yum!

Easton was so excited for Thanksgiving, even though I am not sure he understood what it was, he just knew friends were coming over and he was really excited to wear his church clothes.

             We also had Matt and Alicia Crossette and their new baby girl and their daughter Hannah.

 Table one...which we didn't end up using, our good friends the Lymans were supposed to come, but their little boy got sick and they had to stay home. We missed them!

 Table two.

And of course.... Midnight Black Friday Shopping!!! We started up at Shopko and worked our way crazy until about 7am. It was freeeezing waiting in line, but we only had to do that once and we got what we had gone for. It was a FUN night with my man.
