Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving was my favorite Thanksgiving ever. John took a couple of days off so it actually felt like a holiday break and we had a great time visiting with lots of family. We spent Thanksgiving with all the Durrant family at a church because there are so many people now...we just don't fit in a house. It was really fun. We had nice time catching up and there was plenty of room for the kids to play (Carter thought walking up and down lines of church chairs was the coolest activity EVER). After dinner we headed to my parents for pie. My Grandma Hansen was in town for the holiday which I think is why it seemed so special this year. I just adore my grandma and it was so fun to have her there. We also had lots of good family time with her on outings to dinner, craft fairs, and hanging out. My mom and Grandma Hansen

The day after Thansgiving we headed to Temple Square to see the lights. It was SO busy (which I guess we should have guess but we didn't) but the kids loved seeing the nativity and lights. They also really enjoyed going in the Tabernacle and Assembly Hall and checking out the buildings. I thought it was a little weird but Emily really gets a kick out of old buildings and old things. :)

We finished off the weekend with a great BYU win over Utah. We got together with lots of John's family to have a fun football/pizza party. The kids were totally true to stereotypes: the boys watched the game and cheered and loved it all; the girls got bored pretty quickly and spent their time coloring upstairs.
