Thanksgiving Weekend

I am resigned to the fact that we are destined for nontraditional Thanksgivings for the next few years. Last year I vowed that we wouldn't "mess with tradition", but as it turned out, once again things were a bit different at our house. This year Abby had a tournament in San Diego with her club soccer team over Thanksgiving break so Brian drove her and a carload of females to Southern California where they spent the weekend.

Abby is #27.

Travis, Kellie, and I stayed home and enjoyed our family--both out-of-towners and local BYU students.

We took the kids to Temple Square to see the Christmas lights. (The quality of my photos goes way down when taken in the dark with a phone. Ignore the glowing eyes.)

We convinced Kirk and his family (along with Haley) to have a picture taken with Santa and some elves.

We missed Brian, Abby, Rachel & David, and Charlene's family, but I am truly THANKFUL for THESE loved ones who traveled to Utah to see me.
