THANKSGIVING-S
We were lucky to have 2 thanksgivings this year. The first one was at my Brother Stevens house. It was very nice but for some reason I only took two stupid pictures. Here we are at one end of the table. Blurry to boot.And here we are at the other end of the table. RuthAnn, Abby and Tember are in this pic. Lame huh? We did have a nice time. My niece who lives in Atlanta was there so that was all worth it.
(no pictures of her..I know lame.)
The next day we had the opportunity of having Blake's brothers over for a Watkins Thanksgiving feast. It was really nice and we had a lot of food left over. Gracie, Lilly and Kunka "helped" me with our turkey.
They decided to name it.
Her name is Tina Turkey.
She had great legs.Here is Gracie touching the turkey ever so dainty.This is her after she touched it. She thought it was cool.A little more confident with the whole hand. funnyHere is Lilly after almost touching Tina.
She wasn't as brave. But that is okay.Kunka, she just loved eating her Chocolate KitKat. Clyde, he just wanted to hide for some reason. Maybe he thought we would serve HIM for dinner. We had a really nice dinner and were glad Troy and Kelly were able to come over. We missed Brittney though. Next time we hope.
GOOOO UTES!!Saturday, The Blessed Holy War between BYU and UTAH was scheduled to play at Noon MST. So our family decided to have a Chili Cook off at my Brother Lance's house. Here is the family watching the BORING game.
Talk about a family divided. Lots of Red and Blue.
My girls in their Ute GearThis is how exciting the game was....Jeff and Jenny with Olivia..I love you guys.Kristi and Kunka. More of the girls. So Cute.
None the less..our beloved Utes Lost to the team down south.
17-10 was the score.
We are still hopeful for next year. We still love our Utes!
Happy Holiday Decorations!
After the upset on Saturday we decided to boost our spirits and do a little Christmas decorating out side. Blake put up the inflatable Santa (we thought was bigger than actual size) inflate Frosty and put up some candy cane lights. I have to say it was pretty festive. The girls, of course, were right in the middle of everything.Here is Lilly hugging our little Santa. They are nearly the same size.See....he isn't very tall at all. But then I guess Santa is an elf right??And here is Frosty. A little bigger.
Kunka didn't like him too much. She didn't want to get too close.She felt safer on the side walk.And it wouldn't be decorating without some Drama.
I don't know what Grace was crying about but it was a big deal to her.Later we went inside and started Decorating. We finished everything Sunday night. It really feels like Christmas. And I guess there is to be some sort of snow this week.Here is our tree. Every year I get new ornaments for my girls. I think we might make them this year who knows.
Santa Claus Is coming TO TOWN
In our adventures this weekend, we happened to run into Santa at the Walmart.
So the girls sat on his lap and told them all their wants and desires.
Lilly wants a doll. (no surprise she wanted a doll - and got one- for her birthday)Kunka wanted this strange man to let go of her..And the Princess wanted a big box of Paints.
Its really starting to feel like Christmas. I am really excited this year. Even though it will be a humble christmas the spirit is still there. How blessed I am to have family and friends so dear.
