Thanksgiving

We went to North Ogden, UT for Thanksgiving. We headed out Tues night after Zhara got out of school & drove to my parents house & spent the night. We made it to Utah Wed night in time for my father-in-laws 66th birthday party (I didn't get any pictures). We had a great time with David's family & enjoyed the cold weather. We did not enjoy the "inversion" that covered up the mountains & caused the snow on the mountains black. I hope you enjoy the pictures of our holiday.
The girls saw the snow on the ground when we arrived at Grandma & Grandpa's house & couldn't wait to get out & play in it (it was funny because it was left over snow on the side of the house that doesn't get any sun). Zhara was begging to go out when it was dark & like 20 degrees outside, so Thanksgiving morning while Daddy was playing football the girls played in the "snow" Right after playing with the snow we were headed to Aunt Debbie's house & Alyssa misjudged Grandma's steps & fell right on her face. I caught her in time that her face slid across the cement instead of smacking it but it scraped her nose pretty good...you will see the scabs in pictures below

Here is Alyssa showing Grandpa how Daddy shaves
Thanksgiving dinnerA little ping pong The girls found some more left over snow and....Snowball fight!!! David got me right in the back of the neck & it went right down my shirt.

The girls were trying to get the cow, who lives next door to Grandma, to come over so they could feed him
Playing cards with Grandma T...she beat us every time.Going for a walk with Daddy & Uncle BradOn Friday night we went to Salt Lake City & met up with our adopted family, the Larsen's, to see Temple Square lights. It was so great to see them.
The girls were having a great time wrestling with DustinBishop helping get Alyssa's shoes onAlyssa insisted that when she is 8 she will come back to Temple Square & get baptized in this fountain
Somehow I can't seem to find the beautiful pictures of temple square & this picture does not do it justice. It was so very beautiful. Me, Sue & Alyssa.
