Thanksgiving 2010 memories:
- Spending our holiday with Grandma Janice, Grandpa Terry (my parents), Travis and Kristie (my brother and his girlfriend)
- Preparing Thanksgiving dinner with my mom and dad
- Reading the kids' "gratitude lists"
- The smell of turkey cooking in the oven
- Thanksgiving day NAPS
- Playing games every night with grandma
- Movies
- Football
- Brisk winter walks - before dinner with my mom, later that night under the stars with Chris
- Skiing with my girls
- Leftovers!
- PIANO - playing from our latest book of Christmas arrangements and listening to the girls and Chris play Christmas songs as well.
- Reading and relaxing by the fire (Caroline finished TWO books)
- SNOW and watching the little girls play nonstop outside with their sleds and neighbor kids.
- Hot chocolate, peppermint bark, cheeseball, and my mom's famous FUDGE.
- The fireplace - seemed like the fire was going round the clock . . . aahhhhh.
Some pics . . .
Getting up at 6am with my dad to learn how to prepare the perfect Thanksgiving turkey.
Our table (turned out pretty decent considering we don't have a formal dining table yet - pretty cool what you can to with those Costco tables ;-).

Grandma Janice teaching Liza
Our TURKEY !!
Sophie concentrating on her gratitude list . . . she came up with 138 things she is grateful for :-).
The best part of the day.
Another Liza creation in anticipation of the big game. The rest of my family was thrilled to have a recruit . . . if you can't decipher the spelling, it says: "Utah Rocks, I win, BYU stinks like you" - what the? Just today Liza told us all that yesterday was the happiest day of her life because the Utes beat BYU. RRRRRR!
Evening card games with grandma . . . bring it on!
