Thanksgiving Trip















It is long overdue and now that Christmas is over I finally have time to write about our Thanksgiving trip.  Talia,Tucker and I went home to Washington for over 2 1/2 weeks.  Trent came for a week.  We split the time with both our families.  We were able to see several members of our family and it was so much fun.  A few days after we arrived in Washington it snowed and snowed and snowed.  Talia and Tucker were in heaven.  They have missed playing in the snow and I am so glad that they got to enjoy the snow.  This could be a really long post so I will highlight our favorite things from this trip and there will be lots of pictures.  The list is no particular order and hopefully I won't forget anything. 

1.  Lots of playtime with cousins.  I wish my children could spend more time with their cousins.
2.  Sledding on Carmichael Hill with Rodabough and Archibald cousins.
3.  Tubing behind Grandpa Dave's 4-wheeler ( it was too cold to take any pictures)
4.  Snowball fight between Tucker and Dad
5.  Making snowmen - two tiny and one huge!
6.  Thanksgiving day with lots of yummy food and fun with cousins!
7.  Making crafts with Grandma Eyvon including edible turkeys and pilgrim hats.
8.  Going to the movie Tangled with the Archibalds.  We loved the movie.
9.  Playing lots of games of dominoes and Golf with counsins, Aunts and Uncles, and Grandparents. 
10. Delicious dinner at Casa Chapala with Jeppsons and Archibalds. 
11.  Making a big leaf pile and having leaf wars with Allen and Kemp cousins before the snow came.

I LOVE Thanksgiving! When we are living anywhere but Canada we only celebrate American Thanksgiving. When we are in Canada- we celebrate their's in October and then again our's in November. What a wonderful holiday!
