Week in Pictures!

I have a ton of pictures today. Im a little late on posting all this, but we had a really good time last week for thanksgiving. Ben and Wendy and also Ben and Lacy came and hung out with us for awhile. They both got here on Sunday and Ben and Lacy stayed til Wednesday and Ben and Wendy stayed until Saturday! It was so much fun to get to see them all again. While Ben and Lacy were here, we went up to the mountains to see what we could see. Which wasnt a whole lot since it was pretty cold, but we went to Bridal Veil Falls and it was pretty. We even found some snow..probably more ice than snow, but Makella loved it anyway! We watched movies and played games and had a lot of fun while they were here. We even went to the playground by my house and played there for a bit....yeah 6 grown ups and 1 baby all playing on the slides. Unfortunetaly I didnt get pictures that day, but it was fun!






























On Wednesday, we ate breakfast with Ben and Lacy and then they had to go back to Lund. That afternoon, the zoo in salt lake had free admission! So of couse we went! Karianne got to come with us too, which made it even better! We had a lot of fun seeing all the animals. We left right when it got dark, so we got to see all the christmas lights that they had put up at the zoo. It was really pretty! The whole time Wendy was here, Makella was pretty much attached to her and was pretty content to just be with Wendy. It was a pretty nice break for me!






























This is the red panda, it was my favorite animal and I think I want one! They are so cute!

They look pretty excited! :)















We have pictures just like this from when we were little and we came to hogle zoo!















Makella got to ride the carousel! She wouldnt ride on any of the animals because she gets scared easily, but she Loved to sit on the bench!
Then the next day was of course thanksgiving! This year me and Wendy pretty much made everything! It was the first time we have ever attempted Thanksgiving dinner. It was really a lot of fun though and everyone helped out, so it turned out awesome! We had it at Jon's parents house because they had a little more room than our apartment. They werent even there though because they had gone up to spend thanksgiving with Kami. So It was just me and Jon, Ben and wendy, and Karianne and Larry. We didnt slave too hard I dont think and it all turned out good. Im usually not a huge fan of turkey on thanksgiving, but I actually really liked it! It was really good, so I guess turkey can taste pretty good. Plus, we only had the things that everyone liked, so it was a really great meal! Jon was pretty concerned with us having enough pie...haha, so I think we overdid it on the pies...but you can never have anough pie, right?























































Jon is pretending to cut the turkey, but really Larry is the master turkey cutter, so he did the honors! After that, we spent the next couple of days out and about. We did a little shopping and then we went with Karianne and Larry to see the new James bond movie and then to Cafe Rio, which is always good. Ben and Wendy had to leave the next morning and Makella was really sad to see them go! She misses her aunt wendy and knows that she lives in california so now, that is where she wants to go! It was a really good week for us and we were so glad they could come. Its been awhile since Ive been able to have thanksgiving with anyone in my family, so it was great! Now, we are just gearing up for christmas and all the good times that come with it! I hope everyone had a good thanksgiving and that you have a good christmas holiday as well!
