Thanksgiving

I had to put this picture in because Mr. Jones thought it was cool that I took this picture.  Sorry it is blurry but I don't have  a very good zoom on my camera. I have to tell you a story about this deer though, it isn't the first time we have seen him.  Last week when I came home from church I saw this old guy with a "Go Pro" strapped to his head sneaking around the corner of the house.  For a minute I wasn't sure who it was because the Bishop never beats me home from church!
Well he was sneaking up on this big buck and he had his bow and arrow and he had a blunt arrow to try and see if he could hit this deer.  I honked the horn at him, not knowing what he was doing but thinking he looked pretty funny with his suit and tie and a "Go Pro" strapped to his head.  Well, needless to say my honking scared the deer and it went bounding off.  You couldn't see much in the movie he took, but he watched it over and over wishing he would have taken a still photo.  So when this deer came back I was just trying to make Mr. Jones happy.

we had a great thanksgiving and the food and company was great!

We had a couple of little tables set up for the little people, but Evan didn't think it was too cool to be included on the little table.

McKenly getting ready for the prayer and Bryce looking like he is in pain waiting.

I had to have one extra person on another table and I was worried about that person feeling left out, but Trevor thought he was King, having his own table.

Bryce finally got too eat!

Part of the table, the other side of the table was still getting food for those on the "little table".

MMM, it was so good!


Layne and Carson were included in the"big table"

After a day of shopping with Rainee, Mary and Caitlin we went to the light parade in Preston.



It was a little cold but it was fun to see the lights and fireworks.

Here they come!

It's hard to get photo's of fireworks, I always misjudge when to push the button.
Yes, we were in front of the Round's building.

McKenly had the parade queen wave down and was waving to everyone.

Breakfast the next morning was of course, fruit loops.

Before the Cannon's left McKenly gave us a fashion show.  We were talking about who teaches girls to pose? I'm not sure but most girl's are born with it and this one definitely had the poses down.

and the looks!
It was a great Thanksgiving weekend and we have lots of stories to tell about our black Friday adventures but because they include certain some one's gifts, I might have to tell them later after the gifts have been received .  But it was great fun and we were all tired when it was all over!

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving and just the best Thanksgiving food!  It was kind of quiet this year with just one table.  It was the opposite year for most everyone so we had Mac and Jess, Caitlin and my Mom and Dad, and of course Ryan and I.  We even had one empty spot at the table! The company was fantastic and the food was terrific, it was a great Thanksgiving.

Here we are with all of the yummy food!


Here we are again and you can see Dad better, he was hiding in the first one.

Before we started we wrote what we were thankful for this year on a leaf for our thankful tree. Ryan was thankful for Life, Liberty and his wife!

I love Thanksgiving and all the food and time spent with family.  In the afternoon we worked on making more room for pie, checking out all of the black Friday deals, making some glitter balls for Christmas, watching football, taking a nap, and just enjoying the day.  This picture above wasn't from Thanks giving but from pie night another great tradition of this holiday.  Hope all of you had a great day as well. Now on to Christmas!!

Trevor's birthday and Pie Night!

This cute little munchkin turned one! 

He is obsessed with anything techno.

Mary and Isaac had a great party for his first birthday and here is his darling cake.

All of the cousins were invited. and because they are boys most of the time is spent wrestling.

or showing off their muscles.

His gifts were a hit with everyone and he had so much help opening them.

The cake was definitely a hit with every one.

We sang and he tried to touch the candle out. Didn't quite figure out the blowing thing.

He got his very own smash cake.

He had eaten so much lasagne that it took him awhile to get into the cake.

Mm mm, I can even eat the truck!

now he is getting the hang of it.

Yummy!

Here try some Grandma!

Waiting for there turn.

McKenly brought her purse to the party.

See Grandma, I am definitely a girl.

Trevor got a bath after the smash cake.

Then last night we had Pie Night!  Here was my black berry kiwi pie.

Kace trying to show off his muscles and Lincoln checking out the Turkey Pops!

Mm mm more pies!

Uncle Jay teaching McKenly to stick her finger in all of the pies. You Know what happens when you have too many fingers in too many pies? (You become exhausted!)

Trevor enjoying his favorite flavor pie, (milk)


I want one of those and one of those.

and one of those and one of those.

Solving the world's problems.

Sneaking a smooch.

Cute!

Carson listening to the hunting stories.

Lincoln finally getting his Turkey pop!
