Thanksgiving 2013

Casrson, Jessie and I traveled to Denver to spend Thanksgiving with Tanya and her family. Unfortunately, Brad had to stay behind and work at the hospital. We enjoyed an Eagles minor league hockey game with many of Mark's family members and some friends. It was the First hockey game  for Carson and Jess. Carson fell asleep! An added bonus was having Brandon and Allison join us for the game! A late night movie with the young adults certainly kept me going as my bedtime is 10 PM!

Allison and Brandon spent the night at Tanya's, sleeping in the basement with Carson, Jessie, Lauren and I. In the morning, we enjoyed playing games with the girls while the guys played in the Turkey Bowl and basketball. Brandon was so excited to play with his cousins and other friends. Allison fixed Lauren's and Jessie's hair for the holiday.













Taking pictures with my new SLR camera: an early Christmas gift to me!!!!!! 


Thanksgiving Dinner was spent at the home of Keith and Gayle Huntsman along with Mark's brother and sister and families. It was a delicious meal spent with good company. After the meal, we saw the new Disney movie FroZEN! it was delightful and very entertaining! A night of board games and dessert left all of us in a FoOD COMA for most of the evening.

On Friday, Carson, Mark, Nathan and other cousins and ward members attended the Denver Temple to perform baptisms for the dead.



On Saturday, Jess and I traveled to Littleton, Colorado to attend the bridal shower for Allison Beauchamp. Jessie had a great time helping Allison open gifts and spending time with her big brother, Brandon!


On Saturday, Jess and I drove to Lone Tree Colorado and attended Allison's bridal shower hosted by her sister. It was a great gathering of family and friends.

Carson, Brad, Chris and Eli Staggs, and James and Noah Brown enjoyed  a 3D new Dr. Who. Carson has been working extra hard in his school work and we have used this TV series to motivate him.
