Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a great Thanksgiving weekend and are so grateful for our friends and family during this holiday season. We had Thanksgiving with the Schwitzer side this year and it was an outstanding Thanksgiving feast!! I will do a run down of our weekend through the pictures. The above picture is Jason in his Thanksgiving program at school. He had a speaking part in the program and he did a great job. He stood up to the microphone and said his part loud and clear. We were really proud of him.

On Wednesday our good friends the Partridges were in town from Indiana. We love this family and wished we all lived closer to hang out more. We were lucky to have them as friends when we lived out there. We went bowling and then had a little birthday party for there two kids after. Thanks Partridges for fitting us into your busy schedule!! We love to see you when you come in town. This was the first time Jason had been bowling and he had a blast. Anne didn't enjoy it at all. She was kind of in a bad mood so we will try again.

My kids love to push each other in the laundry basket and Jason used to push Anne around in it. Now it's Anne pushing Eliza and I love it!!

We had Thanksgiving with the Schwitzer's and we had such a good time. The food was very good and we had fun laughing and talking. Auntie Cathy had the kids make these fun pilgrim hat cookies. Again, Jason loved it and Anne was in a bad mood. Maybe next year for Anne!!

Here is Mike and his Dad and brothers. Mike loves being with brothers and it's fun to listen to them talk and joke around with each other. There is never a dull moment when all these guys get together!!

Here are all the girls! The day after Thanksgiving I went out shopping real early in the morning with these gals. Thanks for helping me out and helping me get through the out of control stores! Mike's sister are the best at finding deals and it's fun to go shopping with them to learn a thing or two. We started at 4a.m and after we were done we went out to breakfast. We found some good deals and it was worth waking up to join in the fun!!


Tonight I am going with my family to the Messiah sing-in with the Utah Symphony. This has been a tradition in our family for years and I really enjoy going every year. I love going and hearing and singing music about Christ. It starts off the Christmas season in the right way. There are so many times that I just sit and listen and chills run up and down my spine. Handel was truly inspired when he wrote the Messiah music.

We had a great weekend and can't wait to start the Christmas season!
