Thanksgiving with the Lakes

Prepare to be blog bombed!  You would think that with all the technological advances that make life easier, I would be able to keep this blog more up to date.  Maybe that will be a New Years resolution... oh wait, New Year's has passed...

We had wonderful holidays this year.  With Thanksgiving and Christmas combined, we were able to spend time with all of our siblings and their families.

Thanksgiving was spent in Utah with the Lakes.  We took advantage of the free zoo day and joined the rest of Salt Lake Valley for a gorgeous, sunny spring day viewing animals.
Thanksgiving dinner was consumed in the Waters lovely home.  Everyone contributed and everything was delicious!
Kids eat first!

After dinner, there was some football playing, visiting the park, crafting, and napping.  In the evening we enjoyed exchanging gifts with each other.

The day following Thanksgiving, we visited Thanksgiving Point to play at the Museum of Natural Curiosity.  It was an amazing place and we had a lot of fun!  I managed to get caught on the stretchy spider web (if you've been there, you know what I mean).  I looked ridiculous trying to get through all the layers, but I have not laughed that hard in a long time!

Saturday, we visited at Grandpa and Grandma Woodbury's home with many of our Woodbury relatives.  It was really fun to see Nikki and her daughter visiting from Virginia.  In the evening we went to see the beautiful lights on Temple Square.

It was a wonderful, long holiday weekend!  We are grateful that everyone made the effort to be together.
