Thanksgiving Weekend 2007


Thanksgiving for us this year was held in Parowan, UT, where Chris grew up. The weather was cold, and we received snow the night of Thanksgiving. Totally diverting from past years, Thanksgiving dinner was held at about 5:00pm, where most normal families have the meal around noon or 1:00pm. After dinner, we played games including Blokus, Chess, Rummikub and Yahtzee Turbo. We stayed up way too late playing games and trying to decide our approach to the black friday sales. We decided we would attend the Staples sale in nearby Cedar City and have Jared(Chris' brother)snatch some items at Radio Shack. We purchased a few items, including a new sony DSC-s700. We should have probably read reviews about this camera before purchasing it, however thus far we have been reasonable satisfied with our purchase. Following the purchase of the camera we decided to try it out. Below are some pictures we took this weekend.


These pictures are of my family at an IHOP in the Salt Lake Area on the day after Thanksgiving. We traveled from Southern Utah and met my Brother Mike who lives near Logan, UT. We made the trip as David and Rahel had to fly out to Pittsburgh the next morning.



The next day, after David and Rahel flew out, We traveled to Mike and Tammy's House. Here are some silly pictures of Cory(yellow), Britton(on top of Cory), Megan, Jaden(both standing on fireplace). We also have Dylan, Makenzy, and Shannon.





After leaving Mike and Tammy's today we stopped to see Cheree and Mark and their children: Tyler, Madison, Jacob and Kaden. Above is Tyler with his superhero "Hands".

Here is Kaden dressed as Batman / Cowboy. This term was from his own words.

This is Jacob behind that Spiderman mask.

Madison didn't really want a picture taken, but she was bribed with fudge.



Here Kaden is, our nephew, showing his cello talent. It was so fun to hear and see him play. Here he is playing his song.



Here Madison is, our niece, showing her violin talent. She is playing some of her Christmas songs. She is so talented.
