This last week...

...has been a busy one! First of all I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We sure did. Scott's older sister and her family are now living close by and it was great to be with them and others of Scott's family. It wasn't an extremely large crowd but we sure ended up with a lot of food! Besides the basic Turkey and mashed potatoes I think everyone had their own dish that they always had growing up at Thanksgiving and had to have there. I brought banana bread(from Annalise's food blog), jello, and a ham. Everything was good!

David in his favorite place the day before Thanksgiving after my walk.

Heidi holding Sydney. Sydney LOVES her aunt Heidi! She's always so good for her! Scott with his Grandma. It was great to see her there!Out of all the pictures I took of these two this is the only one where Russ has a normal (kind of) face. lol.We showed David the trampoline in the back yard and even though it took him a while to warm up to it, he didn't want to get off even though it was like 20 degrees and dark!
Jumping with his cousin Naomi here.Fun picture! Thanks Hilary!

Then on Friday we left David behind at his cousins house, took Scott's boss' truck, and drove to Utah just for the day so we could pick up my sister's couch that she didn't need anymore, and also so I could take pictures of my cousin Stephanie's new baby. It was fun to see some of my cousins that I hadn't seen in over 4 years! Because I was busy taking pictures for Stephanie's baby I forgot to take pictures of anyone else, but that's ok. But here's a picture of Auntie Annalise with Sydney while I was taking pictures. Thanks for entertaining her! Once I got started taking pictures (actually I think a little before) Scott disappeared to the theater room with most of the guys to watch the Bourne Ultimatum. Saturday Scott and David went out with Russ and Hilary, and Rick and Heidi and kids to chop down a christmas tree in the Targhee National forest (permit of course). I opted to stay behind with Sydney because Russ and Hilary went last year and said there was 3 feet of snow and that it took them 3 hours of tromping in it to find a decent tree. Turns out they were able to find another spot with almost no snow and trees right near by. Oh well, Sydney and I had a good time and I was able to get some things done. Like get Scott's christmas present!

Scott came home with a doctor suess tree and we put it up with the lights last night and are going to do the ornaments tonight for FHE. I love decorating the tree! I love this holiday season! I'll post pictures of it later.
