Thanksgiving in Utah

....was so much fun!  My family all met in Utah- a good meeting spot since my parents are back East, Tyson and ourselves are in CA, and Shane and Dallin are in Provo.  It was so much fun having cold weather and getting to bundle up in winter clothes.  The kids all had so much fun together (unless of course they were hitting or stealing toys from each other). It was crazy at times- especially for us b/c Jack wanted so badly to keep up with the other kids, but he is at the 'victim' end of the group, so we have to keep a close eye on him.  

The first day we went to the Thanksgiving Point petting zoo.  It was Jack's first time- and he was in HEAVEN!  We couldn't wipe the smile off of his face as he got to interact with all of these furry creatures.  Best of all, he got to ride on a pony!

Here are the boys after a feisty Turkey Bowl game...

The Beautiful Table where we ate til we had to unbutton our pants...

After stuffing ourselves with a delicious meal, passed around the corn jar, and played a fun trivia game, the girls escaped to see TWILIGHT!  I was so excited, went into it expecting the worst, and came out loving it! I would completely see it again.  (I'm all talked out of it so I'll just leave it at that).

We also took a ride on the Heber Creeper.  During the Holidays, they turn the train into the North Pole- decked out with lights, holly, elves, hot chocolate, cookies, Mrs. Clause, storetime (The Polar Express of course), singing caroles, and of course a visit from Santa himself.  It was so much fun- we BARELY made it on time- but definitely worth the rush leading up to it.
