Thanksgiving highlights

We were lucky enough to spend the whole week of Thanksgiving in Utah. We had a great time and even made a last minute impromptu visit to the Van De Graaffs in Boise. After we had sufficiently drooled, oooohed & ahhhed, and explored every inch of their amazing new house, we played with cousins until we were exhausted, and headed back to Utah 24 hours later.

Other highlights of the week included a visit with Ashley at BYU for lunch at the cougareat and shopping at the bookstore, snow storm and snowmen building, awesome food for the big day, and participating in the 2nd annual TURKEY SHOOT, a visit with grandpa Anderson, hanging with G'ma Karyl and G'pa Boyd, a visit to the TREEHOUSE Museum and going out to dinner with family.

And one very important event not to be clumped with any of the others: Jared and I went to the BYU vs. U of U game and watched the Cougars pull it off in over time!! Such a great game and fun time!!

Thanks for the nice comment about your visit to Boise. We loved seeing your family, and only wished you could have stayed longer. Your week in Utah was sure busy but full of fun. Hopefully we can see you all again soon!

Glad you had a great Thanksgiving trip. I love the picture of the snow and the tree. Snow is so pretty when you don't have to drive around in it. My girls have Hanna's dress too! Love it.
