Some Happy Holidays Around Here

We had a really wonderful Thanksgiving this year. Christian's parents and sister, Carly, flew out to spend the week with us here in Utah. Despite the chilly and snowy weather, we ate at some great restaurants, went to Harry Potter, and did some serious holiday shopping. For Thanksgiving, we got together at Grandma and Grandpa Weggeland's for a big family dinner. Grandma Hancock was there as well. The food was wonderful and we had a really nice time catching up with family.




 This is Christian, Carly, and some of the Weggeland cousins. If the one in the middle looks a little stiff, it's because it is a cardboard cut out of cousin Nate, who is currently in Brazil on a mission for our church. It's his first Thanksgivng away from home and so they wanted him to know they were thinking of him :)



 The kids love to play on Grandma Weggeland's baby grand piano. Aunt Carly showed them some of her piano skills and they were very impressed. 




We also celebrated Anna's birthday this week. She turned two, which is crazy!




I forgot to get the forks out, but the kids didn't mind.
 





The day after Thanksgiving we got busy putting up the Christmas decorations! The house looks very festive and I am very happy. The kids had a great time trying to help as we set up the tree. Here they are looking in the box for more pieces of tree.
