Christmas Tree Hunt
This year we went to cut our own tree down to decorate for the house. We drove about 45 minutes southwest to cut it down. It was cold, but everyone had fun. It had snowed that morning just enough to feel a little wintery while looking for our tree. We looked for over an hour and finally found one on the top of the mountain. Ava didn't like the cold at all, we were all walking and hiking, she was being carried so she wasn't getting warm. We took our brother in law Drew and nephew Tanner to go with us to help out with the hunt and the tree.

All lot of us went to swim at the hotel Brad's parents were staying at. Everyone knows that you can still swim in Arizona in the month of November!! It was a little windy to make it a bit colder when you got out of the pool, but kids really don't care about things like that.
Thanksgiving in Arizona
We went to Arizona for Thanksgiving this year. We stayed with Brad's sister and met up with the rest of his family that was coming from out of town too. Wonderful food and ate too much. Great weather (as always in the winter there). We saw some friends and hung out with the family. We got to take the kids to the zoo, mesa temple Christmas lights, had a bonfire and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows, and the kids had a great time visiting with their cousins. We had a talent show after Thanksgiving Dinner which was fun. Everybody did something..song, trick, poem... Our Family performed a song that Alyssa taught us about Thanksgiving that she did for her school performance.
Peggy surprised all the girls with a cute Thanksgiving scrapbook for the weekend. So we worked on that one of the nights. Its nice to have a book all done, now we just have to get some pictures in it. Thanks peggy you are so creative.
