Thanksgiving

Prepare yourself, there are LOTS of pictures!

After Halloween, I told the kids we had to throw away their pumpkins.

Result: Major meltdowns

So we constructed these little turkey friends (thank you Pinterest),

and as you can see, they were super thrilled!

I think they finally smiled 2 days later.

 We had a fabulous Thanksgiving down at the Wheatley's, in good old Draper.

 I made the girlies matching skirts

 Love this one!

Oh, she is a cutie!

As always, my Mom had quite the spread

 The Pie Contest

My Strawberry pie didn't win, let's just say it was a little "soggy"

We did a little parade watching, and the kids "freaked" when Santa arrived!

Loved watching Brooke play with her 2 Grandpa Wheatley's

All the kiddies!

We went a turkey huntin

Check out that dimple!

The kids opened a few Christmas gifts from Grandma & Grandpa Wheatley since we all won't be together for Christmas this year.

Jack and Josh got BYU cars, excited doesn't even begin to describe.

On Saturday we went to Tea Time with Santa at the Grand America Hotel

Before we left I thought we would snag a few photos


I adore this one!

The Grand America was all decked out!

And the Tea Room was pretty darn fancy

While we were waiting for Santa, some huge Penguin came in

Ivy was confused about the Penguin too

The whole fam minus Katherine and Taurean.
(We miss you guys)

The kids got to sit on Santa's lap and talk to him, and he also read them all a story.

It was so magical!

Whoever has the pictures of my kids on Santa's lap, I would LOVE YOU FOREVER if you sent them my way :)

It was a great way to get into the holiday spirit!

Thanks Grandpa and Grandma Wheatley!
