Thankful Thanksgiving

We have much to be thankful for this holiday season with all of our wonderful family and friends.

For the Thanksgiving weekend we went to the BYU Paleontology Museum or how my children refer to every museum on BYU campus, "The Dinosaur Bean Museum of Art."  That is BYU's three main museums combined all into one.  The boys loved the dinosaurs!  Elizabeth was scared out of her mind by the dinosaurs and eventually found a bone to cuddle up on to be safe.

Since it is a small place and with few people there, we let them roar a bit like dinosaurs until they got in trouble from a more responsible parent than myself.

  Elizabeth loved the rock collection, specifically the sulfur that was yellow.  She had to go back and look at it multiple times while there.

We had a great Thanksgiving Dinner with Charles' family on Wednesday evening.  The food was superb!  It was wonderful as always to talk and play games with the family.

Thursday morning we all went out shooting with Annette's cousins.  We shot at soda cans which was a blast, pun intended :)  It was fun to have a few new people to come shooting with us.  We set up the blown up cans on tall weeds so that we could continue to shoot at the cans.

The Hatch-Austin Thanksgiving Dinner was made almost entirely by the Austins (my sister's in-laws) who I think we should invite every year so they can always make it.  It was delicious!

Saturday morning we had a Christmas party with Charles' other side of the family.  It was delicious and very fun.  It was good to see everyone again.

What a great Thanksgiving!  Here is a pretty sunset.
