The snow wasn't good for making a snowman, but they still could make snow angels and have a snowball fight.
We just hung out for the rest of the day and then enjoyed a delicious Thanksgiving meal made by Jon's parents and sisters. It was kind of nice that I didn't have to cook anything this year!
I am definitely thankful for these 4 people and am so excited to be adding another one to our already crazy clan!
SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS MAN (and the fact that he tells me that I am beautiful even when I am big and pregnant)!!!
The day after Thanksgiving Delta always has a festival of trees where Santa comes and you get to walk around and see all of the trees that people have decorated. It's a good way to get us all in the Christmas spirit!
Grandpa Ron taught Nathan how to play the trombone. Nathan was actually pretty good and may have discovered a new talent!
We walked down to the 7-Eleven and got hot chocolate since it was so cold outside. Jake and Max just wanted chocolate milk, but Nathan was loving the hot chocolate!
Grandma Lorelei saved 25 bags of leaves for the boys to jump in! This has become somewhat of a tradition when we come to Delta this time of year and the boys always love it!
Burying Dad with leaves!
We forgot to play Pin the Hat on the Turkey on Thanksgiving so we busted it out the day after and everyone got a turn to play- even baby Eleanor! I think Nathan was the closest, though!
The day always ends with a Christmas light parade, but sadly the parade only lasted about 5 minutes this year since there weren't very many entries. The boys didn't seem to mind especially since Santa was on the last float! Afterwards we walked around City Park and looked at all of the lights until we couldn't handle the cold anymore!
Saturday morning Heidi, Kathryn, Eleanor, Jon and I all headed up to Provo and Salt Lake while the boys stayed in Delta with Genevieve and Grandma and Grandpa. We dropped Kathryn and Eleanor off in Provo and ran to the BYU bookstore and then drove up to Salt Lake to go to the BYU/Utah game. Even though it was FREEZING cold, it was still such a fun game until the very last play. We seriously couldn't believe that BYU lost when they dominated the whole game. So sad, especially when we had to watch all of the obnoxious Utah fans celebrate and get obnoxious texts from our one Utah fan friend (you'll see the light someday, Josie)!
Feeling pretty confident at this point...
Grandma let Nathan paint these Give Thanks letters which he thought was so cool that she would trust him with such a big project!
Sunday morning we went to church and then of course had to have an after church photo shoot with Grandma's big stuffed Santa!
Aunt Heidi and Aunt Genevieve were so good to play with the boys and spend a lot of time with them while we were there. The boys love them so much and Jon and I love getting a little break!
Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa, for such a fun weekend! We love you a lot and can't wait until we get to see you again!!!

HAHAHA!! Don't hold your breath. You know you can count on me for years to come to send you obnoxious texts during the BYU/UT football game.
Your boys are so cute in their church outfit, and FINALLY I got to see a picture of your pregnant belly :) Can't wait for you to catch up on the 2010 timeline and know what you're up to these days!
I agree with the previous comment--it was good to see your belly! So cute. Just think--you're almost there. Looks like Delta was a hit. Sometime we'll have to meet up and eat in Cedar sometime on your way through.
Wait. Why is Nathan wearing an apron in that Thanksgiving dinner pic? And why does my dad look like he's just been mugged? too funny. It was so great to hang out with you! I really think it's lame that we aren't closer!
