Thanksgiving Week
Baptisms at the St. George temple.
So fun to have such a line up of baptisms. Cassie and I witnessed and then we all did confirmations. Love the St. George temple.
Swig Drinks on the way home - Elphaba and Galinda inspired drinks for the exciting WICKED finale. We watched the first movie with Megan in our home theater room on Monday night and then went to the theaters for the second movie after Thanksgiving. Loved it!!
It was fun to have everyone home for Thanksgiving Week. Cassie was 34 weeks pregnant so we were so glad she and Ryan could make the trip while it still safe for the pregnancy. Katie and Taylor drove down from Orem. Emily flew in from Chicago - with almost her first semester under her belt. Wonderful to have Megan home from her mission and the boys still at home. Chris and I were really so grateful to have the whole crew together.
We invited the Walton Fam to Thanksgiving and were happy to have Grandma, Brian, and Mike and Carly and girls for the long weekend.
Lots of games, movies, walks, puzzles, treats, hot tub and pickleball.
Hanging out, doing puzzles, working on projects and prepping food.
The Azul Tournament
Ryan designed an AZUL tournament for us over the break. For the first game we had four tables of four players going at the same time, which was so fun!! Megan reluctantly agreed to be in the tournament and to her dismay, kept winning game after game. Haha Once you lost once you were put in the losers bracket. The Final Four: Chris, Katie, Megan (who all lost one game and made their way back in the losers bracket) and Matt who won every single game he played! The Tournament Champion: MATT

Early Christmas
We celebrated an early Christmas with Ryan and Cassie while they were here over Thanksgiving. A few highlights: new shoes for both of them, light blue Geometry towels, Gameboy lego from the boys to Ryan, new shirts for Ry, snacks and money towards a new suit for Ryan.
Family Pictures
Brian and Grandma were nice enough to come on over to the park to help take pictures. We were laughing as we approached the park. It was SO CROWED. Everyone had the same idea and were practically dressed in the same coordinating outfits. Still, we wandered to an open spot and it looks like we had the place to ourselves. Fun to have Brian and Grandma in some of the pics too!
Hiking at Pioneer Park
Love walking around the Cactus Gardens up by Pioneer Park. Such a beautiful day and so nice to get out of the house and get some fresh air.
