Pilgrim Hats and way too much food!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We started ours off with making these cute Pilgrim hats. It was actually quite funny because Mac came home from work on Wednesday to a frustrated wife because I couldn't get them to look quite right. Mr. Domestic came to my rescue once again and made them look perfect. I know it's a little late now, but in case you want to make them next year...all you need are mini Reese's Peanut Butter cups, ginger snap cookies, and the icing.

We had such a fun and relaxing Thanksgiving this year! We left Thursday morning to Talmage to stay with Mac's parents for the weekend. Everyone made it except for his brother Darrin and sister-in-law Emily. : ( We can't wait to see them at Christmas! I think we all gained a few pounds because we just ate, played games (King, Queen, Peasant!), and watched movies. Oh except Dian and I did a little scrapbooking and made some cute cards! We were sad to have to leave, but we're already looking forward to Christmas!

GO BYU!


This past weekend we made a visit to good 'ol Provo! We hadn't been back to Provo since we were first married, about 2 1/2 years ago. It was a great sunshiny day where we enjoyed watching the Cougars beat San Diego State and even got in a little Christmas shopping. Connor is not one of the sit in your laps for very long kind of boys, so we were extremely pleased when he happily sat on our laps throughout the entire game! Of course we let him stretch his legs over half time.

Dragons and Scarecrows

To start off our Halloween festivities we made scarecrow sugar cookies for friends and neighbors this year. Sorry the picture is a little blurry, but you get the idea. The night before Halloween the elementary school around the corner had a big Halloween carnival for the kids, so we had to take advantage of dressing Connor up in his costume...he's so cute! Connor's favorite part of the night was sliding down the huge blow-up slide (Mac and I took turns going down with him and yes we were the only adults! What cool parents our little boy has!) wink*


Connor did so good with his costume, no tugging or whining, he was a pro!
