Thanksgiving Week w/some Judi's

Vaughn and Marianne and Mike and Maggie and their kids came to spend Thanksgiving with us. It was really fun and busy.

After getting the turkey in the oven on Thanksgiving morning, Maggie and I went to the YMCA and tried to do ZUMBA. We burned a few calories and laughed a lot.

The kids made these fabulous turkeys while we were getting Thanksgiving dinner ready.



Jack and Jace played trucks for a little while.

Jack, Austin and Grandpa played HOURS of basketball.  I never snapped a picture though.  Jack LOVED it!

Avery set up a dancing booth across the street and sold "dances" for a while ($2 a dance). They both made over $4.

Kate and Avery mid-dance for Mike.

 The day after Thanksgiving Marianne, Maggie and I got up at 4:00 am and headed to Santa Fe to do a little shopping. We got to Walmart a little late to get the really good deals, but did a bunch of shopping and were home by 8:30.

Then we went to or usual Christmas Tree cutting place (near Abiquiu -- an hour away) to get a Christmas tree.

Ty wasn't so sure about walking around in the dirt. He got used to it (and got really dirty).

We found a tree pretty fast, so Maggie and I were keeping the kids busy feeding them goldfish and looking for rocks.

Everyone loves Grandpa (and Grandma too).

The TREE!

On our way home we tried a new road (which ended up not being passable since there was a creek going through it), but we found this near old house in the middle of nowhere.



Saturday was the BYU/U of U football game, so Maggie, Marianne and I took the Avery, Kate, Jace, and Quinton to Bandelier to do a little hiking. Ty, Jack and Austin stayed with the big guys to watch the game.

Lovely Maggie and Jace

Cute Avery!

We looked out the window and noticed Vaughn in this position.  It ended up that he was talking to Jack and Austin who were playing in the storm drain.

Thanks for coming everyone!  Good company.  Good food.  Good times!
