Thanksgiving Holiday!


Our little family just returned from a much needed Thanksgiving break. Seth and Jessica were the perfect hosts, sharing their hilarious children while entertaining us, Grandma Christensen, Mom and Dad, Sarah and Tyson, and Brian. It was a great release from the daily grind. We loved being with family and creating new memories.



The week included a splendid Thanksgiving dinner, videogames, basketball, lots of eating, volleyball, playing with kids, etc. We saw the movie Twilight. Brittney has a mondo junior high-type crush on Edward Cullen, of course, and this movie just added more kindling to the fire. Sigh...how can I keep up with a guy that can climb pine trees like a bloomin' monkey?


Actually, we all agreed that the movie represented the book well and was enjoyable. Even Brian and I sat through it with out too much squirming.


This week also included some fun competition. Tyson and I shared the NCAA football award on the PS2, while my dad surprising won the one-on-one basketball game award (sorry Brian). Seth won the get-mad-and-pick-a-fight-with your-brother award (Brian won the fight however--sorry Seth).




Brittney and I performed the song Lucky for the dreaded Thanksgiving program. Brian, who taught himself the guitar over the summer, gave us some much needed accompaniment.



It was a grand ole' time in St. George. We'll throw on some more pictures and possibly some video of the program in the near future. We hope everyone else had an excellent Thanksgiving break!

Hey guys! Thanks so much for coming! We love your post, and we loved having you guys here. The kids are already going through withdrawls and whining for Austin and various aunts & uncles. :)

Thanks for finding me! The internet makes the world such a small place . . .
