Lights

At the beginning of this month we had the fun chance to meet up with our "Chicago" friends for dinner and to celebrate a new baby who was expected soon. It was lots of fun & Noah even did somewhat okay at the restaurant. Eating out is hard for 2 year olds not sure how to make it easier. After dinner we decided to visit temple square & see the lights since we had already made the drive down. Noah loves seeing Christmas lights when we drive places so we figured he would love the lights at temple square. In our calculation we forgot the large amount of water present in all the fountains. Very pretty to look at but also very tempting to a 2 year old. Our visit didn't last long as Noah kept trying to "swim" which resulted in him being strapped in the stroller which ticked him off and caused a huge tantrum. We quickly left temple square with our screaming toddler, maybe next year he'll like it. On our way to the car he did calm down whenever a horse and carriage would pass us. He would cheer and clap for them, we think he thought it was a parade. Enjoy a few pictures from our quick light trip.

Thanksgiving

See as it is almost Christmas I figured I should blog about Thanksgiving. We had 2 wonderful meal this year. One when Mark was home, Mom & Dad H let us invade their house/kitchen it was a wonderful day. I cooked my first turkey, with lots of help & patience from Mom H. It was so yummy, I hope I can remember how to make it that yummy again :)
Granddad, Grandma and Great Aunt Marianne joined us also. We had lots of yummy food and great company.
For the actual Holiday we Noah & I joined the Zwick family at Mom & Dad H's house. It was again a wonderful meal, way to much food but worth the stuffed feeling.
After a wonderful meal we traveled to Mom & Dad N's house for the weekend. Noah got to hand out with Grandma, Aunt Jessie and the twins while I worked. The twins are growing and changing. The pictures are from thanksgiving weekend.
Attached you will find a random array of pictures, my phone makes it hard to post them in order & with captions so good luck figuring it out :)
