THANKSGIVING 2012 ACTIVITIES
Our first night was spent doing some dancing with Hyrum and his friends.
It was so fun for me, mom, to watch Melissa and Hyrum dance.
Melissa has taken a lot of dance classes at BYU and Hyrum is starting to do the same.
We took our traditional visit to "The Square" to see the Christmas lights!
This year, we didn't lose Mason! Good job family!
Of course, a highlight was cooking our Thanksgiving Dinner!!!
Alison and Bethany made cheesecake
Joseph made a pecan pie cheesecake
David and Mason played "Wild Kratts" -- a PBS show about animals
Rebecca licked all the spoons anyone would give her!
Mason still loves the iphone
Melissa and Rachel took over the pie baking!!!
That was a big "yahoo" for mom!
Mason and Daniel helped mom with the rolls
Hyrum is the mashed potato man with
Melissa and Bethany checking the taste of his recipe!
Dad takes care of the "turkey lurkey."
David was anxious to eat and someone helped him pass
the time with the camera!

Finally, it is time to gather and time to eat!!!
We are so, so blessed!
AFTER that delicious meal, we had to work it off
so we played a fun big game of "Kick Ball!"
If the dried grass stickers hadn't crawled up our socks and pant legs, it would have been perfect!!! Mason shows us a "sticker."
Thanksgiving isn't complete without some crafts, puzzles, and down time.
Daniel makes a turkey "beady buddy" while mom works a puzzle.
Robert enjoys some of that down time on his itouch.
