Thanksgiving

Charlie's hands on Sunday. Healed up some from falling at recess on Friday.

Not sure why Toby is spelling "cemetary" out of blocks.

Toby threw up and took a day off school.

Weird cloud, the only one in the sky.

Getting all the seeds out of the pomegranates.

Sit-up competition.

Messing with Paul's podcasting equipment.

Toby's just barely tall enough to add things he wants to the shopping list. I wasn't sure what he meant by chocolate squares, but I found something that fit the bill.

Another cute block creation.

Toby likes to draw lunch trays, since he often takes school lunch.

Grace took these three to enjoy the Bountiful Main Street tree lighting.

Toby never passes up a chance to bake!

Toby invented 4 games, complete with rules. 

Charlie out in the falling snow. 

Harvest salad with dinner.

Temple baptisms.

Gaming table out for the weekend. Scrabble.

Catan.

Getting ready.

Yahtzee.

Note on the girls' door so Toby will stop going in unattended.

At the Asian grocery store. Little does Danny know, they sell Spam at Wal-Mart.

Filipino food! We got chicken adobo, beef afritada, and lumpia.

We bought Toby some trays to eat off of at home, since he loves his school tray lunch so much!

We finally bought a treadmill after thinking about it for many months. 

It has been very popular.

Ready to make pies! We had Charlie recreate a photo from 2 years ago, since he still wears the same sweatshirt.

Haha, he's grown A LOT in two years!

Pie party!

Chocolate pudding pie team.

Pumpkin team.

Cherry cheesecake.

Peanut butter pie.

He loved it!!

Alice's fancy new Christmas nails.

Grace started a sewing project, then the machine had a ton of problems.

Plans and lists for Thanksgiving food preps. 

Lego time.

Paul actually had a chance to sit down and play the piano for a little while.

Charlie loves to help prep the turkey. He made herb butter the night before.

He's not afraid to put his hand all the way under the skin and shove the butter in there.

Thanksgiving morning.

More treadmill time. Toby always has supervision, to avoid him being too "speedy", he says.

Keeping watch over the mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes. He loves the oven timer SO much.

Sneaking a delicious snack.

Our neighbors brought cinnamon rolls over the night before, so we didn't have to worry about breakfast.

Paul's turkey socks.

All fancy!

Ironing the table runners.

Alice designed the centerpieces with our Thanksgiving decorations.

Yummy food, with so many helpers!

We forgot about the stuffing that was staying warm in the microwave until the very end of the meal...

So thankful for this great family:)

Putting away the Thanksgiving wreath.

Time to put up Christmas!

Pause for pie.

Toby slept in the Christmas tree box all night.

Pumpkin pie for breakfast.

More Catan.

Artwork the kids made in St. Louis last Thanksgiving with Aunt Whitney.

Reading a Christmas book by the tree (not yet decorated).
