Thanksgiving in Utah

This Thanksgiving we spent in Utah. It was the first time all of the kids had been together in years because of school, missions, and getting married and moving away.

Here are the grandkids!
Makena has been asking to go on a school bus for so long. She thinks she is big enough to go to school and should be riding a bus to school. I think she is growing fast enough as it is. Let's not speed things up anymore than we need to please! Well when we were in Utah, Makena's grandpa took her to go on a school bus. She was so excited!!!!

Afterwards she said, "but mom I didn't get to go to school" One day baby. One day.

She had also been waiting for the snow. We took her snow clothes in hopes of snow and she was so excited when the snow came. At this point we did not have any in Oklahoma.

And of course, Chris got to get together with all the boys and play some Football.

Once There Was A Snowman!

I know! I know! I have been MIA for a while now. I knew it would be a while, but I think because I was so far behind, I wasn't even trying to catch up. So here we go! We were part of that storm that just made it's way up through the Midwest. Makena was so excited!!!!! She has been waiting for the snow to come our way. She had a snow suit and really wanted to put it to good use. She has wanted to go outside to play everyday. We are out there for hours and frozen and she still does not want to come in. When it first snowed, the snow was to dry to build a snowman, but today when the sun came out, we were able to go outside and build.

Our first step out the front door. We had to go sideways because the wind had blown a 3ft. drift in front of the door.
She really is a snow baby. Must have been the first couple years in Logan.
Chris was showing off the drift in front of the garage.

It was almost as tall as Makena. She loved it!

Dad and Makena chillin' on the snow bank!

I will try to add many more pictures in the next few weeks and catch up!
