We got home that night in time for me to go shopping with my mom and Lynnette at the Black Thursday mayhem at Wal-Mart. I think moving Black Friday to Thanksgiving night is so completely annoying that if it wasn't for the fact that I always need things that go on sale, I would totally ban shopping on Black Thursday. However, I got what I needed/wanted!! And it was kind of nice to not be up at 4 AM. So much for teaching Wal-Mart a thing or two. Friday night we went to Dustin's Grandpa's annual Christmas dinner and had another fun evening of visiting with family. Dustin's dad and step-mom were in town, so they came over and helped us decorate our Christmas tree. Somehow I didn't take any pictures. But here we are today in front of the tree.
Yesterday, we took our kids on a hike and watched the sunset over the temple near our house. It was a lovely afternoon. I love the temple. And I love my family.

I love holidays with lots of family! Sounds like you guys had a good Thanksgiving. (btw, I love the jeans you have on in the roller skating picture - so cute!) I miss being able to take our family to temple square - I'm glad we did it a lot while we were still there so my girls can hopefully have memories of it.
My sis-in-law and her little family are in Detroit, MI right now. It was a 13 hour drive for them - so really not too close (but closer than Idaho/Utah). They will probably be living there through December. It was so good to have family with us. It was crowded! But to me that's what makes a holiday feel like a holiday - lots of cousins and family in close quarters.
