thanksgiving

we spent thanksgiving in utah with the tullis side. kai did not want turkey, so dave made him his very own hen. with his hen and his seven layered jello, he was one happy kid! it was really fun to be with dave's family. everyone was there except our sister-in-law, holly. i can't remember the last time we did dinner with everyone at dave's house. my goal was to taste the dinner. sometimes i eat, but i'm so involved feeding everyone else that i realize i didn't even taste it. i can attest that the turkey was fantastic!

the next day, the kids helped grandpa haws set up his santa collection and his village. this is a tradition they look forward to.



before heading back to flagstaff, we stopped at the aquarium. kai is in a huge panguin phase so we thought we would check out some real panguins. it was a great way to end our quick trip. i love hanging out as a family...and the panguins were cool too.
