Thanksgiving Weekend


For Thanksgiving this year we stayed close to home. We spent it with Jon's sister and his parents. It was a very low key day. Of course I forgot to get a picture of my handsome boys in their nice close. So here are the only pictures I did get on that day. 

Jon carving his smoked turkey. It was AMAZING!
 Here is my pumpkin swirl cheesecake. It turned out great if I do say so myself. I'd never made a cheesecake before so I was a little nervous.

On Friday, we went out with the boys to find a small tree for Jeni (Jon's sis). While we were there Jon ran into one of his good friends from high school. She told us that her parents were doing a huge house lighting that night and for us to come. Well, she wasn't kidding.... it was huge. He had an entire program: singers, some one dressed up like the Grinch, hot cocoa, etc. Here are a few pics of the house.






My 3 stooges...

On Saturday we got together with my sister Melissa and her family. In the morning Scott and Jon took the 4 oldest boys to go shooting. They had a blast. After nap time, we met back up to do some climbing at Dixie Rock.
 Here's all 9 of the kiddos

 We went through some narrow alcoves. That would be baby Violet (almost 4 months old) riding on her daddy's shoulders.

Jon decided that instead of going with the rest of us, he would climb up between the two cliffs. There he is at the top.
