Temple Square Lights

 Last week we stole a couple hours of family time and took the kids downtown.  We saw Santa at City Creek (the BEST Santa EVER!!), had dinner, and wandered around temple square to see the lights.  It was cold and snowy... but the kids were total troopers.  We dragged them around for 3 hours and had a great time!  We finished off the night with a slice of "Great Wall of Chocolate" from PF Changs. 

That lasted about 2 seconds.  But so worth it!

Thanksgiving... and the day after migraine. Bleh.

Happy Thanksgiving!  This year we hosted the Skaggs (my) family at our house.  I think we need a bigger house... lol!
Madison got up early to help us stuff the Turkey.  She likes the gross jobs... go figure.

So... the stuffing recipe asked for 2 cups of butter.  Wow.  Worth EVERY bit!

Biggest bowl of mashed potatoes EVER!!!  Mark cooked up 12 huge potatoes... and half of them are still in my fridge... Now what!!??

Living room feast!  A great photo of everyone.  Okay... maybe not!

YUM.

STILL working on this project.

Who's idea was this anyway?  Oh yeah.  The hubby. We came.  We saw.  We left.

And then I woke up with the worst migraine ever.  Today I am thankful for AWESOME kids who hold down the fort so this mama can sleeeeeep!
