Thanksgiving

This year we spent Thanksgiving with the Larsen family. My food assignment was yams. I have never made yams so I was a little nervous. But never fear my wonderful mother came to my rescue and taught me how to make wonderful mashed yams. They were so tasty and of course I forgot to take a pictures. Thanks mom, I couldn't have done such a good job without you. There are so many of us in the Larsen family that we rented 2 rooms at a convention type center called My Noah's in Lindon. It was so fun to have everyone together and enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving meal.

We have a family tradition of going up and staying in hotel the weekend after Thanksgiving. We got see the Lights at Temple Square, draw names for who we are buying Christmas Gifts for in our family, see a movie, shop and play games. I think this is one of my favorite family traditions that we have. Friday we always go to dinner and see the lights. This year we had dinner at the Lion House, it was pretty good, but not my all time favorite. Kenny and I did not go see the lights because it got really cold as soon as the sun went down and we didn't want Mason out in the cold longer than he had to be. My family was great and took Kels with them so she could enjoy the lights. The next morning we wen to the movies and saw Tangled. I loved the movie! It was so cute. Mason even let me enjoy the entire movie, he was so good. We also enjoyed the BYU/Utah football game, and lots of game playing. It was a great way to end the Thanksgiving Holiday.

We had so much fun this Thanksgiving and made us all extremely grateful for all that we have been blessed with. I am extremely grateful for my family and our new little addition, I didn't realize how much he could and would add to our little family. I wouldn't change anything for the world. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
