Thanksgiving 2013 - and some other stuff

We had the pleasure of having Fogg's brother, Dale, his wife Georgette and their daughter (our niece) Gabby come for Thanksgiving this year.  They bought tickets like 10 months ago, they were so cheap!  We had a great time hanging out, taking them around town and skiing.  The kids had such a blast playing with each other, all of them were in a depression after they left.  Here are a few pictures of their time here.

 A trip to Smith and Edwards.  We were there for H.O.U.R.S.  and it was fun!

 Uncle Dale and Reed found some funny hats.

 So did Nora.

 One morning, Nora snuggling up with Uncle Dale, so precious.

 Our Thanksgiving "feast"

 On Thanksgiving morning, we went skiing for the first time this year.  Lala got Reed up for his frist run on his new skis!

 Nora skiing for real for the first time.  She did great for a 2 year old!  She shuffled forward then looked up and screamed "I ski!"  Adorable.

 Nora's first lift ride with mom and dad!

 A true proud moment for Fogg and I - all four of us skiing at the same time.

 The whole fam damily.

 The kids dressed up for Thanksgiving, not sure about Reed's hand gesture.

That's about it for Thanksgiving.  We had a great time just hanging out at home, running some errands, doing some activities.  

Before Thanksgiving, Mom and I went to a Michael Buble concert.  It was simply amazing.

 We were soooo close to him.  I even touched his hand.  Dreamy.

At the end they dropped heart shaped confetti to "All You Need is Love".  Awesome.

Even before that, we had a nice weekend getaway with our friends James and Michelle.  Just one night up in PC and some nice dinners out.  It was a great getaway.

 At Grappa.

 James was peaking through this display of ribs.

And then I have some random other shots for you:

 Nora put on every single piece of jewelry at the same time.  Cuteness.

 We love good friends that love our kids.  This is Katelyn, she is a babysitter and great friend to our kids.

 We went to the Christmas Light parade in Ogden last Saturday.  Nora was enamored with the parade and lights, this is what her face looked like the entire time.

 We also got to watch some fireworks.

Reed the sweety.  He grabbed Lucy's hand while we were walking back to the car, so sensitive.  She loved holding his hand.

And last but not least, my adorable girl throwing a fit - as usual.  She pretty much cries about everything nowadays but it's still cute.  

Well, that's what I've got for today, sorry for the super late update on pretty much the past two weeks, it's been crazy!  Bring on Christmas, the whole house is excited for it - especially Reed. He turns on the tree lights every day and asks every single morning if it's Christmas yet.  

Ho Ho Ho!
