Cookies for Santa

Blayne decided the other day that we needed to make Santa some cookies, hoping that the plate full of cookies would make Santa come quicker. I made some sugar cookie dough and let Blayne do the rest. He rolled out the dough but didn't want to use the cookie cutters, he thought that a big glob of dough would be just as good. So, he put in on the cookie sheet and we baked them. I let him keep them for a while until he forgot then carefully got rid of them. He was pretty proud of his culinary masterpiece. I'm sure Santa would have loved them.

So Thankful

We have so much to be grateful for this year. I feel so thankful for my wonderful family. We have so much fum together. This year Holly and her family came to visit from California. We haven't seen her or her cute little boys since last December. It was fun to see how much they have grown. We had a pretty low key Thanksgiving Day. Blayne was able to play some football with Stephen and Bristol. (thankful for the warm weather)

I took some pictures of the kiddos. (thankful for cameras I don't have the best memory) Then we ate sandwiches for our big Thanksgiving dinner. Holly's family made it late on Thursday, so we ate our traditional Thanksgiving dinner Friday afternoon. (thankful for food, although I ate way to much) What would Thanks giving be with out a trip to BYU to see the BEAN museum. This has become a place we visit often. We had just gone the week before for our Saturday family time. Still we never get tired looking at the animals. They never move so you are sure to see every animal.

We had a great time over our long weekend. I love spending the extra time with my family. It seems like there is never enough time to get everything done and sometimes I am so busy I forget how important it is to spend time with those I love.
