Thanksgiving in Utah

So, once again, I am HORRIBLE at taking pictures.  We went to Utah for Thanksgiving and because Michael was off work we were able to go for a week, which we have never been able to do before.  So you will get to see pics of what I did take and narration of all the good stuff I didn't capture.

On the way to Logan we stayed in Provo with Michael's childhood friend Tyler.  It was a lot of fun and we wish we lived by them.  We would be great friends.  They were nice to put up our wild boys after they'd been in a car for 10 hours.

The next day we spent some time at Temple Square.  The boys haven't been there before and been so interested.








Mikey kept asking about the marks in Jesus' hands and feet and wanted to talk so much about him.  It was sweet seeing how much he loves Him.



After Temple Square we were able to have lunch with my Grandpa Turley and his wife Ana Maria.  My Aunt Willie came too.  It was so much fun.  We hadn't seen them in over two years and it was about time.  Lunch was delicious! 




Then we were off to Logan.  The boys ended up like this on the shortest trips in the car because they stayed awake for all the longest stretches.  It wasn't too bad. 


We surprised my parents.  They didn't know we were coming. 

The boys loved my parents piano.  Little budding musicians.  We really need to get a piano someday.


My boys on Thanksgiving.  This really was the best of the pics.  It's pretty hard these days. 



It didn't snow while we were there but there was a little bit of snow on the ground.  They boys had fun having a snowball fight with daddy.







They build a snowman and Michael used deerpoop for the mouth.  Him and the boys were so proud : ) 




Thanksgiving dinner was beautiful and delicious!  My sister has a lot of pics from the actual dinner.  I'll need to get them from her.


Afterwards we set up Christmas decorations for a fake Christmas with my family since we wouldn't see them for Christmas this year.  They boys felt pretty important helping Grandpa put up the tree.

Ty's first present.  It's his first Christmas onesie that we decided to save for real Christmas because knowing him there would be a huge blowout and it would be out of commission.



There was a horse at my brother's apartment that the boys thought was pretty cool. 


I do need to get some pictures from my family but that's all the ones I have.  I also was able to see my really good friends Tracy, Marjolaine, Jenny and Lynsi.  I am a spacecadet and didn't take any pictures but it was really great to see them and catch up.  It was a really great trip!

I love all your posts! That's so fun that you surprised your parents. Your little Tyler is SO cute. I can't wait to really see him. He's adorable. Riley is sure getting big too. You have such a cute family. I enjoyed catching up with you via your blog. We'll have to get together sometime when you're feeling up to it!
