We had an AWESOME Thanksgiving this year. We went to Salt Lake and met up with my Dad, Erin, brother, and sisters and all their families! We spent the week hanging in the hotel, going swimming, eating way too much, and going shopping! Thanks so much Dad and Erin for a great vacation! We loved every minute of it!
We spent Thanksgiving dinner at Sundance. All the Zachary family kids!!

What handsome guys!!!
Love his smile!
We went to Park City one of the days. I can't believe this was mine and Trevor's first time to Park City. It is absolutely beautiful!
Eating at our favorite restaurant.... Tepanyaki

We also went to the Discovery Center at Gateway. That is such a cool place. The kids LOVED it there. If you haven't been then GO!!!
All 6 Grandkids playing in the car.
Drake had a BLAST!

The adults also had fun at the Discovery Center. Breanne and I got to be on the morning news!!
This picture is just for my memory...... Trevor and Ross went to the BYU/Utah game on Saturday and everyone else left to go home. Well, Afton and I waited all day for them in Salt Lake. We had 3 children and no place for them to hang out. We went shopping for about 6 hours straight. Lets just say we got a little desperate and started doing all sorts of weird things.
We even went back to our hotel that we checked out of and hang out in the lobby and played on the elevator. Oh, fun times!!!
Overall, we had such a great weekend and a wonderful Thanksgiving! Now we are ready for Christmas! Bring on the snow......
Cutest smile in the world...
We just love his adorable laugh and crazy teeth!
He is definitely our Captain Adorable
All three of my boys were snuggling me. That never happens. Elmer was really giving me a big love! I was just missing one more boy, and then I would have all four of my favorite boys!
Papa Leo and Grandma Debbie came over for dinner the other night and Drake loved having company over!
Grandma brought brownies over and Drake thought they were very delicious!
Drake loves playing with Grandpa and Uncle Jordan
We started off by having a progressive dinner with Trevor's family a couple of nights before Christmas! We had appetizers at our house!
We started off Christmas morning at the Petersen's..... Can you believe all that cereal Santa brought?
Santa also brought way too many gifts this year. He spoiled us rotten! My favorite gift that Santa brought me is a new camera!!!!!!!! I was so surprised to open my Nikon D3000. It is amazing and I love it! So the quality of photos on this blog are about to improve by a mile!!!!! Yeah!!!
Drakes loves this truck!! He made out with lots of fun things. His favorite toys are this truck from Grandpa Petersen and a vacuum from Grandma Debbie.
All the Petersen gals on Christmas. We love getting our jamis every year!
The handsome Petersen dudes.
Poor little Drake got sick on Christmas day with Croup. He was feeling okay in the morning but got a lot worse in the afternoon. So we spent most of the afternoon hanging out at home. He is still super sick. It is so sad!
We did manage to gander over to my mom's in the evening for a very short time (since Drake was sick). She had a delicious meal and a house full of wild cousins!
I love my mom!!! We have a lot in common... We love to clean, we have the same nose, and we love to wear fleece get-ups all the time!
And here is Drake's best pal, Ivy! She might be the hungriest girl I know! But she sure is cute!!!!
Cozy and Claire decorated awesome houses!
Here is my gingerbread train. It turned out cute, but I am definitely not a professional at this. I don't have the patience to get it perfect!
Drake loved eating the candy for the gingerbread houses!
Or the "Helmet Head" ........... this is Trevor's personal favorite. He is seriously thinking about getting him a helmet for Christmas!
Ernie and Elmer have pulled out their Holiday clothing because they are so excited for Christmas!
I made this snowman and I am very proud of it!!!!
Our stockings
Our tree might be the saddest Christmas tree in town, but we are just lucky it is still standing up and hasn't been knocked down by our 1 year old terror. I made the Christmas countdown blocks! Only 21 more days!!!
