Santa Claus came to town!

We went to the mall to see Santa last weekend. Andrew wasn't nervous at all. He's been writing letters to Santa for weeks with messages like, "How uld are you?" and "I want a chransformer." When Santa wrote him a letter back, he was thrilled.

Liv was a little nervous and didn't smile until I asked her to for the picture. But she did talk to him for a minute and told him she wanted a light-up rubber duck from bath and body works. That was random.

Millie was scared and sat there stiff but no tears! She warmed up a little when he offered her candy.

Thanksgiving!

 We spent Thanksgiving in Orem at my aunt's house with all my extended family this year. I was in charge of making some desserts so I made a pecan pie, pumpkin pie, and pumpkin bars. They were delish, and so was everything else we ate.

It can easily get cramped with that many people in one house but we all make room somehow... 

After dinner, we drove to Duchesne and spent the rest of the weekend with my grandparents. My grandpa took Ben and the kids fishing one of the days. They had a ton of fun. Liv caught her first fish. 

Millie followed my grandpa around all weekend. Here she is taste-testing his popcorn.
