Thanksgiving weekend a gate way into Christmas

We had such a nice time up in Pine Valley for Thanksgiving with the Jim and Lori Olsen Family. Thank you so much for inviting us. The food and the company far out weighed what Golden Corral would have provided. And Bret's Lori makes outstanding Pies!
I have been reading lots of Thanksgiving Pilgrim and Indian books to Jorryn. That must be where she got the idea to do this. I had been leaving my makeup out on the bench at the foot of my bed so it is quick to grab when we have to go to the hospital. Jorryn found some cream eye shadow and used the whole container. It took days to come off. She looked like a little Lamanite child for a while. Every little girl has to do this sometime!

On Friday we put up our Christmas decorations. Jorryn loved all the musical and light up decor. I had to replace all the batteries form last year and am guessing we will go through another round, the way she likes to play them.

We put up our Christmas tree on Saturday morning. It was fun to do as a family. We have had a fun tradition of adding an ornament each year that represents something special from the year. This year we found an ornament of a little girl holding a baby. We are so excited for our Baby to come!

Our Mutual group signed up to perform the Nativity at Tuacchan this year. We got to go and dress up as if we lived in Bethlehem 2000 years ago. It was a lot of fun. It carried a special Christmas spirit. If you are in So. Utah this month, I recommend going. I think it is like 2$ each to watch.
