Give 'Em the Bird!

Here we have Jacob giving the bird. We cooked our first turkey for Thanksgiving (yes, this post is a tad late....). We stayed home in California for the holidays. It wasn't nearly as fun not having lots of family around, but I refuse to go back to the dreadful cold and snow in Utah. So I suggest that family members that would like to see us for Turkey day or Christmas come to California for a visit! ;) It took FOREVER to cook that dang bird and then by the time it was ready to eat, we weren't hungry for turkey! So we had a few bites of the bird and then the usual food items (stuffing, mashed potatoes, yams, pies). Next year we decided to have a catered Turkey day meal from Claim Jumper (really yummy restaurant). :)

Also around Thanksgiving time, we got a brand new fridge!! The kids were so excited when the Lowe's guys came and delivered it. Charlie turned 2 in November and although I can't find any pictures of his birthday party, we had a great time and he was excited to get new cars and space rocket sheets to go on his big boy bed.
