Thanksgiving break was so nice. We didn't have to worry about school and got to have a fun week before the stress of finals came around. We spent Thanksgiving at Chris's Parents' house. We all helped set up the tables and chairs. Although I think Chris and Spencer spent more time fighting with each other in the true spirit of Thanksgiving. We figured out how to make turkeys out of the napkins and set them up on the dinner plates.
We had wonderful lunch/dinner with his family and my parents as well. That night the boys played texas hold'em while I sat and watched.
Friday we had yet another thanksgiving feast with the Turley family, except at this feast we ate pizza and all kinds of desserts. The boys played basketball, and we had a family game of volleyball.
It was such a great couple of days that we got to spend with both of our families.
On friday Chris, Spencer, my mom and I went to Body World's at the Leonardo in downtown Salt Lake. It was awesome! I'm sure that Chris and I enjoyed it more than spencer and my mom, but they found it interesting. It was a fun experience, and I would recommend to anyone to go see the exhibit at least once. I think it was worth the $24.
Later on friday night we went with some friends to temple square to see the lights which were beautiful as always.
Chris's parents were kind enough to let us have their old Christmas tree to bring back to ephraim with us. Due to the fact that we had procrastinated all of our homework until the moment we came back home on sunday night, we didn't have time to decorate it, but we decorated the tree for family home evening on monday. It's modestly decorated since we didn't have any ornaments or very much money to buy any, but we love just the same. We just went to walmart and bought some cheap ornament bulbs, some candy canes and made a star to top it all off. We also cut out some snow flakes and hung them from our ceiling. Now our living room looks like a winter wonderland! Okay...not really, but it is festive!
