Thanksgiving

We went to Salt Lake for Thanksgiving break. We had a fun week spending time with family and friends. The food was delicious, the games were fun and we all left exhausted.
One night we visited the lights on Temple Square.
Emily had a great weekend playing with grandparents, aunts, uncles and her favorite cousins; Jeffrey, Spencer and Mary.

Isaac was a good baby. He liked being passed around to everyone.


The little girls wore dress ups all weekend and played princess, babies and pretend.




One sunny day we all went to the zoo. All the kids had a fun day seeing the animals, riding the train and playing on the playground. Taylor and Jeffrey made spaceships, did art projects, played bad guys, and raked about 10 bags of leaves. Grandma paid them .25 cents per bag, and they worked for hours outside raking up leaves.




Emily and Mary even warmed up to uncle Derek. They always act scared of him when they see him, but they love Derek. He teases them and makes them laugh.






Issac and Spencer sat and played toys together. They have such different skin coloring. It's like looking at "Chocolate" and "Vanilla" babies! They are going to be great friends in future years.





We all had a wonderful weekend. Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Shields for letting us all stay at their house.
