Christmas Parade

Some how Jared got talked into wearing this snowman costume for a Christmas parade his dental office participated in. He said it was miserable to wear and that he was dripping with sweat by the time the parade was over, but all the kids wanted to hug him and give "Frosty"a high five. The office had sweaters made for everyone else to wear and the kids and I got to sit on a float and wave to everyone. They handed out toothpaste, toothbrushes and t-shirts at the parade.

This is Jared's dental office.

Thanksgiving Weekend

This year we spent Thanksgiving in Utah, we decided to make the long drive! We left the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and drove half way to Boise. Wednesday we drove to Twin Falls and stopped to see my cousin Angie! It was fun to see her kids and her house and to catch up! My mom made the best Thanksgiving dinner ever! My uncle John (my dad's brother) came and ate dinner with us. Friday we were able to have our family pictures taken, we were way overdue for an updated family picture! I can't wait to see them. We had them taken at Wheeler Farm. Saturday Jared and I went to the BYU/UTAH game to see Jared's brother Shawn play in his last game at BYU. We got to go down on the field before the game and see all the players run onto the field. It was sure an intense game! It was fun to see them beat UTAH! Thanks to my parents for watching the kids for us so we could go. After the game we went and picked up the kids and started the long drive back home! We got to Boise about 4:00 in morning on Sunday, slept in until about 10:00 and finished the drive home. A few months ago we got new van with a dvd player. It was a life saver for the long trip. The kids watched movies and played the wii and slept the whole way. Allie had never been in the car that long in her life, towards the end of the drive home she kept yelling at Jared to "STOP DRIVING"!
