Santa letters and the boat parade!

Letters to Santa...

 ...delivered to the Santa mailbox!

 Dinner at Mod pizza!

 And the annual boat parade!  It was a little bit rainy and cold but we still had a great time!

Happy Birthday Dad! And tree decorating...

 The 27th of November was a fun night for our family!  We celebrated Darran's birthday and had our tree decorating party together!

 These girls love their daddy!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

We love you so much!

Polar Express night!

 Thanksgiving weekend we had all the cousins over to watch the Polar Express and eat cookies and hot chocolate!

Happy Thanksgiving!

 I always have lots of helpers when we are preparing to have a good time!

 Lydia and Karisa drawing some Thanksgiving greetings on their table.

 The spread before the feast!  Our Thankful turkey is on the wall.  All month we added feathers to him of things we are thankful for.  Some things we are thankful for this year are bread, computers, family, friends, yogurt, Seahawks, Pilgrims, electricity, and much more!  It's always fun to see what we come up with.

For dinner this year Grandpa and Grandma Great joined us.  As well as the Hibbards!  Before we had our feast Andy/Julie and Dallin/Cassie and their crews came over to visit.

Our Thanksgiving Feast!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We are so blessed and thankful for all we have...especially our family, our health, the gospel, and all the wonderful people we are surrounded by!

Helpers...

My little helpers...they're too cute!

Seattle Seahawk Game!

 Darran and I got to go to a Seahawks game on the 20th with Dean and Sarah!  It was so much fun!

We walked in to the stadium and were instantly star struck because Steve Young was sitting right on the field commentating for Monday night football!

Go Hawks!

NFL fans are crazy!  We had a blast!

Christmas Parade!

The Saturday before Thanksgiving we went to the Mall to watch the Christmas parade that welcomes Santa and Mrs. Claus.

 Here comes Santa!

 The girls got lots of candy this year.  Always a fun way for us to start the holiday season!

First grade Thanksgiving Feast!

First grade Thanksgiving Feast!

 Maizy and Talia.

 I got to help with Talia's first grade Thanksgiving Feast...which was really a dessert feast!  Her class dressed as Pilgrims, learned a song they shared, and made a bracelet to exchange with a Native American.

They had pie, cookies, brownies, and apple juice!  A feast indeed!

She learned a lot about Thanksgiving and can tell you lots of facts...and sing cute songs!

Tangled...

The girls put on a performance to Tangled for us! 

 Talia was Rapunzel, Lydia was Flynn Rider, and the turtle was Pascal.

 Eliza was Mother Gothel, producer, director, music coordinator...

 And we are always in need of selfies...
