Thanksgiving in Phoenix



We had a great time visiting Stu and Jo and their family after Disneyland. Aubrey kept referring to their house as "Indiana Jones house" - I think Disneyland may have been fresh on her mind. JoAnn was a little nervous about preparing the whole Thanksgiving meal - but she had no reason to be. Everything turned out wonderfully. We all pitched in and had great food.



On Friday evening we met up w/ Dave's uncles and aunt who were at his Uncle Kent's house in Gilbert and we went to Organ Stop Pizza for some food and fun. Aubrey got really nervous of the scary music and ran to Grandpa for him to hold her. We were greeted by the protesters when we went to the Mesa temple to see the lights - not realizing that it was the first night they lit them so we fought the crowds but enjoyed warmer weather then we are used to when seeing temple lights. The kids had a great time spending time w/ cousins. Ethan will sure miss Brighton when he leaves on his mission. Can't wait to hear where his call is!

Halloween kids

I don't think I have to tell you what the kids are for Halloween this year.. The pricess Aubrey - when given the choice - was of course, Cinderella. Ethan tackles his friends anyway, so it helps to provide helmets. And we love to refer to Devin as Dr. Jones.
The kids all together...minus the 13 year old who is TOO cool.
