Clara's first day day of Thanksgiving Break was also a free day at our zoo. So we invited our neighbors and had a wonderful day. Joe just stared at most of the animals, but the girls kept running from one thing to the next. We saw the entire zoo in about an hour!
The girls also wanted a picture at every photo opportunity. So we have lots of pictures of statues, but very few of actual animals.
I was trying to get both Joe and Clara in a cute photo, but Joseph was too interested in looking at things to stop for a photo. This is Clara trying to stay by little brother, but still have the rhino in the picture!
Why is it that the best part of the zoo is the sphere being held up by water? All the kids were pretty wet by the time we left to go home.
Thanksgiving Day we had our neighbors over for dinner. (The same neighbors that went to the zoo with us.) We had so much fun getting to know them better. I love that Clara has such a good friend right next door to us! I don't love that I didn't take a single picture all day long.
The day after Thanksgiving, we were able to see the movie Frozen with Jeremy's sister and her family. We haven't had any one on one time with her new husband and step children. I loved getting to visit with them after the movie and get to know her family better.
Also the day after Thanksgiving, we put our Christmas tree. Clara was so excited to decorate it that she was in our room at 6:45 am waking me up by asking me if it was time to decorate the tree. Oh how I love that Clara thinks Christmas is so magical.
We ended the weekend by visiting Temple Square to see the lights.
There were a ton of people there, so we felt a little claustrophobic trying to maneuver at two man stroller through such a crowd. But we did it. And we even saw some friends of ours who were dating and married around the same time Jeremy and I were! It was so wonderful to see you Steve and Angie Hansen along with Darren and LaChelle Hansen and all your beautiful Children. Sorry I didn't get any pictures of you!
And I have to add this last picture. Joseph loves Jeremy! He'll cry anytime Dad leaves him. This was taken Sunday morning after Jeremy got back from his early morning meeting. As soon as Joseph heard the garage door open, he ran as fast as he could to his dad. He then pleasantly sat on Jeremy's lap until it was time to go to church.
That was our Thanksgiving Weekend. How was yours?
