cards, Christmas lights, and our 1st turkey
Fist off, one of our adorable nephews had a birthday at the end of November. Happy birthday McKay! 
And another was just having fun with a bag while his sister had tissue paper over her head. This picture is just too cute!
We spent Thanksgiving visiting with both sides of our family and some friends. I forgot to bring my camera to anything, but we had a great time. We feel so blessed to live close to everyone we love! This time of the year just makes me all the more grateful for that. We love you all very much!
We cooked a turkey this year! Actually it was cooked in a pit. We just bought it and got it ready. Ryan worked hard helping out.
The young men in our ward held a fundraiser by wrapping turkey's in tin foil and putting them in a BBQ pit in the ground all night.
The meat literally fell off of the bones as Ryan was taking it apart.
Westwood ward,the fantastic one I grew up in, had a similar turkey pit fundraiser for years and years thanks to the Clement family. Nothing beat the flavor of those birds! My brother Jason would be there until midnight some years helping to prep the turkeys. I remember helping fold the foil just so. Mmmm, the delicious memories! I am so glad that Ryan was willing to get the bird ready and de-bone it! Thank you again babe!
Making full sized greeting cards isn't something I've been doing for a long time, and I'm not into it enough to make tons of them, but it is very relaxing. I like making cards a lot more than scrapbook pages! Thanks to one of my fun new ward members we had an afternoon of card making. In fact the last time I made a scrapbook page was about 8 years ago. Cards take way less time, and I enjoy giving them. Anyway, here are a few of my creations:
On Saturday night we ventured with most of the Stewart family to the Mesa Temple to walk and look at the beautiful lights. I end up going to stroll around and listen to the wonderful live music about 5 times each year for some reason or another, but I never get tired of it. I don't think I ever could. I didn't seem to be too camera happy that night, but here are a couple of pictures.
Kimble thought it was so fun to play peek-a-boo with Ryan. I'm glad you got a picture of it Kristi! Thanks to Heather and Parker for taking our picture too! 
We wish you all a very merry start to this Christmas season!
