Turkey day started with a nice little turkey trot with the McPhies in South Chandler. It was fun, but oh so cold!

Dad cutting the turkeys, he even BBQd one of them. Yum yum.

The Taylor's came down for Thanksgiving, and of course we love it when they come to town!


We took the kids to see Tangled (darling movie!!) and then to see the big tree at Tempe Marketplace.

And naturally the day after Thanksgiving we put up the Christmas tree! The kids were so excited!! I totally bribed them to clean up their rooms and the family room by telling them we couldn't get out the Christmas decorations until the house was clean.

Drakey boy got to place the star this year.

we sure have a lot to be thankful for this year, like all the stress right now because finals start next week. Thankful for that because it means the semester is almost over!!
