For Thanksgiving we went up to Ogden this year. We tried to figure out how long it had been and we don't think we had ever been up there for turkey day officially, we were in Hawaii last time. It was so fun to have all of us there together which doesn't happen very often! Thanksgiving day was busy! The guys went golfing for free at El Monte Golf Course. While we started our day of cooking and boy was it a lot of cooking! The turkey was our biggest fear as usual and it turned out great, thanks to Jeff who kept a close eye on it. All of my cousins on the Squires side came over for pie later that night and it was fun to catch up with them and see all their cute kids. On Friday Mitch and Cami went at 4:30am to shop with all the crazies! We then went up to Park City and shopped a little, next time we should go there earlier, they had some killer deals! Then for our final event we went to see the Polar Express! It's the Heber Creeper turned into that and it was amazing! Next time I am going to put the kids in matching jammies just like the story. It was decorated all Christmas like. We drank hot chocolate, ate cookies and read the story the Polar Express! Mrs. Claus came to visit and give us her cookie recipe and than who stopped by!? Santa himself came and gave the kids bells from his sleigh! We sang Christmas carols to top it off. When Santa came Jake closed his eyes and didn't want to see him, while Jax was all about it. Then when Santa gave him a bell he brighted right up and said I want a motorcycle and a Woody! Jax told Santa he wanted a motorcycle and a Buzz. Jaxon was so cute with the bell, he kept holding it up to his ear and shaking it just like in the movie! This was a great way to kick off the Christmas season! Hopefully we can do it every year or every other year. Thanks mom and dad!
