Thanksgiving Highlights

We had a fun and relaxing Thanksgiving in Monticello. I was able to read 2 books and we all had fun playing with Tige's family. Tige wanted to deep-fry the turkey this year. It turned out great and was soooo good--he actually ended up doing 3 turkeys over the 5 days we were there. Who would have thought that 10 adults plus Kason could down 3 whole turkeys! We took the opportunity to take Kason to the "Polar Express" train in Durango, CO. He was so excited and loved every minute of it. Kason was also great at entertaining his 2 little cousins--he'd fall down and they'd laugh at his antics as well as chase each other. The time flew by, and we sure had a great time. Thanks Hazletons.

Not easy to get a "cousins" picture with this bunch--here's the best I had.

I LOVE the Oreo Turkeys. Those are great. I'll have to remember those for next year.

Now I know who Kason looks like, the Hazelton's. The deep fried turkeys are good.

Gavin was such a stinker I dont think anyone got a better picture than that one with the four of them. Those turkeys were so good we still talk about it. :)

I wish we had been there! Little Abby is soooo cute! It sounded like a fun trip. Hopefully next time you go we'll be there too!

Kirk and I went to our ward party a couple days later after having that awesome turkey and they had just regular turkey. It just wasn't the same.

Hey Julie. It is so great to see pictures of your family too! This is such a great way to keep in touch with friends that have moved away. But, I am such a newcomer, I was wondering if you could tell me how to "follow" your blog? I see that you have a list of blogs on the side of your page that you follow: how do I do the same??
