Daniel is getting OLD, Gingerbread Houses

So yesterday was Daniel's birthday, He is starting to get old! We had a pretty regular day... He went to school and when he got home we hung out a little, we were on the phone with Direct TV for about 3 1/2 hours. (NEVER sign up with them, customer service is more than TERRIBLE) Then 2 of his buddies from school came over and we ate some stakes, potato's, squash & rolls. It was a good little dinner. Here is his birthday cake, he loves this ice cream cake (Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, Caramel, Oreos, Whipping Cream) that I usually make in just a 9x13 pan. So this time I made the ice cream cake, but made it look like a birthday cake! Anyways, I was happy with the turn out, it sure is yummy. We had a fun night, I bought him the new Seinfeld Scene It game, and we played that and I was so much fun. We actually knew the answers! haha. So here are a few pictures of the party and also the gingerbread houses we made last week.

Gingerbread House!

So this year we made our gingerbread houses with our friends the Whitneys, but it just didn't turn out as good as times in the past. Emilie loved downing the candy, she was way more interested in eating them than helping me. But anyways, we still had a good time.

She is so crazy!

Thanksgiving 2008

So we were so lucky to be able to go back to Kanab this year for Thanksgiving, we booked our tickets like a week before we left because we found a great deal and decided that it was going to cost us more to go somewhere else than to just fly home. Anyways, we loved loved loved being back in Utah and were so excited to see all of our family. Emilie had so many cousins to play with she had a good time. She did not want to come home. Every time the plane landed on the way home she would go. 'OK, all done, go see grandma.' So all in all we had a great time and here are a couple of pictures from Thanksgiving day.

Sara, Carol and I woke up at about 6:30 and started working on the turkey, it was fun... to start off it hadn't thawed out all the way so we had to run some hot water on it, and then it was time to put the rotisserie stick in it. ha ha, we couldn't get it in very well so we brought out the hammer to break some bones. I thought it was so funny, so I went and got my camera.

Here are the kids Thanksgiving morning watching the Thanksgiving Day parade

Here is our little family behind the Turkey. Emilie learning a new word that day and loved saying it. Our Turkey turned out great.

Here are the kids at their table. Emilie loved being a big kid

The rest of the family. We had a great dinner.

Amy and Rhett with their family showed up the next day. That night we started the music and dancing session. I don't think Emilie stopped dancing the entire time. She loved it. ps... don't mind that she doesn't have a shirt on, she said she was hot...:)

A little picture of Daniel and I, Emilie is in the next one but she had been crying right before so its not that good.

Here are some videos of the dancing. Fun times

And today we get to set up our Chirstmas Tree. YAY, Daniel is so excited! haha (he hates setting it up when we are not going to be here for christmas)
