The Real Thanksgiving

People are always asking for a White Christmas, but this year we experienced a White Thanksgiving. Going along with the white was plenty of cold. It was a whole new thing for this California girl. The high was 21 degrees and the low was 7.

While we waited for the turkey to get done, I decided that it would be a good time to go out and try to find the three geocaches closest to Cory's house. It was so cold out that when we did find them that the ink in the pen was frozen and we couldn't sign the log. My fingers were stinging not to mention that both of the boys had been walking in the gutters and were soaking wet and freezing.


Jenny, Matt, and the girls came down for the evening and to share dessert. It was a very enjoyable day -- as long as we stayed inside.

Stephen, Cory, and Suzanne decided to give up sleep in preference to hanging out and making new friends in Walmart. They had quite the tales to tell upon their return. We spent the majority of the day with Jenny's family along with Lila who went to play with her cousins. The evening we joined Cory's family to watch Provo's first electric Christmas parade. I'm really surprised that anybody came out to it with the temperature where it was.




We traveled home on Saturday. It was nice to get back to a little warmth. It was also nice to find that Jared and Ashley (along with Clara and Kevin) had put out a few of the Christmas decorations to make things festive.
