Thanksgiving Celebrations

For Thanksgiving this year we stayed at home. In months leading up to the holiday, we had thought we were going to have visitors, but all plans ended up changing and we then decided to have dinner with my aunt and uncle that live nearby and their family. It was a really relaxing day and we all enjoyed the food and games.

Thanksgiving weekend continued with Chad doing the Black Friday shopping this year. After standing in one line for 3 hours last year, I opted out and Chad graciously took over. Friday night was also a light parade in Kaysville that was perfect and calm and not crowded at all. It was a bit short, but was the perfect length for kids in the cold.

Saturday night we headed to Ogden for their light parade, fireworks and turning on the lights in their cute Christmas village. Ogden was a bit crowded, but we managed to find a good spot for the parade and really enjoyed the fireworks.

It was a quiet weekend, but filled with fun times and memories. Pictures below are of the Ogden Light Parade.

The boys at a train in the Christmas Village after seeing the fireworks. They were all so happy - even McCoy being strapped into the stroller all night.

We saw this Layton City float at both parades.

The Nutcracker

Had to get this one of the local Star Wars lovers. Boston was especially excited, but honestly all of the boys loved it.

The Dinosaur Park had a Flintstone's themed float.
