Last Monday we had the Annual Washington City Lighting of the city's Christmas Tree. It was a lot of fun, and short which made Scott happy. They had the children's choir sing, the children decorate their bikes and scooters Christmas style (which my kids refuse to do), Santa Claus came, and the best part FREE hot chocolate and cookies. The city park was only a block away from my house, so I made my family go..including my sister in law and brother in law. The park looks beautiful now, and everytime I drive past it, it makes me more in the Christmas spirit.

Thanksgiving

We had Thanksgiving dinner at my house this year, and it was a lot of fun. We had about 15 people over, and I am still suprised we are able to fit so many people in the house. We ate way too much and ended the dinner with dessert that Scott's mom makes..Pavlova. We played games and talked. That morning Scott and I went to Walmart for black friday, and we finished some Christmas shopping. The next day Scott's other sister and her five kids came down from Salt Lake. The whole family went to Pirate Island Pizza and we met later to meet Santa. Sean is thinking he is too old to sit on Santa's lap (tear) and Carson was a little unsure about the big guy.

It's a Pirates Life for Me!

St. George City just opened up a really cool restruant called Pirate Island. After the Murder Mystery party we recieved a gift certificate for guessing the right murderer. My family went with our good friends Billy and Bobbi Kirschner and their boys. The restraunt is kind of like the Myan, but Pirate theme instead. It's a sit down restraunt with a kid play area and a big arcade area as well. It is a perfect restraunt for families. We already went there twice last week, and we can't wait to go again.
