THANKSGIVING...
was great! This is a picture of the apple pie I made. It was the first time I did a latticed crust, and didn't it turn out so pretty?! I spent Thanksgiving Eve baking. I made 5 pies and I loved it! They were SO yummy! My mom came for Thanksgiving as well as our friends, the Callahans. Like I said, it was great!Then we got a very wonderful, unexpected gift. We got to go to St. George for Christmas! The kids and I left TX and took my mom back to St. George the week after Thanksgiving, and we got to stay until the 27th of December. Mike flew in on Christmas Eve/Morning, and got to be there before the kids woke up, for which we were extremely grateful. Mike was sealed to his parents the day after Christmas, which was such a wonderful experience! Then we commenced on the long, 26-hour drive home. I am grateful that our kids are such great little travelers! Here are some pics of our time in St. George...we had a wonderful time with family and friends, and we are so grateful for the time we got to share with all of you! Thank you for everything...especially for letting us crash at your houses (day and night) and steal your time! WE LOVE YOU!
Our New Year's was great too! Our friends, the Hurton's came over and we played games and snacked on some goodies. We even blew up a few fireworks before we put the kids to bed. We are grateful for good friends! Happy 2009!

Hey there! Funny you should post on my blog because just yesterday you popped into my mind! That is so great that you got to go to Utah. I really liked your pic of the Temple with the snow.

Hugs for now! Did the Youngs move back to Utah?
