Thanksgiving!

Great Grandma Betty Potter and Aunt Deanna

Deanna and Mariella and Sterling Potter at Thanksgiving dinner.

We hosted Thanksgiving dinner this year since we won't be home in Utah for it for a few years.  It was our first time to ever have Patrick's family to our house for Thanksgiving.  My parents and my Grandma Potter came also.  It was a fun large group...with Janelle's family, Lavell and Steve.

After dinner we were looking at Black Friday ads and trying to decide if it was worth it to go out shopping...we did drive up to Best Buy but then turned around and went home after seeing the line wrap around the building.  So we went to the Gallivan center and went ice skating instead.

Ice Skating at Gallivan Center...remarkably on Thanksgiving night there aren't to many people out downtown.  I guess everyone was shopping!  Todd and Janelle did go out shopping later and got lots of good deals once the crowds had lessened.

On Friday night we meet up with Julie and her boys to tour temple square and see the lights.  The place was packed since it was the first night the lights were on.  We lost Jackson for a moment but thankfully found him quickly.  After walking around and looking at the lights we all got hot chocolate and visited.  I felt crummy so we went home soon after.

Saturday we all went to Hale Theater to watch a play called Brigadoon! 

Following the play we all went over to Lavell's for a family dinner.  It was delicious and great company.
