Thanksgiving

McK found these goggles and thought she would use them as sunglasses when we went to the park.

The kids at the park killing time before the Turkey Bowl


We had a really fun Thanksgiving and hope that everyone else did also. McKenzie and I started our vacation on the Tuesday before, we rode down to St. George with Leslie and her kids and met my parents down there. Everyone else came down on Wednesday. The weekend was filled with a lot of food, movies (Bolt and Twilight for me and the James Bond movie for Bodie), shopping, and golfing. It was so fun to be down there with the whole family, except we were really sad that my niece Kaysie couldn't come down because of work and Amanda and family couldn't come because they live in Hawaii, but they will be here for Christmas!!!

We got some awesome deals shopping at the outlet malls Thursday night at 11:00 then I turned around for more fun and met my sisters at Target Friday morning at 6:00. Let me just tell you, my 17 year old nephew Taylor, who really didn't want to come to St. George anyway is the best person to have with you when shopping on black friday. He can find anything you want. I left Target with everyone on my list and a little more thanks to him and Meredith who is not afriad to throw elbows and butt in front of people in line!
We also had our annual Dangerfield Turkey Bowl, which I am very proud to announce that Bodie was the winner. Every Thanksgiving in St. George, my dad takes us bowling and whoever wins gets to keep the trophy until the next year. Bodie having his own bowling ball and shoes has finally paid off!!!

On the way home, we stopped in Monroe and surprised McKenzie with a visit to Grandma and Grandpa Topham. For about the last month or two every time I tell her that we are going to Grandma's house, she gets really excited and asks if we are going to Grandma Topham's. The only bad part about the visit is that it had to be so short. But, Christmas is coming up and we are planning to make it down there sometime over the Holiday.
Anyway, we had a great Thanksgiving weekend and are very thankful for all of our friends and family. We are really lucky to have the best families ever!
