Thanksgiving and more

Back in Tucson for a nice sunny Thanksgiving Day. I forgot to take a picture of the turkey dinner, but I did get a few pie pictures.

Kevin and Ken cut the pies while Karen and Morgan decide which one looks best. Karen also brought lots of homemade candy and other treats. Thanks Karen!













3 year old liked the whipped cream more than the pie.




















After dinner it was time for games.
5 year old felt very grown up playing Uno at the big table.
















Other Thanksgiving week activities:

Real Bowling with all the Tucson family.
Somehow this is easier on the Wii.






























Some bowlers need more help than others.















Helping dig dirt for the new pavers in the backyard at the new house.
This is like one big sandbox.
















Riding bikes and fixing cars.

















A little car trouble on the way down to Tucson meant Ken had to spend some of the week working on the Jimmy at Kevin's house.


















Reading books and playing games.
5 year old is getting to be a good reader.


















Somehow Yaya can never win this game.











1 year old feeds herself. Most of it actually gets in her mouth.













Washing the car. Notice Ryan's new BMW in the background.































Ryan made 7-layer dip for the BYU v. Utah football game on Saturday.
Yes, we saw it on cable, even in AZ.
An exciting game as BYU wins in overtime!

DIY

Here are some Do-It-Yourself (DIY) projects for this weekend.

First, the kitchen faucet has been leaking and the old kitchen sink was looking really . . . OLD!
So, they were replaced.

I really hate to include a picture of the old sink (complete with the dirty, dirty dishrag), it's a bit embarrassing. But without it, you can't appreciate how nice the new one looks.


Before
















After
















On to the second project . . .
The light fixture in the bedroom was looking a bit dated. and the room needed more light with the new, darker paint. So, it was replaced. No before picture for this, just the after.
















We also took out the garden yesterday, since all the tomato, green pepper, and zuccini plants were officially frozen. It's official when they are all black and shriveled up. I guess that's the last of the good BLT sandwiches for this year.
