For Thanksgiving we went down to Grandma and Grandpa Nash's cabin in Hatch. It was very cold, but a lot of fun to see the whole family together. All of the aunts, uncles, cousins, spouses and kids were there.
We ate tons of good food, played games, watched movies and won some cool prizes in the annual bingo game. Brent and Kelly brought their dog Roy-Boy and Rachel had a lot of fun with him. Here they are together, just before he jumped up and stole her lunch:

Here is Rachel chasing the dog around and trying to play with him:


We played the candy bar game and Rachel helped everyone out:

Cousins playing dominos:

The Dixie National Forest is short one White Fir tree because we cut one down and hauled it back north. (Actually Uncle Don cut it down and Mom and Dad hauled it on their van because it was a bit large to strap to the roof of the Elantra.) When we saw it, we thought it was the most perfectly shaped, best looking tree in the whole forest, but when we got it home it was pretty sad looking. Once we got the thing decorated and lit it up, it actually ended up looking pretty good:
The tree was originally about 15' tall, and our ceiling is only 9' so we had to cut a few feet off the bottom to make it fit. We took the branches and made a garland for the balcony:

  2. I just googled "holiday blog template" or something like that.
    We found one we liked, then copied the html code from the template into our blogger template.
