Thanksgiving in Mesquite

For Thanksgiving we drove down to Mesquite to celebrate with the Easton crew.  Neelie planned a Thanksgiving day relay race that had activities for everyone.  It was a lot of fun to watch everyone participate.
Mack and Lily were on the winning blue team - thanks in part to Mack winning the 400 meter portion of the relay.

The yellow team came in a close third with Emmy rocking the 400 meters, inspire of not being a runner.

Greg was an enthusiastic leader for his team.

Winners running across the finish line.

The watermelon eating contest was pretty hilarious and messy.
Kate and Hazel rocking the wheel barrow race...
and Greg and London..

and Mack and Talon.

Kate and Beth with the beanbag toss.

Emmy passing on the yellow team's baton after her exhausting run.

Mack leading the pack thanks to his early start because Lily found her baton first.

Lily ready to start the race.

I forgot to take any other pictures of our time at Whitney Pockets, the kids going to the movies, all the food at every meal, games, and cousin time but I did get this bad picture of all the pies.  I believe there were 23 total not including the Marie Callendar ones in the freezer just in case.  Those women don't mess around when making pies.
It was a lot of driving for one weekend but it was nice to all be back in Mesquite together for quite possibly the last time in that house since Nani is probably going to down size.  Lots of goo memories in that house.

Fall Happenings

 

Unfortunately, Lily got a lot of bloody noses this fall 😢.

She also graduated from Primary 😢.

We took a field trip to Scheels and they each got one dollar to spend on candy,

took advantage of the photo opps,

and Emmy and Lily rode the ferris wheel.

Lily had to try potatoes with molasses because of a silly show we watched called, Over the Garden Wall.  A boy in the song sang a song about potatoes and molasses being better than algebra classes.  Lily wasn't sure.

Lily got the service award for the Middle School monthly value - she is growing up.
