Giving Thanks In Elko

 We were lucky to have 2 Thanksgivings this year.  One the weekend before with the Peterson family and one in Elko on the actual Thanksgiving.  Unfortunately the camera did not make an appearance in Utah so there are only pictures from Elko. Alden spent the day exploring all the fun places at Grandma and Grandpa Norton's house; the storage area in the couch and under the table.


 
He slept through the actual dinner, but did see the Macy's parade with us.  The rest of the Thanksgiving weekend was spent doing Christmas activities.  Alden helped Grandpa put together gingerbread houses for us to decorate.     

 
And then BJ, Shawna, Cass, and Randi competed to see who could make the cutest house.  So it really wasn't a competition, but we did make some pretty cool houses and the best part is they both made the long trips back home to Las Vegas and American Fork with out a problem.


 
Aren't you impressed with these completed projects :) 

 
Later on that night we were lucky enough to have a visit from Santa Clause.  Alden was a little unsure of all of the facial hair, but after Santa started giving him food he was just fine :)

It turns out the whole Peterson family was excited to see Santa
And here is a little video of Alden being a stinker.  He wouldn't pick up the puffs if you only had one he kept kind of doing a bob for apples thing out of you hand.  He certainly can be a stubborn kid, but we love him to death anyway.
