A Season of Thanks: NOVEMBER 2009

We made a point to go into NYC just a few minutes away. It was Weston's first time and we had a blast just walking around...on black Friday...We also went to go to the Manhattan Temple which was the highlight for us.

Central Park made it into our "top 3" of things to do/explore in the city. Beautiful and fun! We're excited to go back.

The weirdest thing seen was a Persian cat on a leash for a walk, wearing a sweater. I don't think it was very happy though because it tried to take sudden jump off a bridge! Still, impressive.
Times Square
Hurray for M&M's! I wanted to pull every lever!
Manhattan Temple (right across from Juliard!)A ride on the carousel--a piece of history--with the family! Spencer cried the whole time! :)
An unquenchable love for soft and squishy animal toys!
The name speaks for itself..we just had to peak and see what all the hype is about...
One of our favorite buildings (also VERY historic): NY Public Library! Inscribed on the wall was, "A good book is the precious life blood of a Master spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life"
St. Patrick's cathedral. A beautiful place to stop, think, and rest our aching feet!

Hurray for big trees at the Rockefellar Plaza!
Weston and I enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving and are grateful for a season that reminds us to of the many ways that God has blessed our lives. We had the opportunity to go to New Jersey and spend the holiday with my sister Linda, and her family! It was completely delightful and they were so good to us.

Too good. Scott and Linda refused to let us sleep on an air mattress. Check out the our "Chateau 193 Suite" they made--portable DVD player, gourmet chocolate, tourist info., amenities, and refrigerator included!


Weston was given the carving privilege...wow!An incredible Thanksgiving feast--can't be too bad when your bro-in-law is a chef!

My AMAZING and darling nephew, Spencer. We had a great time together!
Weston played some Turkey ball with Linda and Scott's home ward and other friends. I was the proud wife of a '2 touch downs' player :) The wet grass was a great athletic equalizer and made watching a lot of fun!
