I'm really late posting this, but our computer is on the fritz which is a real pain. We had a really nice Thanksgiving with our friends the Manwarings, in New Hampshire. Jeff and Preston were friends at BYU before either of them got married and ironically, they both married girls named Emily. They live in New Hampshire now because Preston is going to Dartmouth and they have two little boys the same ages as our boys named Andrew and William. The kids had a great time playing together and Baby Anne just did everything they did including climbing in and out of the homemade box fort. Thanksgiving dinner was so yummy. It was so fun for Emily and I to cook together because it's nicer to have someone to talk to and not have to do it all yourself. It was so fun to talk and catch up with them and Emily and I even braved the "Black Friday" shopping, which was just as crazy as I've always heard it was. :) We even stopped and saw the Christmas lights at the Joseph Smith Memorial Birthplace in Vermont on our way back home. The kids slept the entire 4 1/2 hour drive home, which was so nice!The kiddie table
Jeff and Preston took the boys to a children's museum and they had a blast. It was also nice for Emily and I to have some quiet time. :)

Hey, I totally know Preston Manwaring! He was dating Emily the same time I was dating Dave, and I think we both got engaged around the same time. Would you mind sending me his email address?
So glad you were able to get away and enjoy some family time. Looks like you had a wonderful time and I LOVE the JS birthplace. We went early fall and the colors were amazing.
