We had a treat this year for Thanksgiving - Jill and Mike and their family came to Logan this year!! It's normal for my mom and me to go to Logan to Teri's house for Thanksgiving, but to have the Hansen's there too was so much fun. Two of Teri and Kelly's kids were there as well, of course: Jeremy and his family, and Nick and his wife. Thanksgiving day was mostly the normal fare: cinnamon pull-a-parts for breakfast, snacks galore for lunch, and then the traditional dinner on Grandma Bertha's old china. But one thing that was different, beside the attendance of the Hansens, was warm enough weather to go for a bike ride! So Spencer, Parker, Kelly, and I went for a little mountain bike ride up Green Canyon. (Teri, Kelly, and I also got a ride in on Friday.) It's wonderful to be able to burn a little bit of the calories off that I consume over the entire weekend.

Friday night, Teri, Kelly, and I took my mom to get a new cell phone. Her cell phone was too many years old, losing its ability to keep a charge, and she couldn't hear very well while on it anyway. After two hours, we came home with a new one for her and with her nerves in tact, mostly. The excellent thing is that she can hear much better on it than her old phone! And we've taught her how to text message and now she's on fire! She's been texting a bunch.
On the last day of our festivities, Saturday, we went to Salt Lake City to see the new City Creek Mall, to Temple Square to see the Christmas lights, and to the old ZCMI building to see the Christmas candy display windows in the new Macy's. Everything was so beautiful and amazing.
