We've been up to lots of holiday fun. Our Thanksgiving camping trip with the Hales in Huntsville State Park turned into a Wednesday night cookout when the weather got rainy and the temps dipped to the 30s. It was hard to be really disappointed when the preparation and cleanup was so much simpler. A long evening in the outdoors was just right.
On Thanksgiving day Scott and Jimmy fried a turkey! It took only an hour to cook, and made for stress-free meal-prep. Plus, the guys really enjoyed themselves.

We all really enjoyed having Scott home during the day too. Mostly because he does incredibly fun things like tie cars to a rope, then tie it around his waist and jog around the yard.
One morning I slept in and woke up to find the guys had built an enormous train track.
Bikes too.
And then on Saturday it snowed! Well, it snowed at one of the mega churches in our neighborhood at least. So while Scott was watching the BYU-Utah game, the boys and I went and listened to carolers, rode a camel...
...drank Wassail with our friend Andrew Kearns...
...and got pelted with snowballs. Joseph got hit twice by ones that'd been packed hard and then told me he'd rather ride the camel again. Before we left, the boys each put a snowball in a cup. And they are now awaiting summer in our freezer.
Today we had some rain and the boys convinced me to let them stand outside with umbrellas. It didn't take much convincing. They were adorable!
Then Joseph declared he was "cold wike a wizard!" (Because they had just watched a lizard climb up the house) and they came inside.

You rode a camel?! How cool!!!! And those boys are SO CUTE!!! I love the umbrellas in the rain. And I'm jealous of your awesome weather. Winter in Houston has to be awesome!
Oh, it looks like it was lots of fun! I'm glad your fried turkey turned out perfectly-- so much potential for disaster. It looks like Scott and Jimmy were prepared, though-- love the suits! Wish we could have been there... See you in a few weeks (squeal!!!).
Cold like a lizard, how cute :) Your kids are so cute! And Scott is such a sport, dragging the boys around like that. I bet it was a huge hit.
Scott is such an awesome Dad!!! I love that he pulled the bikes and cars around the yard...I bet the boys LOVED that!!
Your family is SO CUTE! Lesley! The boys with umbrellas in the rain...those pictures are darling!
You deep fried a turkey?!?! YOU DEEP FRIED A TURKEY! Amazing! Please frame the first picture for your family picture wall. Please! Scott, you are too cool.
And you rode a camel!?!? YOU RODE A CAMEL! Winners of the coolest family go to.......THE LARSONS!! Congratulations! I'm sending my kids to play with your kids as a prize (they look like they're having so much fun!).
I miss warm Texas rain. We need to come visit you again and stay longer and bring our kids.
Hahahaha!!! I love the pictures of Scott lugging the boys around, LOL! That ROCKS. And wow, a deep fried turkey sounds SO good (just like deep-fried pretty-much-everything). Way to go on that one. Glad you had a fun Thanksgiving!
So much fun. Glad you had a good Thanksgiving. That is an easy way, lol, we do ours in the slow cooker every year, as we just do a Turkey Breast! So adorable on the unbrellas! The boys are getting so big!!
