For Thanksgiving this year we hit up both of our families! It was quite the day! We watched some of the parade which Elizabeth really enjoyed this year, she was dancing and singing and pointing everything out she was way cute. Then we picked up my parents and went to my Aunt Julie's for round 1, Elizabeth ate pretty good there! Then we all came back to our house and rested for a bit, mostly for me, then headed off to Ketty's house for round 2! Both dinners were very good and you just can never get too much of the good stuff! Elizabeth really enjoyed playing with Melina and Emily. After that we went up to my parents house to plan our black friday routes. It was such a great day with food family and fun!
A few weeks ago after the fist big storm we got all bundled up and went outside and Tony and Elizabeth made a very nice snowman! We had lots of fun and named him bob the snowman!
So Halloween which we of course celebrated on Saturday started out with Boo at the Zoo, the highlight for Elizabeth...besides of course all the treats, was seeing Clifford the Big Red Dog. I've never seen such a happy girl! Then we went to Tony's parents house for the Johnston Halloween party. Elizabeth and Melina weren't so sure about Cassie dressed up as a dead prom queen, but Johnny did such a good job with the makeup I was a little frightened! Then we went to our wards trunk or treat with my parents. Elizabeth got really good at saying "a treat!" but who needs the trick part anyway right?! Then we came home and watched The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown! Good times!
We were married in the Salt Lake Temple August 4th 2006, and have only grown closer and more in love since! We welcomed our first child, Elizabeth September 12th 2008, and our second, Devin March 3rd 2011. It's been quite the journey so far with plenty of ups and downs, but we grow stronger and closer as we continue in faith.
