Yup that's right, this year it was just our little family for Thanksgiving...and it was wonderful! Of course I couldn't listen to certain Christmas music while I was cooking because it was making me homesick, but besides that we were so happy to be just our little family! The day started watching Robbie in the ward Turkey Bowl. 
He was awesome! He either scored or threw at least seven touch-downs! That's my man :) 
Bree made a new friend named Ty - I love watching her play with children who are a little older than she is (if they are a good influence of course) because she tries to do everything they do! Ty would run down the hill and say "Weeeeeee" and Bree would be right behind him with her little "Weeeeee"...Ty would pick up sticks and throw them in the little pond and Bree would do the same...they had a blast. The weather was perfect and it was great fun for all of us!
and then visited with them while they had a little concert. Bree was the star of the show! The chairs were set up in a circle and so Bree had the whole dance floor to herself! 
The sweet ladies clapped along while Bree just danced and danced. So cute!
(It was funny, she wet her pants right as Robbie was setting up the camera to take a little family picture. He quickly put her on his lap and we took a picture and then he felt the wetness... oh the joys of potty-training!) 
It was so perfect because it had just gotten dark and just felt so cosy. Bree was pretty tired because it was getting late, so we put Bree to bed and then got to enjoy our pumpkin pie just the two of us. It was such a fun day! Though being with all of our family would have been the best, this will be a fun Thanksgiving to remember! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

David and I haven't had the chance to have our own holiday all to ourselves, but I wish we could. It looks like fun! Happy Turkey Day!
Your THanksgiving sounded great! I'm glad. We hope to see you at CHristmas sometime when you are in town! Congrats on the baby boy! I just got the news and I'm excited for you!
I'm glad you had such a great Thanksgiving. Your table looked so beautiful. Love you!
Hey, I wanted to say that I just love your family Jesika! My husband, little Brooklyn and I were able to have Thanksgiving in St. George and my brother is in your parents ward. Lizzy and your brother (forget his name) gave missionary reports on both of your brothers. I just have to say your family (and your family... You, Robbie and cute little one) just amaze me. My brother Cam and I were talking about how neat of a family you guys are and how the light of Christ just radiates. Lizzy is just beautiful just as you are! Robbie way to find such a pretty wife! Your sweet brother sat behind us in Sunday school and introduced himself to us and we chatted away. Anyways, I am giving you a report that your family is doing well and I am sure they missed you guys as much as you missed them. Happy Belated Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to you all! Safe travels to Utah for the holidays!
Thanks for the great example you guys are to me. I really appreciate it.
So I met someone who knows you from St. George, Leslie Jenkins. Is that her first name? Looks like she also posted a comment on your blog. Funny. She was in a tennis class of mine at the Summit Athletic Club.
I am so happy Bree is doing so well with potty training and just in time! Let's get together when you are in Provo. I go home the 13th and Todd comes the 20th. We will call you!
Hello Mr Harmon! It's Bree (Bigler) Hafen! I just wanted to stop by-- I saw your mom Grandma Norton's viewing. I thought it was very sweet for her to come. Your daughter is darling and - I must say - she has a beautiful name! ;)
We're still in Dallas. Luke will be 2 on the 21st and there aren't any plans for a second... yet. We'll see. Dan's is being very patient with me! (I think he would prefer we have 21 kids by now!) ;) Looks like you and Jessica are happy as can be... and that makes me happy!
-Bree
