According to Godfrey/Webb tradition (or lore if you will), the day after Thanksgiving is for driving to The Great Salt Lake and picking out the perfect Christmas Tree. So Jane and I packed up the car and headed out on our adventure. No, it did not involve bringing an axe and braving the snow, just finding the keys to the Saturn, one small accident (jane's still working on it ok?) and lots of twine to hold the gigantic tree to our mini car. Here's some pics of Jane and her wonderful cousins, aunt, grandma and great grandma webb.
Another family tradition is decorating gingerbread houses at grandma Marci's home, I think Grandma did most of the decorating here.Thanksgiving
When I tell anyone about our Thanksgiving this year I get one of three reactions...1. SHOCK, the whole open mouth, wide-eyed gasp. This reaction is usually from the really home-makie types who are good cooks. 2. Pity, this actually can follow #1, but the whole, Ohhhhh, you shoulda come over to our house for Thanksgiving. 3. LAUGHTER, and maybe a little envy. My parents are in Belarus and it is the year to celebrate Thanksgiving at their house. I did not want to prepare a full-course dinner for just our wee family. I know that is a weak excuse, but it worked! And look how happy it made my husband when he found out that I wouldn't have to slave over the stove and wash dishes all day! Refer to top AND bottom picture.
My cute family in Chuckarama (note the fake smile on Wes' face, can you see him thinking, "I would NOT choose to eat here anyway let alone Thanksgiving day.")p.s. I got a three hour nap, anyone jealous?

Okay, Chucka-a-rama is pretty sad, but we ate leftovers from Dave's parents house. It was delicious, but the whole concept just didn't feel right. Zions was for sure my favorite part about Thanksgiving. It's so fun to see your pictures!
that is so rad. I have to agree with Wes about Chuck a Rama, but rock on! I am jealous!
jane looks so cute in pigtails in the top picture, i love em! I am laughing so hard about wes's thanksgiving pictures because i could here wes saying exactly that. i think it's awesome you went there, at least it wasn't mcdonalds:) last year was really the best though! miss you!
Ha! Chuck-a-rama is hilarious! I'm with Wes though. I don't love it there, but I think that most of the reason is that the first word of the restaurant is chuck. Makes me think of up-chuck and then suddenly I don't want to eat there anymore. Good for you though and yes I'm jealous of the 3 hour nap!
