Thanksgiving 2013

 Thanksgiving this year was wonderful. 

It was just the 4 of us. 

It was a relaxed day. 

We didn't plan too much. 

Even the food was super easy, we eat at 3pm!

Kent set up our projector and we watched Pacific Rim.

Isn't the screen awesome?

We both made it. 

We used blackout fabric, I sewed the bottom to fit PVC and Kent made the ring holes on the top to go on hooks. 

Santa!

We visited Santa! 

We went to Riverwoods on Monday for FHE to visit Santa. 

Will was super excited to see Santa but not Sam....

Bijou Market!

Our second event! 

We were invited to be vendors at Bijou Market in downtown Provo. 

It was a crazy week. Kent and I alternated working at our jobs. how that works out every single time is beyond me. All I know that it is the work of Heavenly Father. 

The boys both had double ear infections, Kent was sick too. and then I got sick but the show must go on, right?

I am grateful for friends who help us out. 

Kent was able to help me set up on Friday but I had to take down everything on Sat with the boys. But it all worked out! 

Bijou was fun. 

November Relief Society Craft Night

Back in October I was released from being second counselor and then called to be activities leader or coordinator...

anyways, i love it! I absolutely love it.

For November we had a Christmas gift craft night.

It was all planned out by my good friend Suzy who was the activities leader before me.

we did picture tiling, puzzle blocks, advent calendars, hot chocolate mugs, and candy trains. I was so glad to see over 30 sisters show up to this event.

Dia de los Muertos

November 1st and November 2nd we spent all day at Thanksgiving Point.

It was our very first event! 

This was Thanksgiving Points first year hosting a celebration for Dia de los Muertos.
There was beautiful folkoric dances from many parts of latin america, lots of venders and crafts for kids too!

My mom drove up from San Diego to make tamales and I am so very glad she did because she had so much success selling them at the event!

She was the only one selling Mexican food. We sold in less then 2 hours on both days. 
People told us they drove all the way from West Valley and Park City  to Lehi to get some tamales.
I think that was pretty neat. 

To make a long story short, I was asked to be in next years community and I am so excited for that! Next year we are going to have even better stuff! 

Kent and I are  extremely grateful our little shop Flor de Luz Shop is doing great!
