This weekend was another busy one. On Thursday night, we hosted a dinner party here for some friends. My friend Sarah is visiting from Wales and she brought her boyfriend home with her. We planned a little potluck get together so everyone could hang out and meet him. It was really fun and I hadn't seen some people in quite awhile. It was really nice to chat and catch up with everyone. I didn't take pictures, though. Too wrapped up in everything else, I guess.
Friday night was my brother Joel's play. Awhile back he wrote a musical - the songs and everything. It's called "Mary, The Musical" and it's about Mary Poppins, before she was practically perfect in every way. For the past few months, he and my mom have gotten some kids to act in it, held practices, gathered props, made scenery, and all the other stuff that goes into putting on a play. It was really, really good and I am so impressed with how talented Joel is. Jared and I were amazed watching him during the performance. He was the MC, as well as the director. He sat at the piano, accompanying the whole musical, with no sheet music, and still had the presence of mind to be the prompter if the kids forgot their lines. Amazing.

This picture really doesn't do the moment justice. Hayley was loving being held by my brother Dallin during the intermission and she kept snuggling up to him. It was really cute.

On Sunday afternoon, we went over to my parents house for Thanksgiving dinner. We were only missing Trevor, my sister's husband, who had to stay home in Calgary for school. I finally got to cuddle my new nephew Taylor. He is such a good little baby - very content. Here are a few pictures from the dinner.
