Thanksgiving and Update

We are now officially on Christmas vacation.  This year we have two weeks off so we are spending the first week with Aimee's parents and the second week in Cache Valley with my parents.  Aimee finished her second to last semester of grad school last week and will be finished with her Masters degree in May.  Last month we went to Williamsburg for Thanksgiving with our friends Stephanie and Eric.  Before we went we had thanksgiving dinner at our apartment.  The turkey and all the food turned out perfectly, but there was one hiccup.  Just before we were ready to eat Aimee decided to touch up her nails.  When she was carrying the nail polish containers out of the bathroom into the living room she stumbled and they fell onto the carpet. Unfortunately, several containers crashed into each other and shattered all over the carpet.

      
No matter how much nail polish remover we used we couldn't get the stain out of the carpet.  Good thing we are renting!

We drove the three hours down to Williamsburg the next morning.

We toured the Governor's mansion. 



Looked at the unique Christmas decorations.  BTW Aimee got new glasses a month or two ago.  I think they look really good!


And we saw the fifes and drums march. 


It was a really fun trip!

Last weekend, before we came to Utah, we went to see the Christmas displays at the botanical gardens.  They make decorations out of natural materials like wood and acorn seeds.  Some of them are pretty amazing.


There were also lots of beautiful flowers and plants.
