Thanksgiving in Utah

We met Alana and Ian in Utah and had our smallest number of people for Thanksgiving that I can remember. Evan is at the Mission Training Center and leaving for Argentina on December 14. In this picture, we are on the balcony of the townhouse with BYU and the MTC in the background, toasting Evan and his mission.
One of the reasons we like spending Thanksgiving in Utah is that it starts out the Christmas season so appropriately - with shopping early in the cold on Black Friday and then going up to Temple Square to watch them switch on the hundreds of thousands of lights. Pictured above is the Assembly Hall.
We had Belgian waffles at a place near Temple Square that has the best Belgian waffles we have had since Brussels. We also attended the Christensen wedding reception, that had an incredibly beautifully decorated ward building - it felt like being in a home. It was nice to see the whole Christensen family again and also to be able to see the Warnick family. We love Utah but will be glad to be back in CA this afternoon.
