Thanksgiving 2008
We had Thanksgiving at Jim and Jeni's this year. It was so much fun and so yummy! We took a lot of pictures but I thought maybe it would be best just to sum it up with this one!

Brandon's Winter Formal
Tonight Brandon is having fun at Winter Formal 2008! This dance is a girl's choice dance and he was asked by his friend Phoebe. They went with a group of six couples and started the day around 11am with outside games and a picnic for lunch. They played in teams and wore matching colors - their team color was black. Brandon made a point of wearing his Utah black shirt - Phoebe is a BYU fan!
After the games they all went home to get ready for the dance. Phoebe picked Brandon up at 5pm and they went with the group back to her house for dinner. They both looked SOO pretty and handsome and it was great how well Brandon's tie/vest matched Phoebe's dress!
Next they are going to the dance. It is being held at the new library downtown which should be really nice - the theme is Frozen in Time. After the dance they are going back to one of the other girl's homes to decorate (and eat!!) gingerbread men and watch a movie.
Brandon had a really great time at the day activity and I am sure is having as much fun the rest of the night! We will get the report in the morning!
Update: Brandon said he had a wonderful time - the whole day was awesome!!
