I finally have a moment with both hands free so that I can type. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Jared's parents were able to stay with us for a full week and we loved being able to spend so much time with them. We had a little thanksgiving dinner at our house and then that evening joined some of Jared's relatives in Manti for another wonderful feast.
Grandma Jones and the kids
Mackayla was playing on our bed when I heard her calling out that she needed help. I found her trying so hard to put her Daddy's jeans on.
Jared and his dad went to the BYU/Utah game and had a blast.
Ashley and family gave Mackayla these pajamas for christmas and she has been living in them ever since. We finally convinced her that what she was laying on was not a blanket but a table cloth.
ANNOUNCMENT: For the first time ever (as I was posting this) Mackayla put herself to sleep for a nap!!! She said she was sleepy so I gave her some milk and she went in to bed and actually fell asleep!!!!! Lets all pray she'll do this again!

well, not really, but i love the pics and look forward to the words. it looks like you had a great thanksgiving. we missed you in Dallas. you should really think about coming next year. deep fried turkey - come on! we love you all~
Bradley is getting so big! i love the new pictures - of him and all of you... and Jared's poster. hope it got some good reactions at the game.
and we love the PJs! i'll take a pic of sophie in hers for mackayla to see. :)
Great new family picture! Your hair looks really cute, Melissa. I can hardly wait to read about Mackayla and the jeans!!
Looks like fun times! I hope Mackayla's new nap trick becomes a permanent habit. Jared is lucky to have seen such a good game in person!
Way to go Mackayla! That would be really nice if she got into a habit of putting herself to bed. My kid goes peacefully enough, he just doesn't sleep once he gets there.
I thought I already commented. Woops! I'm glad you all had a fun Thanksgiving. Mackayla is getting so big I'm not sure we'll recognize her when you come. She's a little girl now. Bradley is growing too!
new countdown-- nice.
Melissa!! It was so fun to look at all your cute pics! Your kids are sooooooooo cute!! Bradley looks so much like Jared and his sister. . he is darling. Hope the adjustment to 2 kids is going well for you.
So we are moving to southern California. Grant has a # of job offers there and we are just trying to choose the best one. Prob in the San Diego area. We have postponed his start date to May 1st so we can get the twins here!! crazy! so that is the latest. Where do you guys think you will go?
I hope Mackalya puts herself down for a nap and nighttime! Cute pictures!
