Harvest Day 2010

Happy Harvest Day Everyone!! Can you believe it's Harvest Day again? What? You don't know what Harvest Day is??? Harvest Day is the holiday that Jerry and I made up to welcome in the holiday season. Honestly, it is one of our family's favorite holidays! We have a night full of all the winter holidays wrapped up into one great evening.

We usually celebrate Harvest Day on the first Sunday of October (General Conference Sunday) unless we are out of town. It's just when the air starts getting a little crispy outside, and you can smell the holidays coming. Of course it is still in the 90's in Vegas, but still, it's cooler than it has been for the last 5 months.

We ate our delicious Harvest Day Feast of a Thanksgiving turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes. A bucket of Halloween Candy and the house is decorated for Halloween. We also get to listen to Christmas music during the meal and we each get a present to open to represent Christmas. (This year Jerry really spoiled me with the gift, so I had no choice other than to spoil him too.) We also drink Martinelli's sparkling cider in our fancy goblets to represent New Years.





Hayden got a Phinneas and Ferb toy

Sydney got a Little People's Jet plane
Jerry got an itunes card and a tie

Rebecca got a Belle barbie doll

And I got some running clothes.

Oh, and Sydney got a lot of chocolate for dinner. Fun for everyone!
