Thanksgiving Weekend

Horray for no school for 5 days is what it was at first it felt like forever. Then all of a sudden we are waking back up at 7:00am getting the kids ready for school on Monday. I have to say we had a great weekend one of the best Thanksgivings ever. Terry had Wednesday off so we headed to Wendover and spent the night in a free hotel. They also gave us $45 just to drive out there so we were not arguing. We had fun playin in the pool and playing family games back in the hotel room. This is one activity everyone in the family enjoys except Terry. He has never been a big board game kind of guy. Then in the morning he went to get us breakfast and won us $100 in the slot machines! WOW - Nice bonus we had breakfast in bed as we watched the morning Thanksgiving parade (mom just wish she had her ads with her).

Then we headed to Grantsville to celebrate Thanksgiving with Terrys family. I have to say Thanksgiving is so nice to sit around and talk to the family we just never see enough of. Then watching the kids play with their cousins and having such a good time.
Yes I do love Thanksgiving day. This year I must say I am thankful for my life. I am thankful to be alive so I can enjoy this wonderful world the Lord has provided for us. Yes I do have alot to be thankful for.

November Recap

I don't know if it was just me or if November just seemed to fly by for everyone! One minute I was making halloween costumes and then next I was making Christmas gifts and my belly was full with Turkey! Anyway I have to say I am thankful for the photos on my computer so I can remember what happened in November.

Terry and I decided it was time to have Matia try out the motorcycle so we took her out in the desert and gave her a go. After what was a tramatic experience for her of confusing the gas and break we decided she is just not quite ready. She did great for a while but wow talk about scary. She also put on a darling Thanksgiving program at school that was just really cute! Terry and I have spent many nights hiking enjoying the scenery up Big Cottonwood Canyon. Some people would say we were hunting since we were caring a bow but I like to think of it as just a hike with options to get interesting.

One of our favorite family activities to do in November would be to play in the leaves. What a fun time for me to sit back and just watch the kids build piles and jump in them then dig down under and be buried in a pile of leaves. Have I told you how much I love being a mother? I just love every minute of it. Thanks to my family for making it so much fun!
