Happy thanksgiving, I am so thankful for the life that I have. For my amazing Husband, who is my best friend and a wonderful father. For my kids that can be a handful, but make my life wonderfully busy. I am grateful for a Savior that died for me, so that I can repent as a strive daily to become a better person. I am grrateful for all the family I have that are always willing to help out!
I hope your day was as wonderful as ours! Wednesday I spent ALL DAY baking. I made 5 pies and over 100 rolls. Yikes, our house smelled so fantastic. Levi helped me by standing guard by the flour and the sugar! Trevin has been learnign Thanksgiving songs at preschool which he come home and teaches to Chey and they love to sing them! It's pretty cute.
Thursday Gage spent the morning playing in the ward turkey bowl and came home just in time to help me get the kids ready. I lounged in the morning and watch the Thanksgivings Day Parade on TV with the kids. They loved the big balloons especially Hello Kitty and Spider Man. We ate lunch with my side of the family and it was delicious. Around 4 we headed to the Crabtrees and played a couple games before calling it a night. Well, some of us called it a night. Cassidy, Lindsay, Janae and I actually left home around 9 pm and hit the stores. It's been years since I've done black Friday shopping with the crowds because I always worked Thanksgiving night. We had so much fun and didn't make it home until 5:30 am. I hope we do it again next year.
Friday morning Gage and I dropped kids off at Grandmas house and we headed of on a weekend get-away! We went to Island Park with Justin and Heather and stayed for 3 days. We rented an awesome cabin that had a private hot tub. It was a fun couples get away. Gage brought up the projector which made for great movie nights. We played games, ate great food, talked lots, explored the lake, went shooting, and discovered that rocks make an awesome chirping noise if you skip them across a frozen lake! We even woke up to snow Sunday morning. The picture above is what the roads looked like on the way to church. We had a great, relaxing weekend away from the kids and the kids had a great time at Sugar's and Grandma's and didn't miss us at all. I'll add pics if I ever get them off of Gage's phone.
