A Happy Thanksgiving

We made the trek up to St. George, Utah for Thanksgiving. It was cold and wet, but we had a great time. Damon's mom really spoils us when we are there. We were able to take the kids to see Madagascar 2. They thought it was hilarious. We did some shopping with the kids too. It rained for 2 days while we were there so we had to spend a lot of time inside.

Thanksgiving was great. Dara and Brian (Damon's sister and husband) came down from SLC and the kids loved seeing them. Angie and Doug (Damon's cousin and husband) came for dinner with their twin daughters. Lily was so happy to see the twinsees again. She hasn't seen them since we were in Samoa. We had yummy food and a relaxing day. Damon even humoured me with a walk later that night after the kids went to bed. Funny things the kids said on Turkey day... Lily and Noah wanted to see the Turkey while I was carrying it outside to cook it. Lily asked, "Is it dead." I responded, "I certainly hope so." Then she asked, "well, who killed it?" I told her the farmer killed it so it could fulfill it's purpose in life as our Thanksgiving dinner. That seemed to appease her. Then Adam wanted to make sure we payed special tribute to the turkey by thanking it for dying for us. Sometimes my kids are hilarious.

It finally dried out on Friday and the kids got to go to the park by Nana's house. They loved it. We enjoyed the nice cool weather and dressing in jeans and sweaters. Damon was being super sweet on Friday and went shopping with me at 5am. Then that night he took me to see Twilight because he knew I wanted to see it again. What a sweet guy. I sure do love him. And he even enjoyed the movie.

The rest of my Thankfuls...

27. I am grateful for Thanksgiving and for the pilgrims (who I actually am direct descended from) who braved the unknown to blaze new trails. I am also thankful for the turkey.

28. I am thankful for early bird shopping. It was a lot of fun this year with Damon. We got some smokin' hot deals.

29. I am grateful for being able to stop at my sister's when we drive back from St. George. We seem to do it every time and she always feeds us. After hitting some horrible traffic it was nice to get out for a few hours and hang out.

30. I am thankful for my blog in which I can write and share my month of Thankfuls. What a great month it has been.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Now, Bring on Christmas.
