Give Thanks

Sorry, Im still blogging about November, but we are nearing the end!
My birthday this year was on Thanksgiving, what better day right? Stuff your face all while being in good company. Also, its really distracting having a holiday on your birthday so it was absolutely perfect because I didnt want to turn a yr older, so it kind of felt like it never happened.
This year for Thanksgiving I went down South to have Thanksgiving dinner with Russ and his family. They are all such great people, so I felt lucky to be able to spend it with them. Plus, his mom is pretty much an A+ cook. She makes these homemade meat balls that will make you push your fullness level in your belly to the extreme. At least thats what they do to me.
I cant believe it, but I didnt take any pictures at his parents house :( but its not to say we didnt have a good time. Thank you N Family for having me over.
It was an off year for my family, meaning my siblings all went to their inlaws so my parents went up to Sundance and rented a cabin for the weekend and had Thanksgiving dinner up there. After dinner we went up to see my parents and sit in their cozy cabin. For those of you Utahn's it was a COLD Thanksgiving, so it was nice to sit in a nice cabin in the mountains cozied up to the campfire.

I think this picture is pretty impressive. Its one thing to take a picture of 2 people with the old arm extension trick, but 4? Well done.
Are these 2 cute?

What a nice fire.

After we went to the cabin we went to a late movie. After the movie which was after midnight I decided I was craving coffee cake, or monkey bread...whatever you want to call it. But since the dough needs to do its thing over night we stopped by Walmart on the way back to my house. BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. I am very Anti Black Friday. I had no idea you crazy people started the second you put your Thanksgiving fork down. All I wanted was frozen rolls, some nuts, and some pudding and I waited in line behind all these crazy moms with baskets chuck full of toys in the 20 or less lines. Not cool. No food, or dessert is that good. But we did it, and we barely survived and got out of there at 2 AM with my groceries. We got up to the line and the guy was like...this is all your getting? You dont want CDs or anything. I was like, no! Scan my 3 items and get me out of here, please and thank you.

Since the bday was on Thanksgiving my brother threw me a fun family party at the bowling alley. I cant remember the last time I went bowling with my family so that was a lot of fun. Thanks Bro for putting it all together.
A little behind the back action.

I love this of my mom.

Look at these kids!! Can they be any cuter?



Thanks Fam! I had a great time :)
