thanksgiving

Thanksgiving (well, the whole Thanksgiving weekend, actually) was fabulous.  Filled with family, great food, and lots of fun.  We jam-packed all we could into those four days.  Thursday morning Ben took the boys to help feed the homeless while I started preparing the big feast.  They returned a few hours later with ... 1) a greater appreciation for our comfortable home, and 2) lots of great (and quite humerous) stories about the wonderful people they met (Father Time made quite an impression).  Then, while the smell of turkey and stuffing gradually filled the house, the boys watched football games and wrestled.

  

Grandma Net, Grandpa Ralph, Grandma Margie, Grandpa Dave and Justin came for dinner, and then the Mounteers joined us and we played games until bedtime.

Friday, Emery skiied at Powder Mountain (he bought a season pass this year), and then we went to the Thomases for yet another yummy Thanksgiving feast.  We also saw Mega Mind that night ... good show!

The rest of the weekend we relaxed, watched the Utes barely beat the Cougs, did a little shopping, and played lots of Wii Wipe-Out (which, by the way, is really, really funny).

It was a great weekend!  Happy Thanksgiving!

PS ... Every time Emery goes skiiing, he gets all of his clothes and gear ready the night before.  Thermals, clothing layers, gloves, hat, helmet, skiis, boots, poles, everything.  And for the last few years, he has always laid it all out in his room like this ... 



It cracks me up every time I walk in his room and see it!
