Thanksgiving 2011

My Thanksgiving break started off with a bang! I go into work the day before my break and my boss comes up and asks me, "How stoked are you to be here today?" I reply honestly of course, " Not stoked at all." Then my boss says, " Well you can go home. Happy early Thanksgiving." I was so excited!! I turned off my work phone and basically ran out the door before they changed their minds. Since I got off work super early I went to Wal-Mart to get some food for our Thanksgiving dinner. On my drive to Wal-Mart and the time I spent there I realized something about the Holidays. Thanksgiving and Christmas are the holidays that people are supposed to be generous, kind, and thankful. But it has the opposite effect. People are mean around the Holidays. Pushing each other so they get what they want. Cutting people off not saying please, thank you, or excuse me.


The next day {Wednesday} Nick and I went to Bountiful. We had a lot of fun. I finally got my haircut!! Nicks mom and I bought enough food to feed 20 or 30 people and there was 5 of us. We ate and ate and then when we were full we ate some more. We went to Breaking Dawn. It wasn't my favorite but I still think the first movie is the worst. Thursday morning me and Nicks mom spent it making a lot of delicious food. Snacking all the way through. By the time we were about to eat our Thanksgiving dinner I was so full! We had a ton of leftovers. Friday morning Nick had to work. But once he got off work we headed down to Ephraim. We had yet another huge meal. It was so loud and crazy with 7 kids, 5 in-laws, and 13 nieces and nephews {2 brand new babies}. The boys played some video game while the girls worked on a puzzle. It was a lot of fun. I can't even wait for Christmas!!
