Thanksgiving 2014

This year for Thanksgiving we spent it with Nicks family. I am pretty sure I suck at taking pictures at Thanksgiving for some reason. Oh well.

The Tuesday before Thanksgiving we went to Nicks moms house. We had birthday cake and such for Eastons birthday. Then we went to The Mocking Jay. It was pretty good. I am excited for the next one to come out. The night before Thanksgiving we went back to Nicks moms and ate pizza and hung out.

Actual Thanksgiving day was a delight. The boys watched football. The girls cooked and looked at ads. And we all just relaxed. And we ate and ate and ate. Oh and played some games. Then Nick headed to work. And the Seahawk game came on. And we destroyed them! YAY! After the game I got a surprise phone call from a good friend of mine... Juan. We went to Snow College together. And we were best friends. We have kept in touch over the years. When Nick and I went to San Francisco a few years ago we went and visited him. Well anyway we got a chance to catch up and talk. It was nice to hear from him. After our chat I watched Frozen with Ridge.

I spent the night at Nicks moms. Then bright and early me, April, and Shellie woke up and headed to Smiths Market Place for some black Friday deals. After some shopping I went home and slept. It was so much fun. And good to catch up with family.

I love Thanksgiving. I just love relaxing and eating. And honestly I have so much to be Thankful for. This past year has been pretty crazy.... my dads emergency heart surgery, my grandma passing away, getting ready for grad school, amongst other things. But I have so much to be thankful for. For real. So freaking much.

Levi Is Home

When Kiersten came home from her mission we were all so excited. But... we were all still anxiously waiting for Levi to come home. I cannot tell you how proud I am of Levi. He is such a great example to me. And some day I hope to be as strong and compassionate as him. 

I got off work at 12 and then picked up Nick. Nick and I headed to the airport. And we waited and waited and waited.  Eventually everyone got there and we waited a little bit more. Then finally we got to see our Mobi! After all the hugs and screaming we headed to Ogden. 

Nick and I went and picked up my Grandma Cragun and then headed to Chuck-A-Rama to meet everyone for lunch. It was so good to catch up with everyone and spend time with our huge family. Katie is so cute she said, "We are now all together again!" 

Even though I asked one thing of Levi (for him to bring me back a Wonder Bar... this yummy Canadian candy bar) and he didn't deliver it was still good to see him. In the two years he was gone I got to talk to him one Christmas.... so needless to say I missed him like crazy.
