Home from Thanksgiving

We are home from our wonderful long 4 day holiday weekend. We had a great Thanksgiving in SLC. Spent the 4 days with Mikes family-eating, visiting, shopping, playing games, eating, playing Wii music, went to 3 movies, eating. Yes I meant to say eating 3 times!! We took the kids to see Bolt 3D and Madagascar. Marcy and I saw Twilight(yes again). I actually enjoyed it more since there were no squeeling teenagers in the theater with us this time.
My family has so much to be thankful for this year. We are very blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful family members. And we have so many more that we were not able to be with during this holiday. Some as far away as NC and GA and others alot closer. We love them and miss them all very much. We pray that we will all get together as a family again soon.

Twilight Movie Time!!

OK OK OK I will admit it.......I am excited about the movie. Shellie and I and at least 1/2 the sisters in our ward are going to see Twilight at 9:30pm Friday night. I have been trying to be real mature about it. It is just a book. I am an adult. I am not a teenager. I am a grown woman with a real life and family. The characters are not real. Edward isn't real. Vampires are not real. It doesn't matter if I am Team Edward or Team Jacob. It is just a book. These are just a few things I keep telling myself when I get all silly and giggly!!!!!!!
