Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we had dinner with the Curtis' family. It was fun because his sister Heather and her husband Ben and son Spencer came up from Utah. Dinner was of course delicious!!! I loved it for several reasons:
1-I didn't have to cook anything but rolls
2-Ben soaked the turkey in a brine overnight and it made the turkey ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!
3-Did I mention all the food was delicious?!!
4-It was fun to play with Spencer and to watch Curtis play with him
5-I ate all of my food...I know for those of you who know me that is a no-brainer, however, I've been sick and on antibiotics and I'm not eating much food because it just doesn't taste good. I was very excited to eat a plate full of food and actually enjoy it for the first time in a few weeks! Everything tasted sooooo good!

After we had dinner and pie at the Cahoon's we went to Nampa and visited with my Grandma & Grandpa Ward for a few hours. We also had some of Grandma's home-made apple pie...oh-so-good!!! Of course the weekend wouldn't have been complete without Football & Shopping! Curtis & Tim watched the games on Turkey day, went to the BSU game against Fresno St. on Friday, and watched the other games on Saturday. The only game I watched was the BSU game at my parents house, where I stayed warm while watching the game. It was pretty fun getting all excited during the game with Brenda...I'm surprised that my Dad was able to sleep through us yelling! Heather & Judie went shopping on Black Friday and again on Saturday. I decided to skip out on the Black Friday shopping and instead went to my parents home to help my sisters change rooms around & watch the game with them. I did end up shopping on Saturday with them and was able to get a few good deals on things for Curtis. (What I got will have to wait until Christmas to be known....) Anyway, it was a very fun family filled weekend. Below are pictures from Thanksgiving Day. Enjoy!!!

Your right, it's not the best picture of you that I could have taken...but I didn't get another one. Sorry! However, it does show your cute little tummy w/Spencer's new brother or sister! And for that reason, I decided to post the picture.
