a happy thanksgiving

Jason and I had a great Thanksgiving. Lots of food. Great people. What could be better? Here are a few highlights of the weekend.
*Thanksgiving day was spent in Lewiston. We ate at the 2nd ward church house with all the Halls. It gets a little crowded in one house with all of us. I made a pie (me and Marie Calendar that is).

*It's just tradition that a game of basketball will break out. Jason played a few games of lighting with the cousins. I tried to play with them, but the games not too fun when you're not so good.

*Later that day, Jason and the boys did a little demolition on the house. They removed the brick around a wood stove in the house. Mom made the mistake of saying that she wanted this done. And everyone went to work that minute. It was little noisy, but they had it done in no time. I wasn't any help at all. I just watched.

Jason had to work on Black Friday and so did I. We traveled up to Burley right after we got off on Friday. It was so, so nice to be there with our family. Here are the happenings of that weekend.

*We had our Thanksgiving feast on Saturday afternoon. I made rolls. Some of them came from the store though. I'm not skilled enough to do a big batch of rolls quite yet.

*Jason and I played games. It is nice to play cards and board games with more than two people, like Jason and I do all the time. We visited, laughed, and tried to get caught up on the happenings in everyone's lives. Seriously. We don't get up there as often as we would like.

* Jason and Bryan did a little work out in the yard on Saturday, with Michael watching from the window and making sure things were done correctly. I wish I had a picture of it all. Quite funny to watch.

(Speaking of pictures...I didn't get any pictures from our weekend in Burley. I was so mad at myself for my forgetfulness! I always forget to take pictures up there because there is always so much going on. This a picture from a while ago with our family - minus some additions. It will have to do.)
Unfortunately, we had a sad ending to our Thanksgiving weekend. I got sick on Saturday night, and I'm still fighting off this lingering cold. We left quite happy though because we got to see our family. The best part of Thanksgiving is just being with the people you love.
