Thanksgiving Vacation

We are having a great Thanksgiving this year. We drove to Dusty's brother's home in Ohio. Dusty's sister, Kristin, drove from NY and Dusty's parents flew in from Salt Lake. We have had a great time hanging out. The kids are loving hanging out with their cousins and grandma & grandpa.

Grandma & Grandpa planned a great 'family home morning' today and we learned about Heavenly Father and Jesus and that they have bodies. Then grandma gave us advent calendars and little journals for each child to log what the calendar says to do. Then at the end we have an envelope to open that we have to complete and send back to Grandma and Grandpa for their X-Mas gift. I wonder what is in the envelope??

Tonight is the UTAH game and we are watching it with some BYU fans. That should be fun!!

We drive home tomorrow. We'll probably leave early so that we can get home early.

We hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

Happy Birthday Dusty

Tuesday was Dusty's birthday. He has finally moved on to the 30's and I am left behind as a twenty-something. We joke about this because we feel so old sometimes. Like when we go to Cold Stone for ice cream and the kid serving us looks like a baby. Then we realize that that is what we looked like when we met. Crazy.

Anyhow, it wasn't a super exciting birthday. I had to go to school that night. So, the kids and I waited in the dark for Dusty to come home and we surprised him with his birthday cake and cards. Then, it was off to school for me. The kids didn't have school the next day, so he let them stay up and they played Rock Band until way after I got home from school.

Happy birthday Dusty. I love you.
