Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving this year was full of surprises. Trevin came home from school on Wednesday and announce that he had been chosen in his class as the best turkey gobbler and he received a large Hersey candy bar. We were all so proud, I guess it may have something to do with the fact that he is completely fascinated by all birds, plus my sister and I are always trying to make him make gobbling noises. Then on Thanksgiving morning we ventured out to do a little shopping before it was time to do the cooking. We managed to hit two stores and make it home in time for breakfast. That afternoon I put the Turkey into the roaster and continued to prepare for the feast. Well you see I was hosting this year and all seemed to be going well until about 10 minutes before everyone arrived, and my meat thermometer just wouldn't work. I call my dad and he brought his, an hour and a half later than planned we figured out that my roaster wasn't working properly. So we improvised and made it through. All in all we had a great day just spending time together as a family.

Birthday gift certificate

Today I went out to the Mall on a mission. I was looking for a new jacket. My current jacket is in a sad state and I needed to replace it. Lucky for me three of my good girlfriends gave me a mall gift certificate for my Birthday so I went shopping. After many stores and many different jackets I finally found one that fit the bill. When I got home I walked right up to the garbage can and tossed my old one in with out any regrets. That jacket has been my favorite for many years and I hope the new one fills it spot well. Thanks to my friends for the great gift it was well needed and will be well worn.

My Birthday Dinner

Since my Birthday is on Halloween we generally have to celebrate it on another night because we are always so busy with the holiday. This year we had made arrangements to go up to Salt Lake City and see Dracula Vs. the Hunchback at the Off Broadway Theater ( I would totally recommend going up and seeing a show or laughing stock it is so much fun). We decided to stop at the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. We had never been there before and we were really impressed the food was fantastic and there menu was extremely extensive. They definitely cater to everyone. Plus there cheesecake was fabulous. The only thing missing was my little girl, but we figured she would have more fun at McDonald with Nana.

Halloween 08

Once again we made it through another Halloween. Although the days and weeks prior we were busy with countless family party's, school programs and activity's we managed to make it with out a fight. Trevin went as a Vampire bat and Teagan went as a China girl and boy didn't they just look fantastic. I have to say thanks to everyone for all the fun and we can't wait until next year ( that is everyone but mom).
