Thanksgiving

We headed to Raft River for thanksgiving on Wednesday night. We got some cousin time and family time in. Thanksgiving day we went up to Grandpa Webb's house for a final family holiday there. There were a good number of the extended family there to eat and catch up with each other. I thought Pete would love thanksgiving because he loves to eat but I didn't factor in that he hates waiting for food and we ate at his nap time. He did not appreciate stating at a counter full of food for over half an hour before he could dive in. After he ate he was pretty good. Kendal loved running around with her extended cousins and the fish pond great uncle Kurt and aunt Kris put on. We had our fill of very yummy food. Casey went out and shot with bows with a group.
We returned to Grandma and Grandpa's. We played some more and uncle Cody joined us later.
Earlier in the month we made thankful leaves for FHE. It was nice to look at them all month as a good reminder to see some of the many things I thank God I have in my life.
Black Friday (or Thursday as it should be called now) wasn't a big deal this year. We went to a couple stores Friday and did a bit of shopping. After we ate lunch with Travis, Chelsea, and their sweet kids. Always nice to catch up with each other : ) Friday afternoon we went for a drive with Kenny and Cheryl to Malta and they picked out a pretty Christmas tree. Pretty much all of Casey's family does a real tree. I grew up with fake trees, I can't smell to enjoy a real tree and I don't like the fuss, sap, and needles so we go with an artificial tree.
We had a good time visiting with Grandma and Grandpa. Casey had practice Saturday so we came home and we put our own tree up.
It was a good weekend full of yummy food and great family.
Sorry no pictures. Our camera is pretty much dead. Luckily we found a good deal on a new one for Christmas.
