Thanksgiving

On Sunday the 21st David and I put Christy on a plane headed to Salt Lake City to spend a week with Grandma Cosgrove. Monday the 22nd I went to a Maria Shriver food giveaway at the ASYMCA. I got a box filled with non perishible food and two bags of produce. Monday night David and I went out to dinner at Olive Garden. Wednesday when David got home from school at 9:30pm we left for Enterprise. We drove straight thru to Pine Valley. We got to the cabin around 5 am Utah time. We slept for a while after we got there. When we got up everyone was busy getting everything ready for Thanksgiving dinner. There were so many Bushar's at the cabin. The noise was deafening! I was so glad that I did not have to worry about any children. It was nice to just relax and enjoy the family. We had a very delicious feast. I had the best stuffing that I've ever had. I need to get the recipe. After dinner the Bushar's had a family meeting. This was the first one that I have been too. It was great, everyone took turns, there was no yelling, no crying, no fighting and people would raise their hand to talk. Thanksgiving was a great day. It was so nice to be up at the cabin with family. Friday David and I headed to St. George to see my family and run some errands. We had some shopping to do and we had to take David's glasses in for repair. We went to Kohls just to check on a MP3 player we had seen in their ad. We didn't ever find the MP3 player but the line of people waiting to check out looked like a two hour wait so I am glad that we couldn't find it. Craziness of Black Friday. We got to see Sarah and her kids, that was nice. We had a Beasley family meeting. So very different from the Bushar's. I was embarassed that Grandma Humes had to see what happened. My family meeting was out of control. Crying, fighting, raised voices, emotions high. Oh well, I'm just glad it's over. Friday night we spent at the cabin again. Saturday David got his hair cut and we went out to eat at Texas Roadhouse. We spent Saturday night at the World Mark in Vegas. Sunday morning we picked Christy up at the airport and headed home. It took a little over seven hours to get from Vegas to home. The traffic was crazy. I was so glad to get home. This week it is back to reality :( We only have one car right now so I am stuck at home. I guess that's probably a good thing though, that way I can't spend money :) I decorated the house and tree on Monday and last night David got me a new Christmas CD from Deseret book. I love this time of year!!!

The first picture is of David's mustache. This is the first time in out two and a half year marriage that I have seen him with facial hair. When he was out playing war he didn't shave and he let it go for last week as well. I took the picture right before he shaved it off. He has a lot of white and red hair in his moustache. The he middle picture is David and I at the cabin before we went out and played in the snow. David pulled me on the sled, we made snow angels and we had a snowball fight. The last picture is what it looked like outside of my hosue the other morning. The fog was really low and stayed for most of the morning.
