Thanksgiving and More

So I'm trying to think if anything fun has happened before Thanksgiving but I can't think of anything so...

For Thanksgiving we were with Justin's family this year. We went up to Idaho to spend time with his Grandpa and sister and her family up there. We had a lot of fun up there visiting with family and eating. We drove up Thursday morning. It wasn't a bad drive at all. The roads were clear which we were very thankful for. We got up there and Justin relaxed and played with his nephews. I helped Justin's mom and sister (well at least tried to) with dinner. I helped with the whipped topping for the pies and then I learned how to make orange rolls for dinner. (Good thing the batter was already done because I didn't want to mess that up). We had a nice time. We ate around 1 and cleaned up. We looked at the ads to see if we wanted to go shopping or not. Then we left for home at 4.

We ended up going shopping at midnight at WalMart for some deals. We got rubbermaid containers, movies, sheets, a vacuum and a handmixer all for a great steal. We were really excited. After that we went home so I could get some sleep to go to work the next day :(

On Saturday it was my Dad's 50th birthday! Happy Birthday Dad! We love you! That morning Justin got to hang out with his friends and play a game they all love. That evening we went to my parents house for dinner and enjoyed laughing and talking. Candice and her family came into town and we just had a great time. My Dad loved his birthday gifts. I think my Mom gave him the best one of all. It was letters from us and pictures of the kids. It was great!

Thats about whats happened in a nut shell. Oh, I got to pick up Justin's quilt that I'm making him. It looks so good. Now all I have to do is do the binding and it's done. I will post pictures of it once its complete. I love it and it turned out a lot better than what I thought it would which is always a plus.
