Thanksgiving

We had a fun Thanksgiving this year. Logan, Autumn and I had dinner at my parents house and it was delicious and gorgeous! Thanks mom for always going ALL OUT for the Holidays! Logan and I were the only ones that came home for Thanksgiving this year. Becca and Jake went to Jake's Families house, Rachael and Brett were in Italy for their 8 year Anniversary (No fair, Right?) but their kids were there. Julie and Seth were in California and James is on his mission in Texas. So almost half of the family was missing this year. It made for a very quiet Thanksgiving. Well, quiet for my family anyway :) It was nice how relaxed everything was, but I missed having everyone home. Especially Juli, I can't remember when the last Thanksgiving I got to have with her was :( boo miss you Juli.

My Mom and Dad made the Turkey just how I like it. Soaked and Slow cooked in Apple Juice. It makes for a very tender and sweet bird. Mmmm Mmm good! And of course all the other good stuff was there too. I am proud to say that for once I did NOT over eat! go me! I didn't even have Pie. Crazy right? Well after dinner at my parents we headed back to Kaysville for craft time at Logan's moms. :) I love the Christmas craft after dinner tradition they have. It is so fun. I was in charge of the craft this year and we made these lovely wreaths out of Christmas Ornaments! Aren't they so much fun? I just love them. I love Brooke's the most. It turned out SOOOO cute! way to go Brooke.

 This one is Brooke's dot' you love the Owl? so cute right?

I made the other two. I should have taken pictures of all the wreath that everyone made, but I didn't take pictures till almost everyone had left. Oh well.

Well another Thanksgiving come and gone, way too fast. But I loved it.

So now we go onto the Day after Thanksgiving...BLACK FRIDAY!!! 
Logan and I decided to try black Friday out this year. Our original plan was to stand in line at WalMart and get a TV. But Logan got a little excited and ordered one from Target like 2 days before...it was a pretty good deal. We're excited for it to get here. It turned out to be pretty nice that we didn't have to wait in the freezing cold weather for hours. Instead we went to the mall at Midnight with his family to people watch! People are crazy. It was fun. Joy Brooke and I found some cute stuff at Wet Seal, although their black friday deals were not to die for. We all got a free watch out of it too which I am excited about! Thanks Joy! 

Friday night we went to Temple Square to see the lights with Colby and Emily. We had a nice time. But it was really cold. Man I do not like being cold. Autumn sure looked cute in her puffy coat and mittens.
