Thanksgiving this year was really quiet and chill. We had dinner at Winnan and Norm's like we always do on Thanksgiving Day. It was super yummy. We had the normal Thanksgiving Stuff like turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc. But then everyone brought some other yummy stuff. We brought some sugar cookie dessert pizza and some fudge. So good!
Anyway, the meal was awesome, as always. But Toph and Brit were not with us this year, so there were less people and Lynley and Chad's fam was down in St. George. So it was just us and Mandy/Regan's family. We also had a few aunts & uncles (Jan & Cheryl) and cousins (Missy and Marn) come too. So after we ate and cleaned up, everyone left but us. Mandy's fam had to go and eat at the in-laws house. And Matt left at 4 to go up Blacksmith Fork Canyon with some of his high school buddies. (They do it every year, but they usually do it Friday night of Thanksgiving Weekend. They ride 4-wheelers up the canyon and sleep in a warming hut and come home in the morning.) Anyway, this year they had to do it Thanksgiving Night to accommodate everyone. So it was just me and my kids Thursday night. We rented a bunch of movies, put Crew to bed early and had a movie night. It was nice! Way more chill than I am use too. We did miss Matt though. Kinda lonely without dad!
We did take some Thanksgiving Pics at the end of the day. Kinda of an after thought. That is why Matt is not in the pics.
Movie Night...Corey has been wanting to watch Titanic. So we rented Titanic and watched that. She was a little sad afterwards. Had to forward through a few scandalous parts I had forgotten about. But it was sad to know that all those people died and to see how the poorer class was treated!
Becca and Jr came up late Friday night and stayed through Sunday. We did some fun things. We went to the Jump Zone and acted like 16 yr olds. (Definitely felt it later. Sucks to get old!) You know your getting old when you do a front flip into the foam pit and afterwards feel sick and dizzy. Felt like a roller coaster. JR and Matt did not want to jump. Sorry we did not get them in any pics.
We also did a little Saturday shopping, not Black Friday shopping! We went to Novemberfest in Logan and a few other stores. Then that night we decorated the tree! Becca always likes to help us decorate our tree Thanksgiving Weekend. Think it might have become a tradition!
We also played a little soccer scrimmage Sunday afternoon after church. The kids like to do that with JR and Becca cause they are so fast and they have SKILLS! Thanks Becca and JR for coming up and letting us get a little Maughan Tradition in our Thanksgiving Weekend. Love ya!
