Thanksgiving weekend

There are several things that I absolutely love about Thanksgiving. I love waking up to lots of family, nieces/nephews and the smell of turkey already cooking...James and I live close to family this year so we slept at our apartment alone and so this didn't happen. I love watching the parade on TV...we don't have TV so we didn't watch it. I love all of the delicious food; turkey, stuffing, potatoes, and LOTS of pie! I've had a horrible sinus infection and have not had the pleasure of being able to smell or taste for the last week! I love Black Friday - it is the BEST to get up at 4 and rush inside every store to try and find the ONE thing you're in search of! Except, we didn't get up to go that early because we we're exhausted and didn't see anything we really wanted. So, James and I got up at 9 drove to Target and Wal Mart, walked around and bought really cheap movies.

However, I DO love lots and lots of family! And we had plenty of it this weekend. I made pie with James's side of the family on Wednesday night. Yes, I made my first pie all by myself - it was a delicious pumpkin pie; James's favorite. We spent Thursday relaxing at James's house and then had a delicious feast with his family. We spent Friday with my family - playing games and eating lots of yummy leftovers (still, could not taste!) On Saturday we went to our friends Ian and Crystal and watched the BYU football game. Did you watch it? Because it was great...yes, the Cougars won - too bad for those Utes. BYU is just better :)

I have to admit - I'm quite sad that this weekend is over and that I didn't take any pictures! I promise my camera is in my purse. I just forget to pull it out and take pictures - it takes time, it gets in the way :) I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and enjoyed your time off! Christmas vacation is three weeks away....perfect!

I fixed it!

Ok I fixed the blog, now you can see the text and the background :)

What the?

Guys I don't know what is going on...but my blog is messed up. I can't get any backgrounds on here and I can't even get the basic templates that blogspot offers. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong w/ my blog? If I have to make a new one...freak, I'll be ticked.

Halloween Weekend

Our Halloween weekend was fun but very busy! On Friday night James and I went with his mom, his sister, Candace, and his aunt to a witch show at Gardner Village in Midvale. I'd never been to Gardner Village - it's this cute "old town" with lots of little shops and I'm assuming they decorate and do different shows for every holiday/season. The food was good and the show was hilarious - lots of singing and the actors were funny. Sadly, I forgot my camera - Candace took a ton so maybe I'll steal some from her and post them later.

On Saturday, I made a quick trip to Blackfoot for trunk or treating with all of my nieces and nephews and a baby blessing on Sunday. James worked on Saturday and played with his family on Saturday night. He and his nephews sent me lots of pictures and videos of their Halloween costumes and their magic tricks :) I took my camera home but no pictures were taken...except, my sister, Rachelle snapped a few. This is me at the trunk or treat...I'm suppose to be Raggedy Anne but all we saw was a big fat fatty - ha!

Please tell me you love it :)
