I began the festivities a day earlier by spending the day with my Aunt Evelyn to make my grandma's famous 'DREAMS'....Dreams are heavenly cream center chocolates that we have been making since I was a little girl..so I thought I should have my nieces come over to help us 'dip'. I remember growing up and helping my grandmother when I was their age dip the centers and roll them in nuts and salivate while they set up....the girls loved every minute of it and so did I.
And then it was time for the main event...the big show...TURKEY TIME!!
This year we spent thanksgiving with my family at my parents house. Everyone was there...
my favorite sister Rachele: (and Aaron...he's great too)
My niece Cristel with my Grandpa...(thanks grandpa for letting me mess up your house making chocolates!)
My cute little niece Halle (my brothers daughter)...she got to try a little thanksgiving too....She liked the potatoes.
Yes everyone was there and the food was great....but there was a little matter to attend to....My niece attends school at BYU Idaho, or Ricks as it was formerly called...and as you know, I attend the University of Utah....so there was a school war that needed to be handled ONCE AND FOR ALL....
We look happy together....but there is a storm brewing....
The fight begins....It's a close one....
But in the end...I AM VICTORIOUS!!! GO UTES!
This was my cheering section....(the rest of my family are BYU fans)
I specifically bought him a Ute shirt and made him wear it...I thought that would give me the advantage...and I think it did.
After we stuffed ourselves silly we followed our usual tradition and went to see a movie...this year it was New Moon. Even John went to see it, it was his first(and probably last)time seeing it...the rest of us are fans and this was a return trip =)
The rest of the weekend was filled with shopping...sleeping and sitting around..just what I like to do with my time off...
Now it's time for Christmas and all the hustle and bustle...sigh....
