Thanksgiving Weekend

What a GREAT weekend!! It started out by not having to work Thursday and Friday! YAY!

I was invited to eat Thanksgiving with Barrett and Chantel and the kids at Little America. Mom and Dad decided to come up and eat with us. Barrett and Chantel flew in Wednesday. The Little America buffet was excellent. We had to get in line around 9:30. Mom and Dad picked me up at 9 and we got in line (we were right towards the front). Dad stood in line for tickets and me and mom were in the food line. At about 10:30 or so, the Labrums came! When the kids saw Grandpa, they were SO excited! Max made everyone laugh with his comment how he LOVES porkchops! Morgan said that on thanksgiving she HAS to have chocolate! After we ate, we had a nice visit then The Labrums headed back up to Brigham City. I think I ate too much, I needed a nap!

The next day, I got woke up by little tapping on my door. It was the Gale kids! We were having a family get together at Nancy's. It was the first time in 3 years the family has been together. We had some pictures taken at a little railroad museum in Lehi and then went back to Nancy's for some turkey sandwiches. Later on, we went up to Salt Lake and went swimming at Mom and Dads hotel. The kids all loved it! Tyler laughed and laughed at Morgan jumping in the pool. He loves when people splash. At the end of the night, we all said our goodbyes. It was so hard to say goodbye to the little Labrum kids. Morgan just hugged me. The few days we were together, she was by my side. I told her that we can talk on the phone. She is so sweet! Max started leaving before I got to say bye to him. I called him back and told him he forgot to say bye, he said "oh yeah, i forgot!" with his little lisp.

Thanks to Nancy for the pictures. Tyler had a breakdown so the pictures he is in, he is crying, but that is ok. Morgan LOVES pictures. She told me when we were heading to Nancy's that she loves pictures because she is so cute. I love the picture of me and the Gales and Kayden laying on my shoulder. I am so grateful to have such a loving family and to have been able to have them here this weekend. When you see those kids, how could you not love them!?!?! :)

And then, to top of the Holiday Weekend, BYU WON! How could it have been any better! :)
