Thanksgiving Adventures!

Our Thanksgiving weekend went by way too fast! Jason got off of night shifts on Wednesday morning. So I waited for him to get up before we headed to his parent's house in Alamo. Will I was being patient (which I am not good at) I made an apron to wear on Thanksgiving day and a turkey shirt for Jaylee to wear! We didn't get out of Battle Mountain until 6pm. I was very irritable and frustrated that we were leaving so late, but oh well life goes on! We arrived a little after 10pm. It was an eventful night and I didn't get much sleep.
Thanksgiving day arrived and I made deviled eggs and yams. I love yams and I wanted to make them, they turned out pretty good. After a very delicious Thanksgiving dinner we got ready to take family pictures. Of course Jason decided not to be very cooperative. He laid done to take a nap and I tried to wake him up for 30 minutes. He decided that 2 minutes before we were suppose to leave to get up. He changed his shirt and threw a hat on! I was so annoyed, but whatever we haven't had a family picture since Jaylee was born and so at this point I was just thankful that we were getting them done. The girl that took them, Lynette was amazing! I felt bad that she had to deal with such a grouchy family. She has a few of the pictures posted on her website. To see them click here . I can't wait to see the rest of them.
On Black Friday Jason and I were going to go shopping, but I decided it needed to be craft day instead. I brought stuff for my two sister in laws and my mother in law. We made countdown blocks and muffin tin count downs. They are turned out so cute! I played around on my MIL's cricket expression all day! I had a great time!
Saturday was my 27th birthday! I have decided that I am not going to have anymore birthdays! It always seems like it is the worst day of the year for me, so I am going to skip right over it from now on. We drove home on Saturday and Jason took me out for dinner while my parents watched the kids. I decided to skip church and stay home with Jaylee. I usually never ditch church, but I was so excited to get my Christmas decorations out. I didn't get much accomplished, but the tree is up and Brock and I are going to decorate it tonight.
Few...so that is how our Thanksgiving weekend went!

Oh I forgot to post some of my cute crafts I made for Thanksgivng!

Still moving!!

Well we are still in the process of moving. I do have to say that it is getting much better. We still don't have all of our stuff at our new house, but we will get there. I am so thankful that Jason has worked on our house all of his 7 days off. Poor guy, he hasn't had much of a break. I am happy to say that I now have a functioning kitchen and Jason has been working on the other bathroom and I think that it will be functioning by the time I get home today. So, things are looking up. I still have lots to unpack, but oh well I will get there.
I think that I am going to go to Salt Lake this weekend to do some Christmas shopping. It will be fun, because I can stay at my sister Melanie's house and I have a couple of cousins that can watch Brock. I think that I will take the truck, because I want to go to IKEA for some storage cabinets. I also want to go Tai Pan to get Christmas decorations for my tree. Since we moved my parents gave us one of their big trees. I want to get new decorations for it. This is the downfall to moving so close to Christmas, I have been so busy unpacking that I have not put my Christmas up get. I am a little sad, because this my favorite holiday season. Hopefully I will get it all up by next week.
We had a good thanksgiving at my parent's house. Mostly all my mom's family and my dad's parents were there. We had a good time! I was so excited that my uncle brought pies from Marie Calenders. The banana cream is my favorite! I also enjoy the left over turkey sandwiches. The day after Thanksgiving was my birthday! The big 26! My grandma took my uncle Swen and his family along with Brock to Orvada, where my great grandpa has a ranch. On there way back Jason, Stephanie, Edwin, and I met them in Winnemucca to watch a movie. Of course I went to Bolt with Brock. Jason, Steph, and Edwin went to the James Bond movie. We had a good time. Overall our Thanksgiving break was good!
