Thanksgiving Break!

For my Thanksgiving Break I spent the week at Jared and Amanda's house. For thanksgiving day meal we headed over to Aunt Julie's house in Peoa for thanksgiving day dinner. Jared was on call, and has luck would have it he was called in when we were half way there, so we turned around and headed back to his work. Jared quickly took care of business and we headed up again, making it just in time for dinner. The meal was absolutely delicious, especially the orange rolls. I'm glad I had family in town to spend the break with, though I did miss making food next to mom and eating her special pudding salad- the orange juice, coconut cream pudding one!

Some of my highlights during the week were:

-Making pumpkin, I made the crusts and Amanda made the filling. Thank goodness for near by grocery stores that are open up late at night. FYI shortening not butter is used for crusts.

-Grocery Hunting for foods I have never heard of and watching a guy run off with the turkey we were in front of, contemplating if we were going to get it or not.

-Eating traditional turkey cheese sandwiches with gravy for dinner the next night

-Playing cards... (I can't remember the name of the game)

-Having a CarrotCake on Friday (to make it a bit more of a surprise) for my Birthday, In which I brought it home on Saturday, and ate it all that night by myself! I'm really glad I didn't bring the whole thing home or I probably would have eaten it all, which would not be the smartest choose, delicious... no denying that, but not the smartest. It was gone by 11:25 that night!

-Getting my wool coat from Old Navy. (I must comment how rare it is I buy things... I bought it after only looking at one other coat in one other store!... Shock!!!)

-Hitting the end of Black Friday shopping with Ella and Amanda.

ToysRUs.... Its been a while since I have seen so many toys!!! Ella loves anything with wheels

I just HAD TO stick her in the big pile of pillows at WalMart! Isn't she Cute? (Like always!)

-And spending time with them in general!!! Ella loved playing with my bag, she especially liked pulling out my scarf and playing with my hat. Here is a couple of random cute pictures.

Yah BYU baby! She knows who to cheer for in Track...

(P.S. BYU won the game vs. U of U, they should thank me

since it was my Birthday... Great Game!)

Well... That's my Thanksgiving Break 2009!
