Thanksgiving Highlights

We had such a nice Thanksgiving weekend

• My mom made the yummiest dinner. Everything seriously tasted so, so good.
• We enjoyed being together as a family, including Grandma and Jerrie
• My mom, sister, and I went to Black Friday (midnight edition) to check out the deals. We bought towels. Lots and lots of towels. Between the three of us, over 60 of them.
• We took the kids to Tangled
• We took a quick girls trip to St. George
• We loved on the nieces and nephew
• Clint taught us how to play Texas Hold 'em (I have no idea if that's how you spell it).
• We watched a DVD or two
• Clint taught my mom how to use her computer (anxiously waiting your comment, Mom)
• And, to top off the weekend, it took us almost six hours to get home due to bad weather and tons of traffic. We arrived safely though, so all is good.

Happy Day

Today Caitlin had a BIG ortho appointment- she got her MARA appliance off! She is one happy girl. I think she would be happier though if it didn't mean now she can have a MRI. Our Orthodontist wanted clarification from Radiology concerning what would need to come off for the MRI (braces, wires, bands, all, some, nothing) so we went to our lovely new PCMC that is located a hop, skip, and a jump away from our home for answers. It is such a beautiful facility and the people there are helpful and kind... oh, and there are XBox 360's for the kids to play with while they wait. Sweet! We are scheduled for January. It will have been 15 months since the last MRI, our longest break ever.

In other news, our lives are out of control. We are busy. Meetings, work, parent/teacher conferences, visiting and home teaching, cleaning and organizing, errands, haircuts, work lunches, fun lunches, Christmas shopping, ward party, Stake dance, soccer conditioning, drivers Ed, science fair, camping trip, and the list goes on and on and on...

I love this time of year though and can't wait to see my family next week for Thanksgiving!
