Much Needed Thanksgiving Break

Thanksgiving break has been marvelous! I'm not quite ready to return to a busy full schedule. Reality calls I suppose. We've had a great time watching movies and eating popcorn and whatever else we've wanted. I took the kids to Despicable Me 3 at the dollar movie theater. The kids watched it over the summer but I hadn't seen it yet. I loved it. I loved the 80's villain and all of his 80's songs and dance moves. Ha. On Wednesday we got packed up and headed to my parent's house for Thanksgiving. We made it in time for yummy soup and pie night. Hart's family was also there. We watched a couple of movies that night. On Thanksgiving my mom had everything done early as usual. We ate and then we headed up and watched my dad burn down the branches that he and my brother and nephew had been cutting down for a couple of days. After that we went and hiked around Rocky Canyon for a bit. The weather was really nice. It was sunny and warm (for Arco in November) and no wind. It was a great way to break up the day. We later just ate more and played games and watched movies. On Friday morning we headed home.

My friend Karen's mom died on Friday night. She was in the hospital and wasn't going to recover so they pulled the plug. She doesn't have any family in town so she ended up coming over here so she wouldn't be alone. She stayed the night and left after breakfast. It was sad. Death is sad.

On Saturday we got together with all of our friends and had a pie night. It was fun and delicious. My pie was kind of a pinterest fail but it did taste good so that's all that matters. All week I've been having a Call the Midwife marathon session. I just finished season 6. That might be my favorite show ever. So good! Well I need to go make Sunday dinner and then go to bed. Ha. 4:15 am wake up call again. Oh the horror!

Scott got his c-pap machine. It is so quiet! It's amazing. I can't hear him breathing anymore either. It's crazy. It's pretty uncomfortable for him at this point and he's not sleeping well yet. He looks like Hannibal Lecter in it, It's kind of terrifying. Ha.

Gabby with her friend Mika. She had to have three play dates during the break. Oy!

My mom's dinner. SOOO GOOD! Jory the sweet potatoes this year and they were amazing!

Some of us eating dinner. My dad and Hart and Braden were getting washed up. They were late! Ha.

Gabby just latched onto my dad this last trip. It was pretty cute. She kept doing his errands with him. Precious.

I would like to know the story behind the naming of this. Ha. 

I was trying to watch a show and I got bombarded. 

As soon as we got back from Thanksgiving Gabby busted this out. 

My peanut butter chocolate pie. Ha. There was too much filling and then I couldn't  get the whip cream to spread. The pie hardened but it quickly turned to soup when it was being served. It did taste good at least.

I've ordered three shirts from China on a website called Wish. They sell cheap stuff that is pretty hit and miss and then you have to wait 2 months for it to come in the mail. In the picture this shirt is navy and cream and the elbow patched are actual yon the elbows. Oh well, it's still pretty cute.
