Thanksgiving 2008
Thanksgiving is my favorite holdiay, but it just isn't Thanksgiving without a ton of amazing food, pretty table settings, and a big crowd, so we convinced Ben's family to drive down and join us. Wish it would never end!
The place settings that go on and on and on....

It's good to have a full table!
Our day at Watson Lake. The kids, the rocks, the water. We only gave Pa a couple heart attacks with the kids jumping around the high rocks :)
Who doesn't love Rock Band? The best game EVER!
And top off the trip with a private heli tour of the Prescott Valley area! It's great being married to a pilot!

Thanksgiving is Coming
I'm on the verge of turkey thawing, pie baking, table setting and house cleaning for our guests who will be here tomorrow! Can it be that close already? Yay! We somehow convinced Ben's family they should come down and visit us for Thanksgiving, and we're so excited. To get in the mood, my friend Cyndi sent out this email. Just had to post it for any who wanted a good thanksgiving laugh:
THE GOOD NAPKINS
Ahhhhh The joys of having Girls. My mother taught me to read when I was four years old (her first mistake). One day, I was in the bathroom and noticed one of the cabinet doors was ajar I read the box in the cabinet. I then asked my mother why she was keeping ''napkins' in the bathroom. Didn't they belong in the kitchen? Not wanting to burden me with unnecessary facts, she told me that those were for 'special occasions' (her second mistake).
Now fast forward a few months . . . It's Thanksgiving Day, and my folks are leaving to pick up my uncle and his wife for dinner. Mom had assignments for all of us while they were gone. Mine was to set the table (her third mistake).
When they returned, my uncle came in first and immediately burst into laughter. Next came his wife, who gasped, then, began giggling. Next came my father, who roared with laughter. Then came Mom, who almost died of embarrassment when she saw each place setting on the table with a 'special occasion' Kotex napkin at each plate, with the fork carefully arranged on top. I had even tucked the little tail in so they didn't hang off the edge!! My mother asked me why I used these and, of course, my response sent the other adults into further fits of laughter.'But, Mom, you said they were for special occasions!!!'

I Spy Fabric Weakness
If I didn't already have a hard time restraining myself from buying cute fabric, these I spy bags have definitely done it to me. At least I only need a little of each so I'm not totally breaking the bank. Here are the options

Halloween 2008
Batman (Ben), Pegasus (Samantha), Pumpkin (Anabelle), Rapunzel (Alaura), Spider Girl (Talia)
We did a quick trip to a few of the neighbors, then hit the ward Trunk-or-Treat and ended up at a party at the Beaty's where we rocked out to Rock Band, played by the fire and had a great time getting a sugar high and running around with friends. Ben & I dressed up as James Bond and Penny, but since we didn't get any pictures you'll just have to use your imagination :)
