Thanksgiving and Christmas Tree Hunting

Well i never did get our Halloween pictures posted so we'll just skip that part. We had a good Thanksgiving. We spent the day with the Anderberg's just hanging out and eating. Michael thought he had a turkey bowl all set up, but it fell through. He was a bit bummed, but they went and threw the football around and then played some tennis which he enjoyed. After dinner we went to the Critchfields (Michael's mom's). it was a little bit crazy. Michael's step-dad was diagnosed with Esohpegeal Cancer back in May and things have started to not look so good, well Thanksgiving was probably the worst day yet. Luckily we could be there to help support our Mom and everybody through this tough time.

Friday morning Michael and i got up at 4:00 and went and did the crazy shopping. it was actually pretty fun and we got some good deals. After we had gotten some more sleep we headed out to Vernal for the annual Christmas tree hunting party. Everybody was there! We also celebrated my mom's birthday, and for her birthday, all of us kids went together and got her a Wii. it was a lot of fun and will hopefully bring some good memories as we all make fools of ourselves playing the games.

Here's Ambre and Broc boxing. i wish i had done it as a video, i thought it was the funniest thing to watch.


And the cousins having a good ol' time. We found out that Michael and Lydia will be getting another cousin and Mack will be getting a new baby at his house! We are way excited for them, but that's not all of their good news. Broc got accepted to Medical school in St. Louis. We'll miss them, but hopefully he can get done and then start supporting us too :)

Here is our festive little Christmas Tree! i love having a real tree. They smell so good, even if sometimes they are a little pokey to decorate. We went up the mountain and there wasn't any snow, but boy was that wind cold!! But we found our family the perfect little tree regardless of the hardship! We always feel a little hickish bringing it home to SLC on top of our little Nissan, but i suppose that just ads to the adventure.
