DaNae came in on Tuesday night so we hung out a bit then... watching the finale of Dancing with the Stars! I was glad that Brooke won and Warren came in second! I worked on Wednesday, which was a bit crazy. Then we stayed up late hanging out and watching movies! We also get a turkey ready to fry the next day. We made the injection and it was SOOOOO good! On Thanksgiving morning it was my job to make rolls... That is what the above picture is. It just isn't the holidays without Grandma Perround's rolls! The whole pan was basiclly gone that day, they were so good. Between me, mom, and Meija we got to spread out the cooking and it was a fun day with food, naps, and games. I got to watch the parade in the morning, but the rest of the day the TV was on the 3 football games... it was a little disappointing that all three were pretty much blowouts.
Besides the fried turkey we had a Hawaiin turkey with rice bowls, that Lanae and DeNae love! Here are those two with Meija shredding up that turkey.
And here is our Thanksgiving spread!
I worked on Friday which was a little disappointing. There wasn't really that much to do, so we didn't really stay busy since they are updating the equipement again, but there was enough to stay so I was a bit bored most of the day. I was glad to play games when I got home. Scott, DaNae and I even decided to make a midnight run to Walmart and do some Christmas shopping... that was fun, there was almost no one in the store!
Mostly I am excited that the Christmas is really truely officially here. Now no one can complain about listening to Christmas music.... even if I have been doing it for a month now.
I'm glad to remember the meaning of Christmas at this time. 19 years ago today Scott's Dad and brother passed away and on Wednesday it will be 2 years since Michelle passed. I still remember the morning drive after I found out about Michelle and the overwhelming love I felt from the Savior. I am grateful to know that God has a plan for us and that the ones we love never really leave us because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, which is really the reason for the season!

Sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving! I'm still waitin to hear back from ya though! No hurry! :)
Hey Becky! It looks like things are going great for you this holiday season! It sounds like you guys are always on the move, always figuring out what the future holds...what fun! Well, maybe it doesn't always feel that way, but just knowing the future is just waiting for you to make it happen, day by day, is really cool. It's a fun phase you guys are in...sometimes I miss it with the phase I'm in being so different than that! But, when you have three beautiful babies, it's worth it. :)
I hope to see you sometime in the near future...I feel like I'm really bad at getting together with friends anymore but maybe that's just how life gets. That's why blogging is fantastic, right?
Well, have a great week, can't wait to see how your Christmas is!
Mandy
