14 Days and Counting

Wow I'm finally back on.. It took me a while to catch up after my parents left.. I kinda put everything on hold when my parents came out and I have been trying to get back into the swing of things..

It was so great having my parents out for the Thanksgiving holiday and my birthday. It was the best birthday surprise ever. One I will never forget. This was the shot my mom took of me when it finally clicked that I was actually looking at my parents here on my door step.

Another one of us she took. I can definently see where all the turkey and pies went over the week.. I think I put on 5 pounds while they were here.. LOL

This was our wonderful turkey taken fresh right of the farm we live near. And this was us and our dinner.. I dont go all out crazy with the linens and decorations and stuff like that for thanksgiving. Its hard enough to just get all the food cooked... Maybe as I get older and our children marry and come back then we will get fancy...

Lucky our dog and Papa cuddeling in the chair.. My dog almost forgets who his owners are when Grandma and Grandpa come.. They spoil him rotten. He's like another one of the kids.. He gets so depressed when they leave.. My parents keep trying to talk me in to giving them our dog..They really miss him too!! LOL

Papa and Logan snoozing in the chair.

And this was me opening my presents for my birthday.. A few days after turkey day I got another surprise.. My bosch mixer came.. It wasn't supposed to come until after christmas but it showed up early.. Of course I wasn't allowed to open it and use it because it is supposed to be my b-day/christmas gift so I have to wait until we get back from utah. I really tried to negotiate but it didnt work...

Speaking of which.... ONLY 14 DAYS LEFT until we get to head back to Utah!!!! Yeah!!! We are all so excited...The kids are so excited they can hardly stand it.. They each have a calendar and they have been crossing off the days as they count down.... They already miss grandma and grandpa horribly not to mention the Grandmas and Grandpas and cousins and friends they havn't seen for a year now.. We are having a hard time trying to figure out how to squeeze in seeing everybody there in the 11 days we have. It is going to be a crazy week!! We will need a vacation from our vacation..
