THANKS FOR THANKSGIVING!

One of the best holidays... I'll admit, if it weren't for Luke I would more tempted to rush into Christmas, but thankfully he reminds me Thanksgiving IS one of the best holidays.  And this year didn't disappoint!
We started off by going to the cabin last Tuesday night.  Luke had Wednesday day off so we headed our early so I could help cook on Wed.
Luke was my dad's buddy all day. They went coyote calling and hung Christmas lights.  The kiddos had fun in the little bit of snow

 

Tianna was there too. Just sadly I didn't get any pics of her.  She was always too busy playing to be found.  

Thursday-TURKEY DAY was fun. and crazy.
What do you expect with the entire family together... which included 13 kids under 12?  So it was loud and it was busy. but that's what Thanksgiving is about!.......... oh, and showing gratitude for all our many many many many many blessings!
We ate ourselves silly and then that night we played a really fun game as a family and laughed our heads off before heading to Castle Dale.

 Ahhh baby Bridger.

 That's a lot of plates!

 The chaos begins :)

Friday was "thanksgiving" with Grandma and Grandpa Lake.  It was VERY fun. So fun, I forgot to take the camera out.  We even got cute turkey's LIKE these as treats (again, i forgot the camera so no actual photos)

 

The fun was dampened by one bit of sad news though: Raleigh (who just turned 2) was admitted to the hospital with a serious sinus and bladder infection.  Luckily he is doing much better now! Unfortunately, he and his parents spent over 24 hours in the hospital and missed the fun family party.

Saturday Luke and his dad went out coyote calling for most of the morning, then went shooting.  Good ol' boy time!
Meanwhile, Grandma "Banana" (Belinda) helped give Adelia her second haircut ever.  First one was almost a year ago to just cut off her long rat tail.  This was the first over all haircut.

 This is her "i'm holding still mom, see!" pose. Convinced? Didn't think so

 Look, it's all fluffy and even!

Then it was back to Scofield because a special visitor was showing up.
First though-- trap shooting.  I always forget how much I enjoy it.  Until my arms feel like jell-o from the manly sized guns.  My sister made fun of me because the gun looked so big for me.  But I still managed to hit myself some clay pigeons.  :)

Now stay tuned for the next post:  It's gonna be AWESOOOOOME! :D
