This year we were blessed to be able to go to Orem to get to have Thanksgiving with Luke's Family.We left on Monday to have a few days to get some things done up there and Luke had a side job to do. It was so nice to get to be back up there for a few days since we all know how much I love it there. And then we were ready to just relax and be with family on Thursday. We were all there except for Lukes brother Eric and his wife Ashlie who came up after we ate, and his brother Kiley who lives in california. Marty and Mary hosted us all and their home is large enough for us all to fit and enjoy ourselves.It was so fun for my kids to play with all of the cousins and the adults were able to chat and play games and enjoy each others company. Oh and the food was unbelievable of course. We had planned to leave after dinner to go to St. George for Black Friday shopping with my family but the Beaumont's begged and begged and begged until they talked us into staying. I in return talked some of them into shopping with me which ended up being a good trade off. Eric, Ashlie, Amber, Carrie, Luke and I went shopping at nine that night to wal-mart, target, and toys-r-us and we totally scored! I was able to get everything that I wanted and then some, but I must say it was a way crazier experience in orem than it is in St. George. We were back in bed by three and then Ashlie and I shopped together the whole next day which was fantastic. No whinny kids, no whinny husband just good wholesome shopping, now I'm almost completely done with christmas shopping Yay!
