Thanksgiving 09

We celebrated Thanksgiving at my mom's house this year! It was really laid back.. Derek is on his mission ( but my mom did bring up our golden pig and place it at the table in remembrace of the PRIZED PIG)! and Ashlie and her family went to Judd's parents this year so it was just me, Colby, Kade, my mom and dad and my Grandma Bonnie! My dad invited Jose and Antonio over to eat with us too ( They work for my dad). But they didn't make it for dinner. They came over a little later though and my mom fixed them up a plate. It was kind of awkward cause they don't speak much english and they didn't really seem like they wanted to eat! They kept picking at it and lookin at it. Maybe they felt a little weird celebrating Thanksgiving with us cause they did let us know that Hispanics don't really celebrate Thanksgiving...OOOPS! They were kind enough to humor us though:) They stayed for a little bit and tried to teach my dad some more spanish too! My dad is so funny he thinks that he is making progress because he can say things like MUCHO!! Uh dad everyone knows that word means BIG... Its not that cool! ha ha

After Some visiting and sittin around we watched "Four Christmases" It is a pretty good movie and it was fun to just realax and hang out and realize how blessed we are! I am so Thankful for my parents and my family ( Colbys included) They are so great to help us out in anyway that they can and they love us uncoditionally! I am Thankful for Colby and Kade and the family that we are building together... I can't picture what my life was like without them! I never knew what I was missing in my life! I am Thankful that Derek is on a mission and just having him out there is making all of us want to be better people! Thanks For the Exapmle that you are Derek:) We really have so much t0 be grateful for! Good Health, good friends, Good Food! Here is to Thanksgiving and taking the time to look around at all the good in our lives!
