Despite not having any family this year, we had a nice Thanksgiving. The partying started early with all the snow Monday. Nobody went to work or school all week. It was so fun to have Braydan home, to relax and have snowball fights with the neighbors.
The kids couldn't stop looking at the snow, but they surprised me by not wanting to go out and play in it. (Sadly I didn't take a picture when it was at deep)
Thanksgiving morning I went to the gym with Emily and Angie for a fun Zumba workout. Then we had a breakfast at the Adams. All the guys had fun teasing us about Zumba.
The Brinkley family invited us for Thanksgiving dinner and they spoiled us good.
She went and bought toys and markers and paper for the kids to be entertained. So sweet.
We came to our house after for pie and played the "name game". So funny! Matt was pretty awesome with his Laura Ingall's impression. Friday I wasn't a crazy shopper, but I did leave before 7. I did a typical Jessica thing. I went to Target and thought I got really great deals on clothes for the kids, but then went to Oshkosh with all my coupons and got better deals, so I went back to Target and returned it all. I annoy myself sometimes.
I asked Braydan to build a mantel for my Christmas present and he got it done in a few hours one day. I love it and can't wait to hang the stockings up.

After!
Saturday Josh and Kara came for a visit. He brought us 25 lbs of meat, mostly steak. He's my hero! Thank you brother! It was nice to see them.
We are thankful for so many things this year. Here's our family list we made at FHE: hugs, Jesus, fires, zumba, primary, family, Daddy's job, books, spray on your hair(???), reading words, kiddos, playing the computer, phones, blankies, pencils, helping our family vacuum, paper, crayons, netflix, blueberries, porcupines and Christmas, home, slippers, dishwasher, Heavenly Father, teddy bears, baths, water, pictures, couches, friends and neighbors, missionaries, pirate's booty, scriptures and prophets, work, music, running, mountains, buttermilk syrup, steak, kids not fighting, fred meyers, and last but not least, ice cream.
Does anyone else have FHE's like this?

Oh my goodness, I started the video of your FHE thinking "yeah, we've all had bad ones..." but by the end I was just rolling on the floor! Nice selection for an opening song, Braydan, I will have to remember that one.
+1 to Matt's comment. Hilarious.
Cute posts. Brody liked watching the "crying" video he wants to know "why".I love the work done on the fire place.
Braydan, that was so funny!!!! Yes, I remember FHE like that, but Jessica was more like 12 years old :)
I am so impressed with the Mantal you built. Wow, you are getting so good at wood working.
I love the thankful list. you two are wonderful parents.
The FHE video is priceless! Why does FHE have to be SO hard! I love the mantel....Braydan is quite the handy man.
