Turkey Time

I decided I needed to do an update before the year is over. First off Caleb is doing well and back to his old self. The only difference is the medication routine everyday. And some other good new is Lance got his cast off. He still has a bump on his arm but it is healing well and only 2 more weeks with a brace. The doctor said he only needed to wear it when he was running or might fall. He doesn't know Lance very well so I told Lance he needed to wear it all the time. At least he can now wash him arm.
Lindsay and Ryan stayed with us the weekend before Thanksgiving to go to the temple.The girls have so much fun together and it is fun that both sets are so close in age. After they got home we headed up to Prescott for the weekend for a pre- Thanksgiving with the Lowry family. It was alot of fun with a lot of people. My boys love going to Prescott to play in the woods. And play they did. They played frisbee, rode a big wheel down the very steep driveway and explored the woods. Thankfully no one got hurt.


After our weekend gone our kids had to catch up with the neighborhood kids. Practically the whole week of thanksgiving the played outside. They really didn't have much homework so that gave even more time to play. Again I will say we really enjoy our neighbors and that our kids have so many friends to play with.
Thanksgiving was John's birthday. He went to play Turkey Bowl with some guys from church. No injuries to report, Yeah!! After that he went to the park to fly his remote control airplane. Well it died and went into the lake. There were no fishermen around so in he went to save the silly plane. The people at the park got quite a laugh. Thanksgiving dinner was at my parents house. The food was wonderful and we always have fun with all the family together.

John and I kind of started a tradition to go shopping on Black Friday without kids. We get a babysitter and go all day. We didn't go until 6:30 but we still got the deals we wanted and were tired at the end of the day. It has been a busy couple of weeks but we are excited for Christmas and have started getting the decorations up.

Wow! How fun! Poor Caleb. Hope he stays well. And yeah for Lance! Hope he doesn't get hurt again anytime soon! Great post! I totally forgot to take pictures on Thanksgiving. What kind of scrapper/blogger am I? Jeepers! I'm a firm believer in Black Friday. I almost didn't go this year, but I'm SOOOO glad I decided to go at the last minute. I'm pretty much done after 2 hours of shopping! Woo hoo!
