Slacker

It's been over a month since I last blogged and I keep thinking of things I need to blog about. So, I hope I can get caught up tonight. First, Thanksgiving was wonderful! All of Gary's siblings, his parents and most of his neices and nephews came to our house for Thanksgiving. I had never hosted Thanksgiving so I was a little nervous but things went well. Michele and her family stayed at out house which was a wonderful excuse to clean house and get organized. I was so thrilled with the way it cleaned up that I took pictures. Almost every room in my house was clean at the same time and I promise that doesn't happen often. I even called my mom so that I would have witnesses. (I must admit here that Gary did most of the work while I was at school. He is wonderful!)
Thanksgiving day was a lot of fun visiting with family and eating all of the wonderful food. I especially loved Greg's Corn Thang. Maybe I will share the recipe later. Friday morning instead of going shopping with all of the money none of us have we hung around Littlefield and let the city kids ride horses. Cassie and Jessie were thrilled! They are both horse fanatics but have never ridden a horse before. They kept saying that it was the best day of their lives.
Friday afternoon tragedy struck when Anya was running down the street in front of the house. She tripped and shattered one of her front teeth. So that afternoon was spent running to the dentist, who was a sweetheart and opened the office just for her. So now, she is a toothless girl. It didn't stop us from taking pictures Saturday of her and Danna in their Halloween costumes. They were so cut I just had to get pictures of them and Michele is a wonder with the camera. I wanted to get pictures of them in their Christmas dresses too but they had enough of pictures after the Halloween costumes. Then we went to St. George to visit and do a little shopping.
Sunday morning, early, all of our company left, and cleaned the basement before they went. I told Greg that now I am afraid to visit them in CA because he spent all of his time here cleaning my house. Michele even cleaned my fridge! They are wonderful company and Danna misses them terrible. She is already planning for when they can come again. I vote Easter break! The weather will be nice and we can go exploring!
