So our first Thanksgiving wasn't exactly how we had wanted it. We are planning on going to California at Christmas time to spend this year with my family, so that required us to make a few sacrifices. Thanksgiving was one of them. In order to get Christmas off Abram worked Thanksgiving day from 10 am til 7 pm. So I spent Thanksgiving Day packing and cleaning our house. Luckily after Abram got off work we were able to drive to Enterprise to spend some of the weekend with my parents.
It ended up being a VERY QUICK but really fun couple of days for us. We got there really late on Thursday night and then on Friday morning we headed for St. George to watch Abram's 14 year old cousin Dallin play in a soccer tournement. Since my dad was working at their store that day, we brought my mom along(It's the first soccer game I've ever known of her going to). Dallin's team ended up winning and it was a fun experience to go watch him at Dixie College.
The next day my parents, Abram, and I went out to eat in St. George and played 2 hours of Laser Tag! Which I was very happy about! We were happy to have been able to spend time with family even if it wasnt on Thanksgiving Day!

Our first Thanksgiving was at your parent's house. Twas working nights and I think I went in that night. Idid work Christmas Eve and Cgristmas so that I could get 10 days off to go to CA for New Years. One of the nurses I worked with came in for me and worked the second half of my Christmas Eve Shift, so I could go home and have Christmas with Alma- at 2 am and then I went to bed. Love you and can't wait to see you. Is Mike coming for Christmas? I keep hearing different things.
Ummm can you tell I did't proof read- silly girl.
Yeah, I know what you mean about having to make sacrifices. Most of our trips don't last more than 2 days! Sorry we couldn't wait for you guys to get there to play laser tag! We'll have to have a re-match! How did Abram do?
I love your pictures!! I'm so glad you have a blog so we can keep in touch. Our Thanksgiving seemed short, too. I guess a short break is better than none. I'll bet your parents loved having you there. We can't wait to see you and Abram at Christmas!! Love ya!
