Thanksgiving 2008!

Okay so I don't have many pics of Thanksgiving, I know lazy me, but for a little small excuse I was sick most of the weekend, and another little excuse is that the Ross' are actually really hard to take pictures of. I am crazy and like to make faces or smile when the camera is pointing at me and I guess I am like that because I want my kids to be like that. I want them to remember me and have pics to look at my face, not the back of my head. Also for some reason it is just hard to get my camera out. Sorry Ross' I will try harder to take better and more pics at our events, so be prepared and be happy about it! Hee Hee, that is all meant in the nicest way! Thanks Cheri for sending some other pics.
So on to the weekend. It was full of food, shopping, movies and games. The biggest down side is that we didn't actually spend a lot of time all together as a family. Cheri and Brett had Thanksgiving dinner at their home, thanks guys, and it was wonderful. We ate, talked and let the kids run around after Brooks (brad and Jen's dog) they had a blast. On Friday, Audrey, Cori and I did some early shopping. Audrey and Cori were newbies to black friday, but they did very well, but I don't think they will ever go again. I wasn't going for big ticket items, but got some good deals on movies. I went to Joann's twice without success, the lines were just too long. After a big morning of shopping and a little nap, Audrey, Jen, Cheri and I went to see Twilight. I have read the books once and if I ever have time will probly read them again. I thought the movie was good, not great, but okay. Saturday we looked at houses that Dave and Audrey are interested in, we will not go further into that except they didn't get the one they wanted. We are all so bummed and will remember them in our prayers. Then that night Jason,Cori, Dave, Audrey, josh and I played "80's Trivial Pursuit"! I WON, now I have to give some credit to my partner, Dave, but I say "I" because he ditched me and went to bed. So I think it is very funny that I being born in the 80's won against others who are well, umm, OLDER!! Ha Ha! Sunday we packed up and went home!

Okay well that was long and probably really boring for anyone who is not me animating my sentences with correct grammar in my head, sorry!

Here is an I'm Thankful for list:
My family, the opportunity that I have to be a mom and to have 3 wonderful healthy kids. For Josh and his hard work to support our family. His humor, unless it is directed at me! I am thankful for a beautiful home and a good start on my food storage. I am grateful for forever friends and the experiences I have had in my life being away from home and needing to find great friends. I am thankful for food to eat and warm blankets to cover me and my children at night. I am grateful for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I would not have any direction or meaning to my life without the gospel and the knowledge of my Savior Jesus Christ. I am grateful for a Prophet who lives today and the rest of the 12 Apostles. I am thankful to be a daughter and a sister. I love my family with all my heart and am so grateful for their examples. I am grateful that prayers are answered and that we live in the United States of America and for all the freedoms we enjoy and take for granted everyday.
Okay a little less serious list:
I am grateful for bathtubs, peace and quiet, children's naptimes, books, make-up, ugg boots (sp?), my scentsy candle that burns "Grove and Clove", the falling gas prices, cute jeans, cute haircuts, cell phones, the chance to laugh, Disney DVD's, Christmas AND tampons. What would we ever do without them. Sorry I thought that was funny!! OH I feel like this post is out of control because I am trying so hard to get it done in a hurry, man I need to use spell check oops out of time. I'm out!
