We came home on friday night and the girls wanted to get the Christmas decorations down as soon as we got home. We got it all down but since it was getting late we only unpacked the village houses. On saturday Jamie put lights on our house and the girls and I decorated the tree and set up our Christmas village. The village is the girls favorite. Every year we buy a new house. I let them play with the little people and most of them have been glued back together but Cassie has a great time. They can't wait for Christmas. I can't believe it is already Christmas time again. Tonight for a bedtime story we read the "Christmas Orange." I love Christmas stories. They really help you realize how truly blessed we are.

A few of us are playing a card game called Golf. My brother, wearing the white shirt won. He always wins. :-) It was fun. I was last most of the game but the last three rounds I was lucky and actually came in third. The rest of the family was watching a movie downstairs or football upstairs.

We went tomy mom's house in Kanab for Thanksgiving. It was cold and rainy all day. I ended up running in the rain but I came prepared so it wasn't to bad. My three brothers, sister and their families came. It was a lot of fun. The girls had a great time playing with their cousins. There was a ton of food! We set up a table in the garage for the kids (15 & younger) so they could mess around and be loud.

Cassie was having a great time to.

Jadzia was even to tired to smile.

Saturday night after the play all the cast went to Denny's. Jadzia really wanted to go so even though it was already 11:00 p.m. we went to Denny's. Jadzia had a great time. Ahhh, this almost makes me wish I was young again. We were very tired when we got home at 12:30 a.m.

Saturday afternoon was great! My friend Liz Benson and I went to lunch then to the theatre to see the movie "Twilight" I love the books and was a little disappointed in the movie. I thought they didn't spend enough time on certain important aspects of the book . I still liked the movie though . I can't wait for the second movie.
