HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

So here is my Thanksgiving post. We had a blast this year, except that we missed Shel and Micheal and their kids so much...they will be here soon though, so YIPPEE!! We had a TON of people at my parents house this year. Brian's sis Tammy and her family were there, Joe and Lara invited a couple from their ward, plus our family. So I think all in all there were 35 people there! PHEW! Thanks to Lara and her rad camera we got a ton of family pics that turned out pretty cute! I love this time of year. I love to spend time with my family. I've always had the best time with them. Maybe our family is oddly close? I love it though!

My sweet Emma

Here's me pretending like I'm contributing to the basketball game...my lungs were actually burning.

Um...I was pretending to be a model???

I made a rad 7 layer jello, and my sis Allyssa took this pic, which we thought was pretty funny. I think it was the best jello there...but then again, I made it...and it was the first one gone, so you decide.

Cute Emma

I worry about senior pics in a few years. She's just so dang cute!

Finally...another post!

OK...OK! I'll post again! Some of my friends that I don't see often, or even the one's I do say this is how they know what the heck I'm up to so...Sorry I've been totally slacking, but I started my new job as a real live nurse! It's taken up much of my time for sure. I'm starting to appreciate my days off much, much more. So anyway, the most exciting thing that has happened was WICKED!!! I took Emma to see this fabulous broadway show a few weeks ago. I would post pics of that, but of course I deleted them from my camera before I made sure I copied them to my pictures. Whatever...my brain isn't functioning well really. So then we move on to Halloween, which was totally fun. Emma was Elphaba from Wicked and her friend Katie was Glinda, also from Wicked. They have had this planned for a year or so. They looked great! Oh...and I turned 33 this week...Yipee!!! I don't want to grow up yet, so I'm going to pretend like I'm 25 or so. No one guesses that I'm older than that anyway. So here are some pics from Halloween...don't be scared!!!

This is Katie's hair pre-Glinda. This is how we got it to be curly! She even slept on it...what a trooper. I did my hair like this for halloween night, and my head was so very sore!

At trunk-or-treat

Emma looks sooo scary!

This is pre costumes. We started preparing at like 11am for the night. We had a blast.

Oh gosh...make up is coming off...

In the midst of collecting a TON of candy. So much for losing weight this month...CRAP!

I'll get you my pretty...and your little dog too! I LOVE this pic!

By the way...I'm not a huge TV person, but one show I LOVE is GLEE. For those of you who are Glee virgins...oh man...watch it!!! It will make you smile...ALOT! There is also a soundtrack of all the Glee-ers singing all the songs from the show. It's FABULOUS!
