Thanksgiving 2008

For those of you who don't know, I have been taking a LOT of tests in the last couple of weeks. In fact, that is basically all I have been doing is studying....and testing.

But, the good news to this story is I took my LAST test (except for one BIG BIG one that comes later)on Wednesday night in Pocatello and.......

I PASSED!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!!

So I am sure you can imagine how ready I was for Thanksgiving yesterday to finally relax and spend some time with family. We had a GREAT time. We spent this Thanksgiving with Troy's family at his Dad and Helen's house here in Twin. Of course Steve and Helen were there, Grandpa and Grandma Jensen came from Idaho Falls, Troy's Uncle Stan and Aunt Charlotte and their family came, Steve and Terra and their three kids, Wende and Boyfriend Josh and her two kids and his two kids, Thayne and his daughter Katelynn, and our family were all there.

We showed up late morning to so we had plenty of time to enjoy everyone from out of town. Grandpa Steve promised the boys he would wait to put the flag up until they got there so they could help. They put in a really cool flag pole in the front of their new house that shrinks all the way down inside itself when not being used and the boys were dying to give it a try.

Then we all hung out for a bit while the food was finishing cooking. We watched football, visited, and looked at some scrapbooks that Great Grandma brought with her.

The food was absolutely AMAZING! Helen made all the food and requested that each of us kids just bring a pie. There is nothing like Thanksgiving dinner.......YUM-O!! And all the pies were pretty darn good too!






Then after dinner it was more visiting, football, naps, kids playing outside, dvd games, and bonding.





Then Ori asked Grandpa for a ride on the Harley. Grandpa of course said yes and that started a whole line of people waiting to ride. Grandpa was a good sport and continued giving rides until everyone who wanted one had a turn.
