Thanksgiving 2024
Dave dropped Braxton off around 1:00 p.m on Wednesday. It was great to see him. The handyman we hired was working on the cabinet pulls, and I was trying to clean up sawdust messes, so it was a little chaotic!
Jamie and the girls arrived around 4:30 p.m. I started making dinner. Keith took Braxton to get a haircut and then came home. Dusty and the boys went to the Jazz game with Amber and her son. They arrived around 10:30 p.m. Lexi and Kamryn were so happy to be united again. They have really missed each other since they have been at college.
We ate spaghetti and garlic bread for dinner. I quickly cleaned up and made cranberry salad, and green bean casserole for 30, and picked up rolls at Lee's.
We hung out and then went to bed.
On Thursday (Thanksgiving), Dusty and the boys (minus Dax) went to play pickleball at the church. LaRee had reserved the church for the morning. Then around 11:30 a.m., Dax, Jamie and the girls went to the church so that Skyler could do her dance on the stage at the church.
Keith, Braxton and I drove to the Olson's a little later.
All of us except Dusty and Skyler...
All of us just missing Dusty and Skyler
After dinner, we halted clean up the kitchen and then went to the Olson's so that the boys could get their haircut and I could have Amber cut my bangs. Keith and I dropped a plate of food and pie off to Keith's mom at the Care Center. She wasn't feeling well, so we didn't stay and visit. We came home and I cleaned up the dishes.
Everyone else showed up about an hour later. We reheated food, and ate. We then opened up our Christmas ornaments.
Jamie and Dusty gave me a little German house that they got in Germany. I loved it! They gave Keith a package of hot sauces - he loved them.
The boys thought that they could eat the hottest without any issues. WRONG!!!
Friday we got up and had a little breakfast. Everyone got ready for the day. Keith, Dusty, the 4 boys and the girls went to see the new Gladiator Movie. Jamie, Skyler, and I went to see Moana. We got home and fixed dinner. Jamie and Dusty went to visit friends. We all entertained Skyler, and then I put her down to sleep.
When Jamie and Dusty got home, everyone fixed food and snacks and watched a movie. The girls did their own thing and I went to bed, or at least tried to get some sleep.
Saturday morning, Jamie and the girls took off without Kamryn...sad. Then Dusty and the boys took off. Kamryn stuck around until 11:00, and then headed back to St. George. She had an essay she needed to finish. I loaded her up with some groceries and off she went.
Keith went back to bed. Rebel joined him. I gathered up towels, blankets, bedding, emptied garbage and tried to pick up a few things. I started the laundry and tried to get things back together again.
