Thanksgiving '07

I only have a couple of pictures taken from our Thanksgiving festivities, and of course one is of the dogs. (Don't worry, I'm sure once the end of May comes, they will all turn to pictures of the baby!) :)

Grant and I spent Thanksgiving with both of our families this year. My dad's entire side of the family made it to American Fork for Thanksgiving dinner at Dave and Nancy's house. We had a great time seeing cousins, aunts and uncles, and Grandpa and Grandma. It was fun chaos!! Once we visited and ate there, we ventured to the Goodson's Thanksgiving feast. It was like a Martha Stewart Thanksgiving at their place... very good food!! We were stuffed by the end of the night.

Sheree and I hit the malls for black Friday, and I stumbled accross these hiteous doggy Christmas sweaters from Old Navy. I couldn't resist, and had to get the dogs and early Christmas present. Grace is quite the big girl though, so hers is not very flattering on her. Anyway, I just thought they were pretty hilarious and pathetic at the same time!

We hope everyone else had a fabulous Thanksgiving!

I had my 14 week checkup yesterday and the doc did a quick ultrasound to see if he could tell the baby's gender..... the darn baby had its ankles crossed, so he couldn't see a thing! I guess I'll wait a couple more weeks...... Until then, happy holidays! :)

Tag - I'm It

I was tagged by Brooke, so here goes.....
7 random facts about me:

1. I absolutely love shopping, and I love visiting LA and New York to find fun purses, etc. I don't think there's a weekend that goes by without Grant and I stopping by Nordstrom, for either a peek at what's new, or just to get a chai.... which is my next fact.

2. I am obsessed with iced vanilla chai's from Nordstrom's espresso bar. The bad habit goes back to when I used to work there. I will go all the way to Nordstrom on my lunch break, just to get a chai. It's embarassing, but the baristas all know my order there.

3. I love the holiday season, and have already started listening to Christmas music! I know... ridiculous. I love how the holidays brings out kindness and generosity in people. I love getting together with family and friends and celebrating old traditions.

4. If I could, I would wear flip flops every day. I hate cold weather, especially the snow (okay, except on Christmas). I hate sweaters, long sleeve shirts, pants, etc... I love flip flops and summer clothes.

5. If for some reason I have to miss my workout, I tend to be in a grumpy mood. I feel much better after I've had some "me" time at the gym. I absolutely love kickboxing, running, and yoga. I could also live in my gym clothes all day... they are just so comfortable.

6. Most people know this already, but I love Justin Timberlake. This goes way back to his *N Sync days. I love the dancing, the music... everything. I guess some things you just don't grow out of..... :)

7. I love spending time with my hubby. You'd think since we work together, we'd be sick of each other by the time we get home, but I love hanging out with him. Even if I'm just running errands, I always want him to come with me. I love his sense of humor and how kind and generous he is. I always love his company.

Some things I am thankful for...

I am thankful for the gospel in my life and for a living prophet who guides and directs our church.I am thankful for a loving, kind, funny, and patient husband who always brightens my day.
I am thankful for our families and for their constant love, support, kindness, and friendships.
I am thankful for wonderful friends who always keep me laughing.
I am thankful for our doggies and for always putting a smile on our faces.
I am thankful for vanilla chai's....they also put a smile on my face. :)
I am thankful for good health.

There are so many more things that I am thanful for... I could go on and on. As I look back at the year, right now I am especially grateful for good doctors, our family's support, and for the power of prayer. I am so thankful for the holiday season and for the chance we get to reflect on the year and remember what is truly most important. Grant and I are looking forward to spending Thanksgiving next week (!) with both of our families and lots of yummy food. We hope that you all have a fabulous holiday season with many fun memories to come!
