NaBloPoMo & Our Thanksgiving

Well, NaBloPoMo was a bust for me.  It was just too hard with traveling for Thanksgiving.  My writing before I gave up was awful.  I apologize. All my readers are probably glad that I will be going back to a couple posts per week. ;)

We were so glad to head to Utah for Thanksgiving.  We were able to take a full week so we were able to see a lot of people, but it is impossible to see everyone.  I wish that there was more time to see friends and extended family more. The funny thing is though, that I feel like I am home in Oregon now. I used to think Utah would always feel like home.

We were insanely busy.  Here is a list of what we did:

• Tennis, electric scooters, skate park, football, frisbee and walks, playing in leaves { no snow this trip :( }
• Video games, movies, swimming
• Eating, eating and staying up too late
• Black Friday shopping {my sister and I got some good bargains!}
• Lunch with some blogging buddies (thanks, ladies!)
• Dinner with some old friends
• Games with friends from our old church
• Card games, dominoes and board games
• Playing in the leaves, Nephi City's Light's On ceremony & Electric Parade (very cool!)
• Seagull Book {there was so much that I wanted to buy! But I did good and didn't over-spend}

Now that we are home, I am ready to get the house ready for Christmas, and finish up the shopping. The next few weeks will be really busy too.  Seems like there is a lot of stuff to do.  But, who isn't busy this time of year?

Some photos from the trip:
