Thanksgiving Brunch

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope everyone had an enjoyable day full of good food.

Here are a couple of pictures from EskDale, the Thanksgiving brunch and some set up for the main dinner.

We had over 90 people for both the brunch and the dinner.

More photos to follow. ☺

Oh, the weather outside is frightful...

Actually, the weather is supposed to be worse in a couple of hours, I hear.

It was cold enough this morning that the kids just snuggled in blankets and watched TV for a bit.

They seem to be feeling much better today.

Yesterday was still very trying on my nerves and patience. ☺

I'm 26 weeks this week, next week I'll be in the 3rd trimester already.

Ay yi yi yi!

Red Sky at Night

This is what it looked like driving into Snake Valley on Friday night.

We didn't get any work done on the house this weekend.

The House of Aaron was hosting the "Garden of Peace" mens retreat this weekend.

That kept us busy the entire weekend. (I helped with meals) 

My kids started getting sick on Thursday, and Thursday night was a disaster with Aidan coughing so bad that he couldn't get more than 45 minutes of sleep at a time.

So none of us got any sleep that night.

Cary ran him to the walk-in clinic early Friday morning and they put him on albuterol (a breathing treatment) and a steroid. The medicine has been helping, but then Aidan came down with a fever on Saturday and Ella had a fever yesterday.

Fun times, fun times.

I'm excited about Thanksgiving though!

It's taken a little longer this year to get into what our decorating theme was going to be for Thanksgiving dinner, but we came up with something, it will be fun and I'm looking forward to it. ☺

Visitors

A few days ago, Sharon, Kenneth, Janille, and Tom came in to SLC for a Brandon Flowers concert.

Megan came in too, but she got to hang out with us and since it was her birthday we celebrated with a crockpot cake and ice cream.

My kids like having visitors.

Fiddly Dee

There isn't much in the way of the house to take pictures of right now.

Other than Ryan got our porch removed and Cary hauled it away.

Most of the work being done the past couple of weeks is all happening under the house.

Cary and Alex have been getting all the plumbing and pex (water pipes) in, and building a pad for the furnace to sit on.

(All the old plumbing and electrical was pulled out of the house)

We REALLY need to get started on our back entry area, a project that Cary would like to scratch, but I don't want to! ☺

Early Thanksgiving Dinner

The Faber family got together last weekend for an early family dinner since Abby and Kiera will be working on Thanksgiving.

Shawn just got back from Iraqistan the previous week so he was even able to make it up so we celebrated his birthday and Jordy's.

Cameron and Jordy frosted the cupcakes

Cary and Shawn "entertained" us with their music. ☺

Instead of turkey, we had a corned beef dinner. So good!

We sang "Happy Birthday" to Shawn and Jordynne

and then they blew out their candles.

Aidan had an honorary candle in his cupcake and was devasted when someone blew his out.

One of those weeks...

where everyday you shake your head and go "Man, it's been one of those days."

Aidan looking nice and comfy in our bed after keeping us awake all night.

He was pretty perturbed that Ella was being so loud.

Ella likes banana muffins...errr, chocolate.

***WHALE ALERT***

Trying to get some pictures of the little devils, I mean, kids.
