Thanksgiving Break

We had a great break...started off with BLIZZARD 2010 (say that in a really dramatic voice and you get the idea)....which turned out to be a storm, but with extra wind. But...it did get us a half day..yay!

We were lazy, lazy, lazy! And we loved, loved, loved it.

Thursday we headed to dinner at my aunt's house in Sandy. It was wonderful to see everyone and eat delicious food. Will got to play with phones, take flying lessons, and practice playing with his cousin Oliver.

We stayed at our friend Leila and Landon's house. They were wonderful hosts and kept the candy and games coming! We, unfortunately, kept the squealing toddler coming early in the A.M. Leila said it was "so fun" to wake up to the sounds of a baby in their home. HA!

We had an awesome breakfast at The Original Pancake House....if you haven't been...GO! Delicious pumpkin pancakes. Will spent the day with Grandma and Grandpa Steuri while we shopped, saw a movie, ate, and....went to the JAZZ GAME! So fun. They were down by 19 in the first quarter to the Lakers, so we were a tad worried for RJ's mood on the drive home. Could be a l-o-n-g drive! But, we came ahead and won and it was awesome to see those obnoxious bandwagon Laker fans head on out real quick!

It was a great break....now a few weeks of Christmas crafts, caroling, Santa wish lists, squirmy third graders (and their teacher too), lots of Diet Coke....and it will be Christmas! Yikes!

    So glad you had a fun break! Always envious of you teachers when I'm at work on Friday after Thanksgiving

  2. I live very close to the Original Pancake House and still haven't been. I must put it on the list. Loved the picture of your cute family. I still remember from our college days how loving your family was. You're a lucky girl.
