Thanksgiving Fun!

I know, I know, Thanksgiving is past and gone, but well, I haven't had the time to do my posting about it. So here goes.

Devin, Julie and Anna came up from Orem, and Spencer came down from Rexburg to stay with us this year, so we had a full house. It was so much fun! This first night everyone was there we all played a little miniature golf in the house (very inexpensive and tons of fun)!

Little Anna is growing up so fast! She is so curious and full of energy... I wish I had some of that still. She is walking everywhere and learning so much. We had so much fun with her. She found out how to work our "SINGING KISS" and loved to dance to the songs it plays, or rather tap her foot... SO CUTE! It was so fun to watch...

The Baldwin Thanksgiving Feast was amazing! I married the perfect man, Briant like the white meat, which means... more dark meat for me! Mom always makes great Turkey and stuffing, Cindy and Mahon made some great potatoes and Banana cream pie, Julie and Devin made awesome Pumpkin Cheesecake, and Chantelle (and Chris?) made wonderful rolls! I made a salad, which I thought turned out really good!
I loved that we sat down as a family and said what we were all thankful for, it really brought the Spirit into our day. Thank you to everyone for the happiness you bring into our lives!

After we stuff ourselves and our bellies are bulging, we like to go out and get some exercise to work off some of the meal. The greenbelt was the place to go this year...
As you can see, there is Chris, Chantelle and Esau in the back, Devin Julie and Anna in the middle and Briant, Spencer and me in the front.
Briant and I have a good time goofing off as always...After that we of coarse go and search through the Black Friday ads that we have already looked at to figure out what to do the next morning. We found out this year that you can get the same deals online that you get at 3 am. That makes things much easier! It is kinda fun to go early... except the part where you have to get up, then stand in line for HOURS! Some of it can be worth it, but not always...

Beside, I did have that day off from work originally, but a girl that I work with was very ill, so I worked at 6am for her. I didn't really want to get up even earlier if I couldn't come home after and kick it. Oh well, there wasn't really anything we needed or wanted, so no harm done. I did miss going out and having a little quality time with Julie though.

After I got off work, we went to see the New Moon movie! I have mixed feelings, since I read the books, but over all it was pretty good, and much better than the first.

After a little Christmas shopping at the mall, we head up to Heise to soak it up. AWWW, it felt so good to just relax. The only thing I don't like about the hot springs up there is the smell of sulfur... it make me think I'm going to get skin poisoning or something.

The weekend really did go too fast! Devin and Julie left on Saturday to go spend some time up in
Ashton with Kyle, Kat and the girls. It is always hard to say goodbye, but Anna does it so cute...

She blows you kisses!
