Much to be Thankful For

We hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving this year! I thought we would tell you all about are exciting weekend. Well, I guess it wasn't all exciting. Let's say eventful.

Turkey day started off really good. We spent a little time at Grandma and Grandpa Peterson's early in the day and then went to my parents house for our turkey feast. My Mom has only been cooking Thanksgiving dinner for the last 3 or 4 years and I have to say she has it down to perfection! Who wants turkey when you can have homemade stuffing, yams, and rolls!! That's all my plate consists of.

All was well until Nate had eaten to much so he wanted to go home and take a nap. I didn't want to go home it was Thanksgiving and it was only 5:00. So he decided to go home without us, Thank Goodness!!! A few minutes after he left, my Mom got a phone call, from Nate! He had been in an accident. A women decided to run a red light. Nate hit them head on with our truck and smashed up the front end so much that it was not drivable. The two women were in a dodge neon and their car was pretty much wrecked, at least the passenger side was. The good news is that everyone was fine. The bad news is the women didn't have insurance. What jerks!!! It just ticks me off. We were given her personal information and our insurance tried calling them and now their phone has been disconnected. I feel like driving over to their house that is if it really is their house. So that was our eventful turkey day!

Black Friday- One of my favorite days of the year!! This year it was just me, my mom, and SIL Jenna. We left home at about 4:00 am to start our shopping day off. I took my camera to take pics of the craziness out there but I couldn't miss out on the great deals long enough to get it out!

Saturday- We put up our Christmas tree and the little decor outside. I must say we don't have alot to decorate with and what we do have is sort of sad looking! I need to get to Tai Pan and quick!! Oh well, it's all for Hayden and he doesn't much care. He had a blast helping us get it all out.

Later that evening the Dimick Family headed downtown on trax to see the lights. We first went to Gateway and had dinner at CPK. MMM I love the Thai Crunch Salad. It's mine and my Moms favorite! Then we went to Temple square just in time for the countdown for the lights to be turned on. What a beautiful place it is this time of year! After seeing the lights we had a bowling tournament to get to. A Wii bowling tournament. We are addicted to this thing. Aunt Debbie and Uncle Curtis had us over to play the Wii. Hayden plays too. He bowls about an 89. Not bad for an almost 3 year old. We had good times and laughs too! We hope Santa brings us a Wii for Christmas! What do you think, have we been good enough this year?!

Sunday was a day of relaxation after the busy long weekend. We did bake some cookies and of course did a little bit more shopping but nothing major! And now we are back to work =(

I can't believe there is only weeks until Christmas. My first Christmas party is Dec. 3rd for work. It's coming fast!!! YIPPEEEEE!!

Hey cute girl! I've been waiting for an update from you! Great post! Sorry about your husband getting in an accident. That really sucks! Hopefully karma will get those idiots without insurance!

I love the lights at temple square they are amazing. We haven't been yet this year, but wouldn't miss it for the world! We also love going to Winder Dairy for scones and hot chocolate. Soooo fun!
