Here is a fast recap of our last 10 days. We went to the largest Gold Mine in the United States. We saw Grandpa's new Cabellas. We spent an afternoon at the park followed by a hike that ended at Dairy Queen (my kind of hike). We played Wii all week. We saw Reindeer at a local Reindeer Ranch, and a ton of wild turkeys in the city park the day before Thanksgiving (ironic). We had Thanksgiving Dinner at Kevin's Grandma's Ranch for the first time since we have been married. There was just a few of us (43!!!) My kids absolutely loved having so many cousins so close to there own ages. I of course went shopping at 4:00 am the next day, and was so successful. So successful in fact that I had to vaccuum seal all our clothes so that I could put gifts in the suitcases to bring home I wish I had taken a picture of our little car so full. I still had to ship a box. We decorated Grandma and Grandpa's house for Christmas including all the yard decorations. We went to our first Hockey Game and loved it. We went to church twice with Grandma and Grandpa and including us there were 53 people all together counting all children.

Now after all that I still consider the past 10 days a break. No cell phones, no church callings, no blogging, etc... just spending time with family and enjoying each other and new adventures.
Now I am back at it laundry, crazy insane schedule, decorating for Christmas, grocery shopping, although thanks to Holly A. there will not be a repeat milk episode she so kindly brought us a gallon of milk and cinnamon rolls shortly after we got home last night. Thanks Holly!
