Thanksgiving 2010

Dan also had off the whole week from school! He got all of his assignments done for Monday and they canceled classes on Tuesday ( he already had the homework done for that and had already turned it in) because of the big snow storm that was suppose to come. This storm was suppose to be one of the worst storms Utah county had seen in years. Those who live here know that did not happen, not even close. It was really nice having him here we spent the week getting ready for our big move to North Carolina in April. We went through some old boxes, did some research and have already started downsizing. So if there's anything anyone might need let us know......we might just be getting rid of that very same item :) I know the move isn't for another 5 months but we still have a lot of things that we need to downsize and it's never too early to start packing, right?

The plan this year had been for Dan to work a double of Thanksgiving day. And have our Thanksgiving dinner on Wednesday. So I started buying things the week before and then about a week before Thanksgiving we got a call from Dan's aunt, Connie. She invited us to have Thanksgiving with their family ( all Dan's cousins and their kids, it's a pretty big group!) and we were very happy to spend time with them. We always have such a wonderful time whenever we spend time with them. We still did our little family Thanksgiving dinner on Wednesday evening. And Thursday afternoon we went out to his aunt and uncles cabin. We enjoy both very much. Dan did work of Thursday but it ended up just being in the evening.

Here are a few pictures of our small family dinner on Wednesday night. We forgot to bring to camera on Thursday so we only have Wednesday night pics.


My china (which I had at the time we got married)and the silver plated flatware that Dan got me for our anniversary this year! I am so lucky to have a husband who knows what I like. He even spent time polishing it with me and washed all the china and flatware after dinner for me(it's nice to know he values these beautiful things as much as I do)! It is so much fun to have both. It will be nice to some day own real silver flatware!!! Someday!
The feast.


Our seven layer jello. Dan requested I put this up, he really enjoyed the process of making it and it did look pretty cool in the end. Now if only the jello hadn't been so grainy from being ruined by humidity in our last apartment......... It was good to use up the last of our jello. We have a lot of downsizing to do before April!
