Thanksgiving Break!!

I had one of the best Thanksgiving breaks ever. I had almost a whole week off and it was very much needed. Thursday started off with the annual Welling Family basketball game. It was really fun even though I got a few bumps and bruises. Then we had our big feast at Grandma and Grandpa Welling's! It was amazing as usual. If I counted right we had about 63 people there inside their house. It was a bit crowded but I haven't known a Holiday gathering with my family that wasn't crowded. Then came Friday... The big shopping day! I didnt have to work so I woke up with the rest of the family and went to Wal mart just after 4AM to stand in line. Julie was the best because she had everything organized on who was getting what. I was in charge of the Kitchen aids and I had to pick up 4 of them... and yes I was successful after knocking over aqnyone in front of me and stealing one out of someones cart... no not really that didn't happen but it was fun to run for them anyways.This is me and Julies waiting in the freezing cold weather for the doors to open. It was almost as intense as my high school basketball games:) hhahaa ok not really but close

Me julie and brittany still freezing. And yes that is my middle school track sweater. I wore it so everyone knew i was fast so they wouldn't get in my way!! haha but yes it still fits amazingly.

Yes these guys drove all the way from Laramie for this day!! haha who wouldn't right? But this was the rest of our crew... We really enjoyed ourselves waiting in line

Notice the snow on Collette's coat... It was coming down pretty good!

I dont know if you can see it very well but this was the line on the otehr side... people were lined clear back past the handicap parking... little did they know all the good stuff was on our side hahah losers!! jk

Well the rest of my day was spent sleeping and playing more basketball. We got some of us old girls that have already graduated high school and we went and scrimmage the girls that are still playing. Yes we did kick some butt and I was very impressed with our performance. We haven't done much running or basketball playing in awhile so it was quite impressive. It was fun to get together and play like old times.

Then on Saturday I spent most of my day slaving away for my father. I cleaned the chimney, cleaned out the fireplace, put up christmas light all over the yard and on the roof!! Yes Clark Griswold is quite the slave driver, but at least our house is pretty good looking.

Sunday my family went to Wellsville UT to Heather and Bart's baby blessing. They blessed Aspen down there and it was really fun. Aspen is so beautiful and I was glad that we went down to it. They have a very beautiful house as well and we were thankful to be able to come down and visit them!

Monday I hung up some more lights and we went to the forgotten carols that night. It is such an amazing play and has such a neat message. The songs in it are awesome and I think its something that everyone needs to see. I love the message that it portrays. We also went to dinner at a place where we sat in covered wagons for dinner. It was kinda fun. This is us at dinner in case you couldn't tell by the food in Brittanys mouth!! Thanks britt! And now i'm back in Rock Bottom where it feels like a hurricane minus the moisture part!! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!
