Thanksgiving part 3

 All who could be there were. Rebecca, Mary, Peter, Matt, Jimmy, Luke & Sam. We had a wonderful time talking and playing! Heath spent most of the time laying on the couch or sleeping on my lap. (That's when you know he really doesn't feel well) Bertie sat with him for a good while. It was really sweet of her.

 Grandpa did some black Friday shopping and got a bunch of awesome Grandpa toys! The kiddo's were in heaven! Mary's boys especially were just SO happy!

 Sambo and Bertie

 Jimmy Morgan & Tahnee

 Grandma's I Patches were a favorite as usual.

and the FOOD! It was SO GOOD!

 We made an attempt at taking a picture of all the grandkids there.  The first few are missing Lily, who was playing so quietly upstairs we didn't notice for a while.  Then the last few Hank and Wyatt  kept escaping.     At Christmas time we'll be better equipped with lots of bribery candy.

 Heath finally felt well enough to eat that evening! He had some of Grandma's tasty homemade applesauce. Heath continued to run a fever through the night, but it broke sometime between 4-7am. He was feeling much better the next day for the ride home.

 We couldn't think of any better way to end the festivities than a nice scoop of Braum's Eggnog Ice Cream! mmmm...

 And all too soon it was time to leave.  : (  

We took Sammy with us, to drop him off at Rebecca's house. Heath fell asleep before we got there, and woke up several hours later very disappointed that Sammy wasn't with us any longer.

Houston serenaded us all the way home.

 We then took off to my family's place.

We shot arrows.

 Sang songs.

 Did some hot tubing

 And ate lots and lots of Yummy Food!

 This was like drugs to Houston. He was crazy about it and when it was all gone he turned the box upside down and tried to suck any last drop through the hole.

 I got my face laser-ed (ill post more about that at a later time, when my house isn't being destroyed by two little men) and it couldn't be exposed outside, so we made a little mask for me to wear. Heath thought it was super cool and wanted to be super too so this was his mask to match mine.

 Grandma found this awesome basketball hoop. Heath really surprised me with his mad skills. He made almost every shot he took.

 We went with Grandpa Sterling and Dallin to check out bass pro's black friday sales (on thursday)

 Heath was pretty scared of the wolf.

 They had a bunch of free stuff for kiddo's to do. I had no idea they offered that. It was so much fun.

 As we were leaving Heath wanted Daddy to drive by the deer statue out front so he could go hunting for some deers. He said he got it!

 Friday morning Heath woke up with a fever. He was 102 and just seemed miserable. We were supposed to leave to go to Matt's family dinner that morning, and took a long time to decide what to do.

 Houston just looks so big on Grandma's lap.

 Grandma found these costumes super cheap after halloween for the boys. Isn't it SO CUTE!

Even though Heath felt yucky he wanted to wear his too. It was pretty cute too.   We decided after talking with the other mommies that would be at the dinner to go ahead and go, so we packed up again and took off.
