We tried to keep our Thanksgiving plans simple this year. Heck we are trying to keep most of our holiday plans simple. Its a good rule to practice adopting. My goal is to be less busy so I can focus on the little important things. It has been tough but it is so worth it and I love the way I feel about this change. Anyway. Thanksgiving was wonderful, simple and amazingly wonderful.
Lars went pheasant hunting with two of his brothers.
The kids and I got ready for winter. LOL
Lars and his brothers went to the annual Turkey Shoot
We had a preThanksgiving Dinner with The Madsen side of the family.
We played a turkey shoot game and spoons. Lars won one round, Bonnie won the next. LOL
On Thanksgiving went to the movies and had gourmet sandwiches. We went and saw, The Man Who Invented Christmas, about how Charles Dickens was inspired to write The Christmas Story. It was such a wonderful movie that was very moving. I will never take Christmas for granted.
Then we just hung out as a small family.
Lars made homemade pumpkin pie from scratch.
Oh this was Liv's first movie in the theatre. She did okay. We purposely went during her nap time but she didn't fall asleep until the last 10 minutes of the movie.
In an effort to keep life simple we didn't go anywhere on Black Friday. We stayed home and just chilled around the house and played a lot outside since it was the warmest Thanksgiving in Utah since 1910. True story we broke records. Saturday we went to visit my parents and Lars Mom and do a little Christmas shopping.
Seriously one of the best weekends ever. I didn't want it to end. It was just so nice to chill and have no where specific to be. The days were long but in a good way long. We had fun and just relaxed and enjoyed and were.
