Thanksgiving

I know this is way overdue, but I decided I had better get something written about Thanksgiving.

Our Thanksgiving weekend actually started on Tuesday. At work, I do a lot things with the Holiday Inn at Pocatello. Each year, Holiday Inn hosts ISU employees for a meal and then provide us with a certificate for a free night's stay at the Holiday Inn. We took advantage of that on Tuesday. Angie loves the Holiday Inn since she can go swimming in the Holidome. So, Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning was spent swimming.

After we checked out of the hotel, we then went to the movie Bolt. This was a very cute movie. Lilli watched half of it before falling asleep while Angie watched the whole thing. The movie was presented in 3D, but we could not get Angie to keep her glasses on. That seemed wierd since without the glasses, it was blurry. In short, the movie is about a dog who is in a TV show where he has super powers. The producers do not let the dog know that he really does not have super powers so his reactions are genuine. The dog gets out of his trailer and falls into a box that is shipped to New York. Once in New York, he thinks he can use his super powers to get back to his owner. With the help of a cat and a hamster, he goes cross country to find out what is real.

On Thursday, we spent Thanksgiving with the Gambles. It was a very delicious dinner, and being able to lounge around and visit made it a great day.

On Friday, Deb and I braved the early morning shoppers in Pocatello. NewsChannel 6 in Pocatello did a news story about Black Friday. Even though we are not in the video, we were in the crowd that was rushing into Shopko. I knew I had to run or be trampled!

We went to Preston's Festival of Lights and then the Bar J Wranglers on Saturday. Chelsea posted pictures on her blog.

Sunday, Angie gave her third talk in Primary. She did a great job. Dad was incredibly proud and Mom was beaming from ear to ear as she did her talk. After church, we had dinner at Mom's and said good-bye to everyone.
