The day after Thanksgiving, Jon's parents were kind enough to get all of us hotel rooms in downtown Salt Lake City. Everyone met up for dinner at the Rio Grande Cafe at the old Rio Grande train station. Eat ate some pretty yummy mexican food.

Jon and I and Danieler and her kids had rooms at the Gallivan Center Marriott and our rooms overlooked the ice skating rink. So we all bundled up and went out outside to watch the ice skaters. George, Britney, Braden, and Missy were brave enough to do some ice skating. They looked like they were having a really good time. The rest of us sat around and talked and took some pictures. But it was sure cold and we were all too happy to get back inside where it was warm.

For some reason the red eye on camera wasn't set so everyone looks like vampire's. Oh, well. It was still fun.

On Thanksgiving Thursday, we went to Jon's parents house fr dinner. We had so much yummy food to eat. Turkey, Cranberry Salad, Sweet Potato Casserole, rolls, stuffing. And for dessert....lots and lots of pies. I even made a Pumpkin Chiffon Pie that was really yummy. It was a big hit.

Afterwards, everyone just kind of relaxed and visited. It was was a really good day.

New Moon Weekend

So....on November 20th was when New Moon was released. For those of you who know me well, I am obsessed with Twilight and have been anticipating this movie release for quite some time. Even though this wasn't my favorite book out of the series, it was a much better movie then the first time.

I has 48 hours full of New Moon. Like I said......OBSESSED. On Thursday, the 19th, I was lucky enough to get tickets to a pre-screening of the movie. My friend Jamie got them from work and couldn't use them. I am forever in her debt. So on the 19th at 5:30 PM, I took my cute niece, Britney to see it. We really had alot of fun. I think she really enjoyed watching Jacob. He is pretty cute. Then that night at midnight, I went to another showing with my friend, Amber. Her and I had alot of fun. The theater we went to did theme rooms and we were in a Jacob room. However, there were so many people there that it was kind of tense. My third showing was on the 20th at 9:40 PM. I went with my friends, Jamie, Dawnita, and Jen. We went to Red Robin for dinner and had a really good time visiting. I sat by Dawnita during the movie and listened to her running commentary. Usually this would have bugged me, but she was saying all the same things I was thinking and it was really funny to listen. Although, I had already seen the movie a couple of time's so it didn't ruin it for me. I will even admit that I screamed when Edward came out and my cute friends thought that was pretty funny. It was quite a fun weekend.

At the Red Robin they had stand-up's of some of the character's and I had to have my picture taken with Edward. I am also a teensy obsessed over Edward.

To end my fun weekend, Jamie and I went to a showing of Planet 51. Cute movie, by the way. And when they were starting the movie, the actually started New Moon. Jamie thought it was maybe the preview but I knew they had made a mistake. I just started laughing because although I wouldn't have minded seeing it again, I was a little New Mooned out for awhile. They finally started the correct movie. What a weekend!!! I really have some great friends to share those fun time's with.

Silver Lake/Brighton 2009

After church today, we decided to pack a lunch and take a ride up the canyon. We decided to go up to Silver Lake up at Brighton. We ate our lunch in the truck and then proceeded to walk around the lake in 30 degree weather. Without heavy coats. All I was wearing were jeans, two long sleeved shirts and a hoodie. Jon was wearing jeans, a dress shirt, and a sweater. Your probably asking yourself if we are crazy. To answer that question.......Yes we are. We got half way around the lake and Jon wanted to trun back. But since we were half way, I told him we should keep going. We were freezing, our cheeks were red, and we had snotsicle's on the ends of our noses. But we got some great pictures, so I think it was worth it. Enjoy!!

Braden's 11th Birthday

On November 1st, we all went over to Jon's parents house for dinner and to celebrate our nephew's, Braden, birthday. The uncle's on the Williams side decided Braden was old enough to start learning how to shoot. So, the uncle's and Grandpa Williams, went in together and got Braden and air rifle. He's pretty proud of it too. Now, Jon or one of the other Williams men just need to take him out and show him how to use it.

Halloween with the Saddler's

On Halloween night, we were invited over to Daniele's house to spend Halloween with her and her kids. We had chili, hot dogs, seven layer bean dip, and lots of other yummy stuff. I dressed up Dixie as a witch and told Missy she could take Dixie with her Trick or Treatin. I think they had alot of fun. Britney went with her friends and Daniele and I took Braden out for a second go around. After everyone was home, the kids dumped out their candy and did a trade. It was fun to watch. Here are a few pictures from a fun evening.
