Thanksgiving Week in Idaho

Imagine packing 2 adults, 4 kids, a dog and stuff for a weeks journey in a mini-van.  Then spending 12 hours in this packed vehicle driving one way and then back.  Several tanks of gas, food, 2 nights in a motel, a few fights and even fewer bathroom breaks........ but Spending time with family and friends was PRICELESS!!
We drove late into the night to get there and luckily we did because the next day it snowed....and snowed.

We enjoyed our week in Idaho.  Juggling time between families, trying to see friends and even attending a funeral.  We had to go to DI to buy Den dress clothes and shoes to attend (all for under $20). That was quite the experience.  My sweet friend made us appointment to get our hair done.  It was nice to sit next to each other, try to catch up and get pampered all at the same time.  It was so fun, we wondered why we had not done this before.  She also got me a killer deal.

and the after......

So what do you think?? My siblings were shocked.  I no longer have what they call the 80's hair. 

Thanks Katie!!

Enjoyed hanging out with family.

Kelsee found a new love..TWILIGHT! She watched the movie at grandmas and is now seriously addicted.  She is furiously reading the book and cannot wait to go and see New Moon. It is all she talks about!  

Thanksgiving day was spent at the Goulds.  The girls were so horrible getting ready (they could not find anything). My dad thought it was all so funny! Anyway to make a long story short I forgot the camera and my cell phone.  So unfortunately, we have no pictures. It was such a nice day I would of loved to have had some.

 The time went by all too fast.

I am thankful we had the opportunity to visit family and good friends and hopefully

 it will hold me till the next time.

I am also very thankful for the quality time I got to spend with my sweet husband and wonderful kids.  Being away from the computer and such really was a great thing!!
