Thanksgiving weekend...

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and are enjoying this holiday season! We had a fun weekend. I had to work from 6 to 6:30 on Thanksgiving day, so poor Brett stayed home and loaded the car and studied. I am grateful I have a husband who is willing to sacrifice his Thanksgiving dinner, since I had to work. When I got off we headed out for Price. It had been storming all day in St. George, so I was super stressed about the roads but they ended up being fine. Thank goodness! On Friday we got to spend the day with the Riches and go to Thanksgiving dinner at Grandma Riche's. It was fun to see Tim, Terri, Justin, Michelle, and the rest of the gang up there. It was sure yummy!
Here is Brett wrestling with Caleb. Sorry its the only pic I got up there....

Denna and Happy

On Saturday we spent the day with the my family. We had fun. The boys went rabbit hunting while the girls ran some errands and talked. Then Brett put on the body suit to get chased by the police dog.
The dog is in "Attack School" so he needs all the practice he can get.




Getting ready....











After with slobber and blood on the suit...


After he played with the dog we had our Turkey Bowl. Here is dad stretching for the big game....
Brett, Justin, Ryan Falk, and I were on the winning team against Jason, Dad, Jeremy, Heidi T., and Lance. They tried hard, but we beat them! My mom made a big dinner and Riches (except Danae) came over to eat after the football game. After we were done eating Denna got a call from Danae, she got engaged to Jake Jenson! The cute couple...

Her gorgeous ring!

We are super excited for them. Denna and Happy are happy too. They still haven't picked out a date, but they will be getting married in the Salt Lake Temple. We will keep you informed on all of that.
Sunday we went to church with my family and saw both of our families and headed home. What a long ride! It was a fun weekend! We love both of our families so much! We are truely blessed with great families!

Looks like a long weekend. I love just being with my family and enjoying doing NOTHING!
Your nieces are growing up so fast. I hope we get to see you all at Christmas.

Hey,
It made me a bit home sick to see all your pictures. It sounds like a full weekend. So are your inlaws excited that Dinae is getting married? Oh and did Brett volunteer to get attacked by the dog or was that pushed on him by your so kind older brothers? :) Miss you guys a lot and I love seeing you be so happy.
LOVE YA
