Thanksgiving Break

.

Thanksgiving started out by seeing New Moon with my roommate and her Family (see below for my thoughts about the movie). The rest of my break was so great. I got to see my uncle Ted. Even though he beats me everytime we play Canasta or speed its great having him around. He's hilarious,and its sad that we only get to see him once a year. I got to go home the entire week which was so nice. I have my Christmas shopping done and my Secret Santa Gift for my Christmas work party taken care of.
Thanksgiving day was bitter sweet. I had a really fun day but not as many people made it as we usually expect to come. All of my cousins basically were out of town or elsewhere for Thanksgiving, except my cousin Jessica. My sisters Erin and Adrienne weren't able to come home from Missouri and Denver. So our dinner was my sister Lindsay, Tyler, their 4 kids, my parents, me and Jordan, Jessica, My grandparents, and my uncle Ted. Our dinner was delicious especially the cranberry sauce, the sweet potato fries and the potato casserole. We had a nasty canasty card game, and I lost again. I played Jessica, Jake and Olivia at our Basketball hoop. Jake and I still tie everytime we play eachother. Why can't I beat the 9 year old. We got to chat and catch up and just have a fun time being together.
Jordan and Jessica and I hung out that night and ended up getting a Redbox. After Jessica went home my dad and Jordan and I were hanging out with Ted. We were talking about funny movies that we liked, and why getting dimentia when your old wouldn't be such a bad idea. We discussed the music Ted had in his I tunes Library. Then Ted had the bright idea of letting us watch this X-Files episode he had bought off Itunes. We were thinking this must be a really good, and super interesting episode if he actually paid for it. So we watched it. Ted is either seriously disturbed, or he has a sick sense of Humor. If anybody is interested the episode was called HOME. I have never seen anything quite as disturbing or disconcerting as this episode which was about this incestuous family involved in inbreeding. Ya, this family had 3 sons and one of the sons was both the dad and a brother to the other two. I was shocked and speechless. And, unfortunately Johnny Mathis songs are ruined for me. I drove to work the next morning and heard a Christmas song sung by Johnny Mathis, and it made me think of this episode. We were all sort of appalled after the show ended. Ted was just laughing at us. I still don't get why that episode spoke to him.

Friday my family and I went and saw Blind Side. Blind side was sweet. It was uplifting and inspiring, and funny and all the way around a good movie. I Highly recommend it. Even my mother enjoyed it which is saying something.

Saturday I went to work and had almost had a heart attack. A batch of work I had scanned on Friday never really got scanned so it was never processed or posted to people's acocunts. But that all got fixed today thank Heavens. Back to Saturday. I was going to take my sisters kids out for the afternoon, but Jake had to watch the BYU game so we had to reschedule. I got to hang out with my Dad and run errands that Afternoon. Over all it was a stupendous day. BYU beat the Utes. I got to take my friend Holly out for dinner since she was up in Logan for her birthday on the 19th. That was way fun. And I got my brother Jordan to spend time with me. ha ha. And my sweet miss baby Scarlett was born Saturday Afternoon. Pretty much the best ending to a Holiday Break. I just wish I could have gone to Denver with my mom to see her.
