Thanksgiving and Birthdays

We went to Arizona for Thanksgiving this year. I could have sworn we weren't supposed to, however. Everything was against us. We were going to leave on the Tuesday of Thanksgiving week and it started to snow on the Saturday before. Sierra got sick on the Friday before and David got sick on Saturday. It kept snowing, however Sierra was better on Sunday and David was on antibiotics. Monday arrived and it was still snowing with a big storm that was supposed to hit us Tuesday morning. I was murmuring. I felt like we deserved a vacation and was very upset that we may not be able to go. We rarely leave Pocatello and I just new that we were going to be stuck. It was my birthday also. Anyway, I got as ready as I dared, then Rob came home and we had birthday cake and opened presents. Then Rob went back to work and I packed our bags and prayed for faith. He got home around 10 and we finished packing our bags and the car around 2 in the morning. We then turned on the tv and watched the news from earlier and decided that if we were actually going to be able to make it we had better just go. So at 2 in the morning we put the kids in the car and left. We made it and had a great time. The weather there was amazing. The kids wore their shorts and t-shirts the entire time. It was fabulous. When we came home it was white, white, white. The day after we got home the kids put their snow suits on and went outside. :)

Sierra had her 8th birthday a week after Thanksgiving. Since it was her 8th birthday we threw her a birthday party with her friends at Deleta. It was a little psychodic, but she loved it. She will be babtized on the 31st of December. Wow!
