Thanksgiving

So Lyle and I had an amazing Thanksgiving. We spent Thanksgiving with Momma and Poppa Vaniman eating turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes. I got to make home made rolls (thanks Aunt Sandy for the amazing recipe from the Griffitts Family Cookbook! Your rolls are the best!) and a salad. It was a great dinner and I am grateful for the relaxing day that we had with family. Friday we went down to go shopping at Pier 1 since we still had a gift certificate from them and their ornaments were on sale, and let's face it, I need ornaments for my tree. I am a newlywed and ornaments, however small they may be, are a big part of a christmas tree. So i got some cute red, silver, and gold ornaments, and a little angel to put on top! I am so excited to start decorating as soon as we get a tree! Then it was over to Mom and Dad Griffitts house for a night of breaking into tree festivals, eating some good food at Dockside, and watching some amazing fireworks and christmas lights! I was just sad the barge didn't catch on fire! I guess every fireworks show can't live up to the Fourth of July on Hayden Lake three or four years ago! My favorite part of the night was being with family. I have missed seeing Aunt Sandy, Uncle Alan, Brad, Jessie, Tawni, Ryan, and Aiden so much! They invited Lyle and I over to watch Christmas Vacation that night and it was amazing! I don't think I have laughed that hard in a LONG time! I just can't wait until we get to watch it with Trevor, Heather, and Bud! We stayed the night at Mom and Dad's because they had a room at the resort and then spent Saturday watching football and shopping for some more gifts for christmas. I have to say, work this morning was way boring compared to the fun weekend that I got to have with my family. I love you guys so much! Thanks for all the love, support, and lasting memories that we get to make every year! I LOVE THE HOLIDAYS!!!!!
