Thanksgiving Week

Every night this week I have thought, I have to go and blog about today,  my next thought has been, I am too tired I will tomorrow!  So here it is the end of the week and I have to recapture the feelings of this great week.

We started out Tuesday night at the Jazz game.

Jonah wasn’t feeling great so Bryan stayed home with him and we brought Nate along.

Wednesday was the annual and much anticipated tree hunt!  One of my very favorite holiday traditions, and I used to not be a part of it because I had to have the “perfect tree”.  I still get the perfect tree, it is just a different kind of perfect.  We went up near Strawberry reservoir this year.  It was so nice because the weather was perfect and we had the whole day to enjoy.

We sledded.

Jonah thought is was so much fun.

We relaxed.

We had lunch and hot cocoa.

Then off hunting we went.

There it is, my perfect tree.  Quite unique because it is actually 3 trees with one trunk.  I love it!  It took quite some time to chop down because of it’s size.  Bryan just rolls his eyes at me when I find my perfect tree!  He then happily chops it down (with help from me) and drags it all the way down the mountain (with more help from me).

Very successful day with a tuckered out Jonah.

Thursday morning we all ran the 5K Turkey trot at the rec center.  This was Jacob’s first 5K and he was very excited.  Brandon and I made a goal to beat our 2 years ago time of 44 minutes.  We did it in 39, I was very proud of Brandon he did a great job.

Chris, Nikelle, Justin, Nathan, Hailey, and all of us Evans before the race started.

Jonah took the easy route.

Jacob racing to the end!

Hurray we did it, now let’s go and eat some pie!

Thanksgiving dinner was fantastic.  We were invited to Jen’s parents house because we were the lone man out this year.  The food was delicious, the company was great, and the pie finished the night off right!

Now the week is over and Bryan, Brandon and Jacob are headed off to the big game.  I am staying back with Jonah, ahhhh I wish I were there.  And as I always say, no matter what happens today we will still love the Foster’s!

I am thankful for this great week and my great life!
