--On Sunday evening, Nov 20th, we had a full-scale Thanksgiving dinner, with as much of Wendy’s family as could come. Michael and Hilary, Andrew and kids. At the last moment, Brian had to work, and John is in school in Colorado. Michael actually came down Saturday and stayed through Wednesday. We had a lot of food left. We couldn't stand the thought of having Thanksgiving left-overs for three days before the holiday, no less, so we took them to a home teaching family that doesn’t have so much.--Thanksgiving Eve at Matthew-Kims: The Soderquists including Rachel and a roommate from BYU-I, , Andrew and Britain, Ryan, Nathan and Gloria, the Blakes, and Wendy and I. We sent out for pizza, played games and watched a movie. We got home just before midnight. The Soderquists and the Blake kids stayed overnight.
--Thanksgiving Day at Matthew-Kims: The above minus the Soderquist contingent. Eat, more games, then all went to see the current Muppet Movie (I wasn't very impressed).
--Day after Thanksgiving: we sure were tired and stayed in bed until after 10 am; then shopped the Dollar store for some gifts for the grandkids for Christmas Kick-off. Watched the Utes lay an egg in their football games with Colorado and BYU basketball team win in a tournament in Chicago. Thanks to Wendy for making a mincemeat pie which we were able to mostly bring home from the Thanksgiving dinner. For me it was the highlight of the meal and every meal since. I have been eating a piece for desert every meal since.
--Today we are working on decorating for Christmas.
