Thanksgiving Shelley Side

This year we spent Thanksgiving last Saturday because most of my family works during the real Thanksgiving. It was a perfect meal. My mom slaved all day baking pies and cooking all the food. Thank you mom for the yummy meal!

On Sunday we went up on the Kiabab to get Christmas trees! It was FREEZING! We didn't leave til 1:00 ish..got up there around 2:00 and we left at 5:00. We found 3 way awesome trees so fast. We had fried chicken, and HOT HOT HOT chocolate, and lots of snacks. We built a awesome fire and went sledding. All the kids had so much fun! However it was blizzard cold. Snow was hitting you so hard, and the wind was blowing so fast. No one complained hardly at all, which made it made it funner. We were in the middle of a thick group of trees, so it wasn't as bad where we were at, but when we went tree hunting, it was hard to see. We were so lucky to find 3 good trees so fast. We got down the mountain, and we headed back to Cedar City.

It was a Happy Thanksgiving for the Shelley family this year! :-) We have so many things to be grateful for this year. I think recognizing all the good that has happened to you makes the holidays more enjoyable and special. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

No pants...

As stated once before, Dawson prefers no clothes ALL the time. :-) He gets that from his daddy who comes home and just takes off all his clothes. J.D. says its just more comfortable that way. So all my fresh sunshine coming in from the windows is closed off because J.D. wants to be more comfortable.... BUT that's another story.

No Pants #1: Dawson loves to help me with the laundry, more so because he gets a pop every time we go to the laundry mat. It was late last night we went to go fold and pick up the laundry. Dawson is running around and next thing I know he has his pants around his ankles! I said, "Dawson pull up your pants." (I was laughing though) He replied, "No pants mom." and he laughed. He kept running around with his pants around his ankles until he totally biffed it-face first! I just laughed and said "that's what you get!" He just laughed with me and continued running around with his pants around his ankles.

No Pants #2: Right now, this instant as I'm typing, Dawson has taken his pants off... taken his diaper off.. and is grinning ohhh so mischievously. So, just his cool sweatshirt and his cute bum hanging out. He is also dancing to the "Word World" song. LOL!

No Pants #3: I have some boots that are SOOOO soft on the inside. Dawson just loves them! So...without pants he wanted to wear the boots. It was so funny! He could hardly walk because the boots went clear up to his bum. But he managed and was determined to wear those boots.
Need I say more?
