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!
