Thanksgiving

So yesterday was Kyle and my first Thanksgiving together, and trying to include both families. First thing in the morning, we went running with his dad up the road from their house and then down to the beach. It was fun, but I realized how the alitude is so much different at Bear Lake than it is over in Logan, plus I'm used to running inside. Next we lifted for a little while. Luckily I have my own dumbbells and lifted away from those two because I know John (Kyle's dad) would have teased me a little. It's ok though because I passed both of them up on flexibility when we were stretching. I went inside and helped Melissa (Kyle's mom) with mixing and making stuff while Kyle was in the shower.

Next we went to mom's house and had our first Thanksgiving meal of the day. It was way yummy. We of course had the traditional sprite and cranberry juice and also cranberry sauce in the shape of the can. AnDe and Zack were there also, with us, Mom, and Ralph. During dinner Tyson called, so we passed the phone around the table and everyone got a turn to talk to him (in spite of Kyle trying to convince me not to give him the phone). After dinner us girls and Ralph sat in the front room listening to the first Christmas music of the year (well, kindof Kyle's family has been listening to it since October), while Kyle and Zack went on a four wheeler ride.

After Kyle got back we headed to his house. Woohoo, I'm actually driving and shifting a little smoother although I still kill it when I try to reverse (stupid clutch). When we got to his house, it was 3:30 and Melissa said that dinner would be ready in about an hour, so we decided we'd take a nap. We fell asleep looking out the window in their front room at the lake. It was the perfect day to take a picture of the beach, but of course I was too tired to get my camera, so I just told him that some time we'd have to have our picture taken down in front of the lake on a day like. We both fell asleep quickly, and it felt like a short time, but we woke up at about quarter to 6. Apparently, Kyle had been snoring really bad (I didn't even notice), his little brother had been in and out slaming the door and Melissa had been talking on the phone really loudly but we slept through it all. Dinner was really good, but neither of us could eat much because of our previous meal.

After dinner Mom, Ralph, AnDe, and Zack came to his house and we all (including some friends of his parents that drove up from Denver) played games. First we played Catch Phrase, and teamed up boys against girls. Of course, the girls won...well, kindof. Next we played Liers Dice. This game is awesome and if any of you have seen Pirates of the Carribean, you know the game. This is the favorite game at Kyle's house because it brings out so much personality in people. John and I could spend hours just challenging and harrassing each other, and both of harrassing Kyle together.

It was a really nice day. I wish I would have had my camera with me because there were many photo opts. Hopefully next year we'll be able to get some pictures. I'm seriously looking forward to Christmas, and being with the family. And the weather guy lied. He said it was supposed to snow, and it didn't. I'm not much of a snow loving person so I would say woohoo but I am taking a snowboarding class next semester (at Kyle's biding) so I'm not spending that extra money for no reason, haha. Oh well, it'll snow soon.
