Thanksgiving Day

 

Here we are in November 2008 at Grandma Fife's house. Everyone made it but Brad's family ( in Sacramento with Rachelle's family), Anika (working), Tyler's family ( in Indiana), Kira ( in Tucson) and Lauryl ( in Tucson). We ate, played games, took pictures, put up the lights and talked alot. Then we ( Kim, Wynette, McKay and Bryce) headed to Brigham City to visit Grandma Christensen. We visited, played Boggle, and got up the next morning to rake leaves, clean windows, prune the apple tree, clean the gutters, visit with Timothy and Kristi with Gracie when they dropped in to see Grandma, and eat at Maddox! We made a DI run where Bryce found a "sweet" jacket from England and shirts, McKay found some shirts and Kim found speakers. Bryce and I headed to the Duces because McKay was working on getting internet on Grandma's computer ( that is what McKay did all the day before at GRandma Fife's!) where he could check on his Canyons pass and Wynette could get in a short visit with her dear friend of 30 years , Shari Duce, and then head up to Canyons via the new Legacy Highway which was fairly empty for a Friday night. We made it with 3 minutes to spare before closing and Bryce is the happy holder of a Canyon's season pass. We made it home in time to get up the next day and head to DI with old chairs ( yes, the recovered rocker is in DI heaven), get Grandpa Fife's old desk and haul it to DI, have lunch with Grandma Fife, pack up her couch and bring it to it's new place in our dining room. To celebrate the new arrangement, we got the movie Kungfu Panda and lit a fire in the dining room ( never done before in our 12 years living here). McKay burnt his second batch of pumpkin seeds, we turned on the Christmas lights for the season, and Bryce worked on his application to BYU. It was a busy day as we also got in our Christmas shopping ( almost done!!).
