Thanksgiving Time
November 18-25

Who doesn't love the great Holiday of Thanksgiving? or as they say in Español: acción de gracias! Dan and I decided we wanted to have a Logan Thanksgiving before we all scattered so on Saturday we went out and bought everything we needed. Michelle cooked half of the food (thanks Michelle!) but we decided to go all out and decorate. Saturday night Brittany, Dan and I stayed up late preparing our first Thanksgiving turkey. Man those take forever! It was hilarious watching all of us trying to pull everything out of the turkey and to pull the skin from the meat. Sunday Mike, Michelle, Bryan, Lacey Richard, Dan and I all gathered to eat a bountiful feast! I have to say it turned out really well and I have improved my cooking and crafting skills by tenfold!

Wednesday Dan still had to work so I went to Park City with my dad and all the girls and got a little shopping in...(I say little so Dan doesn't have a heart attack haha). Dan, my dad, Brent and Ty all went the the BYU game and then we all chilled that night.
Thursday we went up to the cabin. I just love it up there. If only we could quit our jobs and move there as cabin keepers for a while. It was a small Thanksgiving for the Bishop clan because it was the off year so we only had about half of the group but it was still a blast. O and we got to watch a few episodes of the Dick VanDyke Show. It is still so clever and funny.
Friday we got up early and went to the local fair grounds where my dad's friend Sam has horses. I haven't ridden a horse in a long time but it was a lot of fun. Kelsi and I got a good little gallop in on our horses and all the kids loved it! We then headed to St. George for some Flores Fun! I love the fact that no matter where we go it's always a crazy party. That night Dan's cute sister-in-law Jamee cut and dyed my hair. She cut 6 inches off, it doesn't look like a big change but for me it is huge since I've never done anything to my hair, but I love it!

Saturday Dan got up early and went rock climbing while I went on a bike ride with his mom Primavera, man that woman kicks butt! The weather was perfect and it felt so good to be out. We then went with the family and did a little more shopping, I was able to talk Dan into getting new shiny suave Sunday shoes. I gave him the good 'ol do it for your wife, with a little smile trick. Later on that night all the boys and I went out shooting. It was a lot of fun but I am a terrible shot, I think I only hit 2 clay pigeons while Dan hit a ton, but in my defense I like to think it's because we were on a cliff ha ha. Afterwards we went rock crawling, that was crazy fun and I've never done that in a truck at all! Insane! Later that night we had a BBQ before we went back to Logan. It was a fabulous break and I am grateful for so many things.
