Dentists, Doctors, and Turkey...

This past week was quite a week!  Thanksgiving was coming up and in preparation for it, I went to the dentist...and the doctor...

For insurance reasons, I went to Utah to get a check up at the doctor's and while I was there, I went to visit the dentist.  But no ordinary dentist.  I got my teeth checked by my brother!  At first I was worried it was going to be really weird but it wasn't that bad.  The only thing that was weird was me being known as the "Doctor's sister".  But it was a good weird.  I couldn't trust anyone more with my teeth than my big brother!

After a normal visit to the dentist and a dismal trip to the doctor's, my family decided to have an early Thanksgiving dinner, seeing as it will be the only time everyone will be together (besides Peter.  Poor guy had to stay up in Rexburg for work *frowny face*).  My mom and dad did a great job making the table festive and it was great to just sit back and enjoy the company of my family.  

The great table with my great dad!

It couldn't be a full family get together without Lil' Mike! (and Peter)

I left Thanksgiving morning to go back to Idaho.  It is always very hard for me to leave my family but at the same time I knew I wanted to share Thanksgiving with Peter as well and I couldn't leave him up there by himself on a holiday.
As soon as I got home, I got our little turkey in the oven and got everything else ready for our feast.  It isn't much compared to the dinner my mom made, but it was enough to leave me and Peter stuffed for the rest of the evening.

Our only Thanksgiving decoration.  Peter's homemade turkey!

It's hard spending the holidays away from your family.  We both were pretty homesick for our families that day.  But one thing that we were grateful for was that we could celebrate Thanksgiving with each other, our own little family. 

Belated Halloween Post

K.  This is probably my record of longest time it has taken me to post something after a specific holiday.  I finally put the pictures into my computer and as I was looking through them, I noticed that I didn't post the pictures of the Halloween season!  I'm not a big fan of Halloween.  The holiday just never really appealed to me (what I love are the two holidays that follow Halloween.  But that is for a different blog post...) but I love the fall season and Lori was in town so we thought it would be fun to carve pumpkins.  We held a contest to see who carved the best pumpkin (Zach and Lori claim their pumpkin won, but I beg to differ!). After that, the cute couple got all dolled up for a fun dance.  It was fun seeing Lori and Zach and it was a pretty successful Halloween, despite my dislike for the holiday.  

Feast your eyes on this!
