No longer a girl in her twenties! ...and Thanksgiving!

That is right. I just had my 30th birthday!! And "yes" it does feel as old as I thought it would.

To start my day off my sister-in-law Robyn sent me a huge box. Inside were pictures and corresponding gifts to things we had done along with a present for each. She spoiled me rotten, thanks Ruby.

I had some good friends take me out to lunch, "Sauce," need I say more, yum!

We went ot Olive Garden for dinner (my favorite). We had some friends come with us and afterwards we went and seen New Moon. It was fantastic. Todd was a good sport and I think he really enjoyed it, not that he will admit that.

During the film, we could hear girl giggling around the theater. I would nudge Todd and whisper, "can you hear them, gees," to which he would respond, "Jess you sound just like them." To which I would gasp and giggle some more. Sooo ridiculous.

Thanks to all my family and friends who sent cards and called me on my special day, that is also my favorite part of my birthday.

THANKGIVING

We went up to Mesa to my aunt Pams for Thanksgiving. She was so gracious to invite us.

Yeah for second cousins! My kids have so much fun when they get together with these kiddos.

Thanksgiving is not quite complete without the traditional pie making.

Aunt Pam has a special place in these kids hearts, she really takes the time to make them feel special.

With a four wheeler rides you can see why she's my kids favorite.

No Thanksgiving break is complete without a small cleaning project. The kids helped me clean out the backyard, small as it may be. They pulled Cali around for an hour, and if they stopped for even a second she would let out a screech.
