About a week before Thanksgiving my little brother, Kalan, came down to Moses to get his car that had been parked at my house for a year. (Seattle parking is a killer!) I LOVE when he comes to visit and always wish that it was for longer...
After the long puke filled (Paisley) drive to Burley we rested for a day and then I went and saw my high school friend, Anne. We haven't seen each other for 3 years! Her daughter Sadie is pictured above with Paisley and then below I am holding her newborn, Elijah, 6 weeks old! Hard to believe that we are all grown up now!
At Papa Goose and Maimi Dawn's house we made a gingerbread house, Britni, mom, and I did the black Friday thing, went car hooding, and the ladies went shopping with my Grandma Mimi in Twin on Saturday. Stephen thought it would just be a quick stop and Macy's and then lunch, but I guess he doesn't remember what it's like to shop with Hunt women. ;) 8:00 am-8:00pm. you got it. I think we hit about every store in Twin Falls! So much fun! Car hooding is a very fond memory of mine. I was quite surprised that Beck enjoyed it as much as he did. He didn't get off the whole time! And they went again the next day while we were shopping all day. Paisley, well, she didn't love it so much, but she only went for a bit while I took us back to the house.

This may be one of the first years that we have gotten everyone together for a family picture while eating YUMMY Thanksgiving dinner at Mimi's house (We missed you Jake, Kalan, Tyson, and the "Colorado Hunts!" Well, technically, Jenica and Katelin may be from just about everywhere now ;) Am I missing anyone else? The Beck girls, minus Jake :(
Korbi, Britni, Dawn (sitting) and Kortni ALL the grand kids and great grand kids minus the few mentioned above, plus Jax, Lizi, and Landon, Tyson's son. The Stephen Ashton Family, Bruce and Dawn, and Grandma Mimi
Al, Dawn, mother Twylla, and Tim
And the best looking pair at the whole dinner! Me and Grandma Mimi! Soooo yummy! You see that Mountain Dew right there? That was one of the last ones I had. I went 3 whole days, broke down yesterday and had one... and now I'm craving another, but Stephen and I have a weight loss bet going until Christmas and I really wanna win!!! When we got back from Thanksgiving Break we were greeted with a full day of snowfall. And added to what was already there, we had a very nice snow day! Stephen stayed late for work and took Beck down the driveway a few times...The only thing Paisley wanted to do was eat the snow... Then after Stephen left I took the kids down the road to an empty lot and tried to sled for a little bit longer and then it was inside for hot chocolate. If it wasn't for the scary driving and getting stuck in the snow, I think that Winter could be one of my favorite seasons! Paisley has grown SUPER attached to her mama. Poor little thing, I don't help the issue with how much I tote her around. But I decided it was time for her to venture out a bit and took her to her first gymnastic class. I stayed the whole time of course and it was awful at first. She didn't wanna do much of anything, and hung on my leg for about 30 minutes, but I persisted and by the end she even let one of the other coaches touch her in a backward roll and then I got a "tada!" I think in the end she may just like the spotlight. ;)
