thanksgiving

sunday was dad's birthday!
we got up and going and took off around noon to head to the valley.
I was actually really nervous for the roads because we
have gotten a lot of snow lately. but they were
dry the whole way!
sooooo relieving!
when we reached home everyone came over to
mom and dad's for a party for dad.
we ate a delicious dinner, had him open presents,
pictures with the grandkids, played spin the bottle (the clean version ;),
musical chairs and had cake and ice cream.
it was a pretty good night!
 












 
Monday me and madyn spent some time over at urie.
mads LOVES the kindergarten room!
 
 
she also really enjoyed being in grandma's room with all her kids!
we then went over to dad's shop and had some lunch with him.
then it was about time for my infusion.
carilyn graciously watched madyn for me while I got it done.
when I went to go get her that evening the
sunset was beautiful!!!!
I love Wyoming skies!
 
 

tueday me and mads spent the morning over at the shop
watching poppop work on the truck!
madyn was sooo funny with dad.
she followed him around everywhere and would say
what ya doing pop pop? where you going pop pop?
she never left his side!

 
that afternoon dad had a wrecker call over to Evanston.
so we went with him to get the title in our name and
the sales tax, liscense plates and everything all situated out.
I tell you what it felt good getting all
that taken care of!
madyn was thrilled to go on her first tow call with pop pop!
 
 
se had a good rest of the day working at the shop and
getting things done.
eric and mark came into town that night.
it was nice to have him back!
Wednesday I had an ENT appointment over in Utah.
there was a big storm coming in so we made it really quick.
the big news now is im going to have my tonsils taken out and my
deviated septum fixed.
we got into the storm on our way home but
luckily started to get in front of it by the time we got to the sisters.
Thursday was Thanksgiving!
 
 
we spent this year over with the gillies' family.
it was a crazy day with all those kiddos around!
dinner was absolutely yummy and so was dessert.
 












 
 
that night me and eric got out for a date and went and saw Mocking Jay Part 2.
I LOVED it! I thought it was really good!
Friday eric went up to the mountains with the gillies boys
to get Christmas trees.
he saw lots of animals, I think they had a pretty good time.
 







 
I stayed around the house and got some laundry and cleaning done.
madyn was soooo happy playing.
I think she needed a little alone time.
that afternoon we went out and tried to do some family pictures...
madyn was not having it at all!
oh well I guess!
that night before bed I walked into this...
 

 
eric is seriously the best dad around!
we are sooo lucky to have him in our lives.
 Saturday we woke up and took off to go to heber for bre's baby shower.
the roads weren't very good so we decided to turn around.
eric and the gillies boys made it down to the Utes game and I think
they had a really fun time.
eric said it snowed on them the whole game.
that evening we had everyone over for café rio.
it was delicious!
it was another good week in the gillies books!

....sick....

so with runny noses and a cough at our house
we decided it would be best if we stayed home from church.
as the day went on I started to feel awful!
but I pounded the vit c and Dayquil.
we had our young women in excellence that
night so I had to set up and decorate.
luckily everyone was taking a nap when I took off so I
didn't leave eric with too big of a mess.
when I got home I was picking up things around the house and
I went back to madyn's room
and there were reeses puffs EVERYWHERE!!!
all over the floor, her bed, EVERYWHERE!
oh the joys of a two year old!
I was soooo tired when I was home but knew
that there wasn't time to get a nap in and have all my
errands done and get back to the church in time for young women in excellence.
by the time ywe was over I was absolutely exhausted!
Monday morning we woke up and I had the WORST sore throat.
I pretty much knew instantly that I had strep.
so me and the kiddos headed over to urgent care to get tested.
let me tell you it was CrAzY!
a sick mom with two very energetic kiddos was rough.
so me and mads tested positive with strep but they treated all three
of us just in case.
we may look happy.... but as for me... I was hurting...


Graysen, mark, and brandy were able to come home from the
hospital. as a precaution to keep Graysen from getting sick we
kept Easton another night.
eric also had a sore throat and his ears were killing him
so we figured he had strep too....
not to mention on sunday I caught madyn walking around using
eric's toothbrush.
so thankfully they medicated him too.
 

those two together crack me up!
I sure love em!
Tuesday eric's clinicals were cancelled so he graciously
took care of me.
my tonsils were now covered in white sores...
it was pretty nasty!
and I was hurting like crazy!
but I do have the cutest little stink to keep my spirits up!
 

I really kind of like her a lot!
Wednesday was another downer...
we hurt and we hurt bad.
not to mention we have been going to bed at like 7 at night.
I was able to get the whole house sanitized though so that was a big win of the day!
Thursday I think was the first day we were finally
feeling somewhat better.
but we still spent the day on the couches and watching movies.


 
she really makes me laugh with her silly personality!
I don't know if my immune system is still way shot from my surgery
or if this case of strep is just really harsh... but it really is kicking our butts.
Friday we were starting to feel pretty better.
it was the first time that week I actually did my hair and makeup.
madyn seemed to be feeling better too...




 eric unfortunately was still feeling under the weather.
I had such bad cabin fever on Friday but the weather was so nasty
outside and so nice and cozy in the house.
Saturday morning I went and did some grocery shopping to
finally get out of the house.
we wanted to be able to head to the valley but the roads weren't
so great so we decided to wait it out another day.
we had a good day relaxing
and then watching the hunger games...
just preparing for the big final movie!
sooo excited for it!
