What a Weekend!

If you are a follower of the rest of the families blogs then you already know how we spent our weekend. I guess you can stop reading now if you feel you don't need to know any more about our stuffing our faces for the entire weekend, our shopping trips, and our Jazz games. If you are still reading, this is my version of the weekend.

Thanksgiving Day:
What else can you say except YUMMY! We were put in charge of bringing ham and the famous cranberry/raspberry salad. Simple huh? Well, I got the ham out of the freezer on Tuesday and really did not think about it again. When we went to put it in the oven that morning, it was still frozen. So what should have taken an hour and a half, took 3 or 4. We finally made it to Harmony and at least they were not waiting on us. Along with Ted and Barbara, there were Mark and Lisa and the boys, Gardner and Norma Schmutz and Lindsey's friend Tiffany. Needless to say, it was a delicious meal. We had a good visit and some good laughs. It was kinda rainy and gloomy but I had it in my head that I wanted to go up to our property and take a family picture. We had Tiffany go with us so she could be the photographer. We got some really nice pics, rain and all.
Loadin' up the plates.

Hope everyone has mashed potatoes, Lindsey's loadin' up.

Lisa and I were enjoying watching the men get dinner ready.

Friday:
We were our doing some "black friday" shopping in Cedar and Brandon called to say he had some lower bowl tickets for the game that night. We jumped in the truck and headed up. He was able to get us down on the floor to be bench warmers before the game. Basically you get to sit right on the Jazz bench and watch them warm up. Jessika was so nervous to meet D- Will she could not stand it. For some reason, none of the starters came out. We did get pictures and autographs of Millie, Korver, Brewer, Price, Miles, Koufos, Almond, Collins and Fesenko (sp). It was really neat. Kim and Kelsie and Dad came to the game that night too. Dad was on the bench with us. They won that game against the Kings.

Rex asked Brewer to hammer one down for him...and he did.

Saturday:

Pretty lazy morning....not in a big rush to do anything. We spent the morning playing beauty shop. Jessika curled my hair, Janna's hair and Janna curled Lauryn's. We all looked so cute. The guys went to Cabellas and the girls to a couple of stores. Then off to the game again. We were hooked up in the All-Star suite. It is a double suite with tons of food, (stuffing our faces again). Everyone was there except Lindsey, (we missed her). They ended up losing that game to the Nets. It was a really fun night anyway. Rex and Jess were bench warmers again, along with Trisha, Quinn, Kim, Mike, Corbin and Kelsie. Jess was hoping for another shot at D-Will, but no cigar. After the game, Rex, Jess and I drove back to Enoch. We got there about 1:15am. Then it was home to Vegas on Sunday.

It was a really fun weekend, glad to be home safe. The only thing that would have made it better, was to have had Lindsey there. At least she was able to spend Thanksgiving Day with us.

Great blog, Paula! I knew you would come up with something new. Thanksgiving at the Kelseys.........sounds like you really had fun. At least you knew who everyone was. Lindsey had no clue who Gardner Schmutz and his wife were. That was so funny. I loved it. Mom

what do you mean none of the starters came out? Miles & Milsap are both starters! You'd think the CC first lady would know that. You're so Jazz spoiled.
