We're BAAAAAAck

Our trip to Utah was nice. i was sick the whole time so that part stunk, but i made the best of it. thanksgiving was really fun. we had 15 people in all and the dinner was delicious. that morning, we played wiffle ball at the park as a family. i was very impressed with myself and it got me thinking about joining a softball league with dadi. i used to play, but it's been a while. anyways, i almost hit a home run. it was just a few feet short. bummer. my sister in law and i were super sore afterwards. the next day we went to the movies and saw Fred Claus. we all thought it would be pretty dumb but just wanted to get into the Christmas spirit. i guess because our expectations were so low, the movie ended up being pretty good. it was cute and i like Vince Vaughn. today we woke up early and drove home. I'm still sick so we didn't make our scheduled stops that we were going to. i had planned to meet my friend for lunch and also stop by my grandparents house. i didn't want to get them all sick so we just drove straight through. it was nice because we missed all of the traffic. moma did really good considering she was awake most of the drive. i tried to play games with her and sing silly songs to keep her mind off of how miserable she was. she has a baby cabbage patch doll that she loves to "mother". she was taking the dolls hands and singing itsy bitsy spider and wrapping her in the blanket and rocking her to sleep. it was pretty cute. when we stopped to get gas, dadi said "are you playing with your baby?" and moma said "i love baby". that was a first so we were excited. she has said so many funny new things lately. it's been so much fun. moma was super excited to see the dogs when we got home and she chased them around the house for about an hour. I'm sure they're sad to have us home. anyways, I'm glad to be home, but sad to have left the family. i have a lot to do this week. we're going to get our tree on Friday so that should be fun. i can't wait for Christmas. i love this time of year!
