Thanksgiving 2023 Decorations

Seusical the Musical/Picture Challenge/Misc.

I went with Mom, Mandy, and Mary on Oct. 27 to see Seusical the Musical. We had several  cousin in it, on both sides. We had the Thayn crew: Bel, Millie, Evie, Kara, Asher, and Rinny. The Bird Crew: Miranda and her 3 kids (I don't know their names). After the show we went to see the cast. We saw Bel and then we chatted with Miranda. Miranda married my second cousin Keith. We met in my Price days. We were in the same friend circle, played volleyball together, did school and choir. It was so good to catch up with her. Evelyn and Rick (her in-laws) were also there. So we talked with them for some time as well.

Then we went to Dave and Kara's. We didn't make it down to the rest of the Thayn's. We stopped by to tell them good job. David decided he needed to make cookies for us. Michael was there. He called Jenny (who was at Walmart) and told her to come over when she was done. We all stayed and chatted for several hours. At 11:30pm, we (Mom, Mandy, Mary, and I) decided it was time to go. I didn't want to drive to Ogden. So I went to Mom's.

The next day we were sitting in the living room when we got a text from Dad and John stating "May the Best team win, Ladies!!! Xoxoxox", with this picture.

So of course we sent one back.

Meg wasn't home. She sent this one later.

Unfortunately, we lost the game. I took Loki for a walk after it kind of started to snow. I wouldn't call it full snow; it wasn't flakes, but it was little white balls (not hard) falling from the sky. By the time I left the next morning, this was what the world looked like.

Roads were wet until Hannah. After that, they were dry. I had to leave Sunday morning because I had tithing declaration after church, taking a treat to my ministering gals, and an Elder's Quorum and Relief Society Presidency Dinner. Then I ended up at a game night. 

It was a busy, but good weekend!

The Ministering Gift We Gave

I went on a date tonight and we carved pumpkins. This is the second time in my life I can think of that I carved a pumpkin. This time I had a template and that helped a lot. Thanks Zach for a fun date.

Happy Halloween!

More Halloween Decorations 2023

Mom made this cute table runner for my birthday a couple of years ago. So fun!

I changed the arrangement in the black vase. I realized you couldn't see the spiders. The top photo is the second/current arrangement.

Meg made me this quilt several years ago. Isn't it cute?!

We painted pumpkins at FHE this week. I made a cute little Frankenstein. I added him and the extra pumpkin I brought home to the pumpkins.

Halloween Village 2023

Can you spot the difference between the first town pictures and the second?

New Hair

I decided it was time to do something with my hair. I still had pink dye left (and still have more). I decided to have Sue cut and color my hair. I think this is my favorite one yet. We took off about 4 inches. Here is the final result. Thanks Sue!

Music and the Spoken Word

On October 15 a few members of my ward and I went to see Music and the Spoken Word. This was the first time I had ever gone. Before the broadcast, they run through all the songs to practice and get the kinks out before the live broadcast. Thanks ward for planning this! 

Back Row: Mark Long, Cassy Gardner, Alex Versey, Don Shaw, Talmage Robinson, Bob Hill, Ben Davis
