The day before we had a little scare because Skyler took a hard hit at BYU's football practice and ended up with a nasty concussion and a separated shoulder. We weren't sure if the Dr.'s were going to let him fly home, but eventually they did. He was pretty out of it when he finally got home and having a rought ime with his short term memory- which we kind of got a kick out of and messed with him a bit (what kind of siblings would we be if we didn't give him a little bit of a hard time- that and the fact that we tease he is the "favorite" Ridley child).
Thanksgiving day was just spent at home. We played games, watched some movies and football, ate food and visited. We had dinner with just us and Dolph (my Aunt Dari's husband) and then later Ryan and Brooke and Paul's Mother and boyfriend, Adam, and Adam's mother came for dessert. We played a little "Just Dance" and enjoyed the evening.
After putting the girls, and Paul to bed, I stayed up and talked with my mom and Skyler until 2 am! The latest I have been up in some time. Ryan, Brooke, and Shayna went and did some Black Friday shopping so we also kept Nixon (Ryan and Brooke's new puppy) while they were gone.
Thinking about my family on that special day, I am always overwhelmed with gratitude for who each of them are to me. Feel so, so blessed to call them family and have such supportive, loving people as a constant in my life and in my family's life. They mean the world to me. They are all my best friends. Life for me, really has become ALL about family and I couldn't be more grateful!
Let's Eat!!!
Of course, the olive fingers!
Skyler always wants Shayna to be his "wife" in family photos because he feels so awkward that he has nobody to stand with...haha. Soon enough I'm sure, soon enough!
My beautiful Mommy and sister.
