We had a great Thanksgiving day here in Spanish Fork. Caleb, Holly, and Julie came over about 11am and we just hung out while we got all the food ready to go. We ate about 2pm and then lounged for a while to digest.
We played some games, ate pie, and played quite a bit of Guitar Hero! Here's some pictures.
Russell carving the turkey.
Playing Ticket to Ride! It was Holly's first time.
Chocolate, Apple, and Pumpkin Pies! Plus a little ice cream on the side.

Caleb and Julie rocking out to Guitar Hero. Caleb is using his star power.About 10pm Russell and I left to go to Pleasant Grove to a scrapbook sale that started at 11pm. They had a Silhouette Bundle (a die cutting machine, download card, and cardstock stacks) for $200 instead of $600 and I really want one for Christmas so we decided to go up and see what happened. Google gave us some wrong directions, so by the time we got there there was a HUGE line. Turns out though that there were two sales at the same place, and most of the line was there for some t-shirts from mod-bod. The line started moving at 11pm and Russell was joking about how they would stop the line before we got in. Well...sure enough....they did! Haha. We did get in just a few minutes later and got the Silhouette and were out by 11:15! Turns out they had 30 or 40, which isn't quite the "Limited Quantity" the ad said.
We got back on the highway to come home and about one exit down we came to a standstill. No one was going anywhere. We sat there for about 20 minutes, then saw some cops and tow trucks come down the shoulder. A little bit later a helicopter took off in the distance ahead. About an hour after we stopped we finally got going again. Turns out a drunk driver was going north on the southbound lanes, which doesn't work out very well. We were quite thankful that we had to wait a few minutes to get in the store.....otherwise that could have been us. Tonight on the news we learned the drunk driver died later at the hospital, but none of the other people were hurt.
