Thanksgiving

This year we went to both of our parents houses for the day. We had dinner at Rick and Jeanie's, which was delicious. It was my first time having deep fried turkey and it was so good! I don't know if I will be able to go back to just plain roasted in the oven turkey. After that we headed to my mom's where all of my siblings were there. We sure did miss my niece and nephew Tyler and Hannah though! It was the first time my three older siblings were meeting Hudson so that was ecxiting!!
Jayson and I had made plans to go early morning shopping at Walmart, but when we got up with Hudson at 2:30 AM we were both too worn out to go. But we ended up going shopping at the Gateway in Salt Lake with my fam later that day, and I had gotten us tickets to New Moon at the theatre there. I was all hyped for New Moon, but I have to be honest I was dissapointed. The acting was horrible I thought, way too cheesy. The books are way bettr=er and I think from now on I am going to just stick to reading books. :) After that we hung out with my family for a few more days and came home on Saturday evening. It was a nice little vacation and Jayson was really glad for the 4 day weekend.
On Sunday we went and listened to Jayson's sister Stephanie and her husband Andrew speak in church. They both did a wonderful job! Then we hung out with Jayson's family for the afternoon and came home pretty tired from all of our traveling.
This week Jayson is in Riverton working until Friday so Hudson and I have been on our own. :) And it's been a good little experience. He is beginning to be WAY more alert and is staying awake for hours at a time. I haven't gotten much sleep, but that's ok it is awesome to be able to stay home with my son and be with him. This morning we did mommy and baby yoga. He absolutely loved it. You could tell it totally relaxed him and it will probably become a morning ritual in our house :)
I'm looking forward to my dad coming home next week and Hudson meeting him. :) Well I hope everyone is having a wonderful week!
