So much to do so little time

It is that time of year when I feel the pressure of all the things I want to do and all the things that need to be done. I love the holidays and spending time with family and friends, but always relieved when they are passed until the next year. I have almost all my christmas shopping done with just a few more items to make (that's the pressure) and buy.

It has been snowing like crazy. Last week we had a few good storms and I am sure the snow is here to stay. The Tuesday before Thanksgiving they pretty much such down the city for a blizzard. USU closed at 2:00 and the storm hit about 4:00 and the wind was blowing like crazy, which made it very hard to see outside. Glad we were all home safe and warm.

We went to Price for Thanksgiving. It was nice to be there for the Vea family tradition of killing pigs and making sausage. It is a three day ordeal that the family looks forward to doing every year. We haven't been to Price for Thanksgiving in 4 years. Parker thought it was really cool. Maisie, Parker, Marissa, & Zoie decided to play killing pigs. They took turns shooting each other and then falling on the ground and shaking like the pigs did. Kind of disgusting, but pretty funny at the same time. Got to love kids.

Here is a picture of Grandpa Vea. He hates getting his picture taken, but I got one when he wasn't paying attention.
