Christmas Eve

"we found a kind of drunk guy
looking after his completely smashed friend who was passed out on the
floor. The kind of drunk guy told us that he had been waiting there an
hour and a half waiting for this punk. He said ´´Fuimos a una fiesta,
y cuando se cabó, este wey empezó a chupar otra vez´´ In other words,
they went to a party, got drunk, then his friend kept drinking after
they left the party. So the three of us started kicking the poor fool
for about 2 minutes until he woke up. After that his friend grabbed
him, and they went on their merry way. They didn´t get very far,
because a few minutes later, we found the guy that was sleeping, but
alone this time... under an aloe vera plant. lol... what a great
friend. So we took pictures with him as he lay there with a terrible
hangover waiting for him in the near future. In the mean time we left
him our phone number and a word of wisdom pamphlet... that was fun."

Our week. Nov 25th- Dec 2nd 2012

Baby Ashers helped Tracy  with her Wednesday classes because these  kids are horrible!  She needs her. She is homed schooled now so she can help. 

Joseph and Anne are leaving their cute little apartment in Portland to go back to school in Provo.  They had to take down Joseph's beautiful artwork.  The card is a goodbye card for Anne from a friend.  They'll live in St George in Dec and then move when school starts in January.

Joe and Leo meeting for the first time. 

Roy and Aubs finally sold their house!!

Thanksgiving

                            Joseph and Anne spent Thanksgiving with friends at some lake in Oregon 

Ricardo came into town again and brought Sally and Nick.  We had lunch by Trevor's work.  They were only here a day. Rachel loves her job!  Thats probably a poop bag.  She talks about poop a lot.  Leo and his daddy.

Chelsea and Chris were with the "OTHER" family this year.  They took family pictures, hence the snazy picture. Chelsea was very excited to make it in the Andelin family photo.

Tracy and Dan ran the 5K with Dan's side of the family...and Sabrina. They saw Tamra there too!

Trevor and family went to Utah for Thanksgiving to be with Kelson.  Everybody went to Kacy's family's house for Thanksgiving.  Tracy's heart is warm knowing Steven and Brooke had family to be with.

So after the race Tracy and Dan had bagels.  Sabrina went home and we had our Turkey dinner.  Black Friday started on Thanksgiving night this year.  So they all went to Kohls at midnight.  They also walked out side of the Reagan library with Suzy on Friday morning.

Since Tracy had no kids home for Thanksgiving, she made Sabrina hang out with her.  Sabrina was home for the week.  She EVEN ground the cranberry's in Brandon;s place! Tracy and Dan are having a little bit of a hard time transitioning into empty nesters.
