So our original plans this year was to drive to Utah and spend the holidays at Lyann's house with most of Blair's family. Well the job Blair's working on is really behind schedule so they told the guys that they would be working thanksgiving. So our plans got derailed and suddenly we found ourselves stuck in Delta having Thanksgiving in our trailer. So to make the best of it we got together with our friends Luke and Michelle who also live in a trailer right next to us and planned a Thanksgiving meal for those of us stuck here for the holidays. (Luke is also an apprentice working the same job as Blair.) About a week before the guys got told that they would atleast get Thanksgiving day off but were working the day before and the friday and saturday afterwards. So atleast the guys ended up getting the day off.Here's Stuart(another apprentice, he's from Montana) practicing his foreman skills as he overlooks blair's carving technique.
Thanks to Michelle for taking on the task of cooking the turkey. It was her first time cooking a turkey and it turned out great!
Heres Luke holding Madison. He was sweet to hold her while I got my own plate ready. I think he likes to hold her because he's ready to have his own little girl.
Heres just a few shots of the kids making a mess with their own dinners. Cassidy and Statton are enjoying mostly the whipped cream off the jello.
This is Luke and Michelle's little boy Hudson. He's such a cutie. Cassidy and Statton just love "Hudson Buddy."
Trying to get Cassidy to hold still for a cute picture. Obviously jumping on the couch seems more fun.
I was trying so hard to get a picture of Statton and Hudson sitting in the chair together but that proved to be impossible.
Hudson in the chair.
Statton in the chair.
So heres all the guys together. They work together everyday but still don't mind spending the holiday together. Stuart(far left) was such a good sport to be single and spending Thanksgiving with two married couples and all their kids. I love this picture because he somehow ended up with two of my kids on his lap and he doesn't seem to care.
Good job boys now we're all facing the camera. It's good to see that one of them has a smile on their face.
So even thou we didn't get to spend Thanksgiving with our families we had a good time and wonderful food. We enjoyed spending the holiday with some good friends.

What kind of trailer do you have, looks so nice! I'm glad you were able to make the best of your situation, looks like you have some good friends there that helped make it fun too. What a cute little family.
I am glad that it all worked out and you had a nice Thanksgiving! Thanks for the letter to Kens. She was thrilled! See you soon.
Hey girl! Glad to see you had an eventful Thanksgiving...those are the ones you remember the most! I can't believe how big your baby has gotten! I hope all is well and your other "single" friend here in Idaho likes that Stuart is holding your kids and doesn't care too! :)
Wow, it's been a while since I last commented here. How you've been? The kids are so big and I'm sure they are even bigger now since your post was from a while ago. You need to update and post some pictures.
I'm amazed that you are living in a 5th wheel. We tried to do that with Glen a few days while he worked in Duchesne. Man, I would only last a couple of days and I was ready to head back home. It was so difficult cause the girls wanted more space, they would get all cooped up in the 5th wheel and they would get all cranky...and so would I. So little by little we started going less and less until I just stopped going and we would just see Glen when he would come home mid week (for an evening) and then the weekend. It's nice that you made friends there. In Duchesne, none of the guys' wives liked going there, so it was just me. Anyway, glad everything is going well with you guys.
