Thanksgiving

This year, we made the trek (all 19 hours of it!) to San Angelo, Texas to spend Turkey Day at my parent's home. My youngest brother was awaiting his mission call (he is going to Billings, Montanta on March 11), so we wanted to make sure that the entire family was able to spend some time together. You will have to forgive me as there are a lot of Thanksgiving photos I want to post!

Unfortunately, our first day there, Dad and the boys were off to play some pool when Dad started having major chest pains. After a 911 call and trip to the ER, he was given EKGs and a stress test (which he passed with flying colors) and was sent home the next day, just in time for Thanksgiving dinner. However, he was called back to the hospital and was given an angiogram which included a stent in his heart. He was told that not only does he have coronary disease, but that he also had a heart attack. The rest of our time in Texas was spent with Dad in the hospital. He is doing great now, but it was kind of a bummer since Dad hasn't gotten to spend any time with his newest grandchildren as of yet. At least we got to have our turkey dinner together!

Reagan, Payton and Brock with Grandpa. We had a birthday party for Brock, which we ended up doing at the hospital for Dad's sake. Happy 6th Birthday, Brocky!

Dave ended up with a new best friend during the week. Reagan and Brock have always loved David, but Brock seemed to especially bond with Dave this trip. They really enjoyed this viewing of Iron Man.
