Heather and I spent our Thanksgiving break in Colorado! It was wonderful to be home and spend time with my family. We spent Thanksgiving day at Monte and Marsha's house. Here are a few pictures from Thanksgiving day:
1)Thanksgiving dinner! There was 18 of us and our last names were all Miller! awesome!
2) Jay's son Knox took a liking to dad. :)
Our annual Sister Thanksgiving photos!
On Friday while mom was at work, we played in the snow! Dad, Whit and Heather had fun pulling each other on a sled using the ATV. I didn't feel like finding snow gear, but I eventually came out and helped Whitney build a snowman. We even had a snowball fight!
On Saturday we got all the Christmas decorations down from the attic above the garage. We also visited Grandma at the nursing home and decorated her room. What happened after we got back from visiting grandma is probably what we'll remember most from this Thanksgiving. As soon as we got home dad went out on the ATV while the rest of us went inside. I happened to look outside while dad was coming back into the driveway and he decided to do a 360 in the small amount of snow that was still left... well the ground had hardened from Friday's snow and the ATV flipped onto it's side and dad fell hard to the ground. We ended up having to call 911 and an ambulance took him to Conejos Hospital. Mom went with him and my sisters and I had to wait at home. Mom finally called with the news... 3 broken ribs! He was so mad that we didn't just drive him to the hospital, but we didn't know the extent of his injuries. Luckily he only had to spend one night at the hospital. Heather and I had to say good-bye to him Saturday night in his hospital room. My sisters and I did enjoy that evening to ourselves though! We headed to Alamosa to have dinner at SLV pizza (we ordered The Alamosa pizza :)). Our original plan was to see the Muppets movie and have dinner together as a family... but plans change! Heather and I drove home on Sunday. 10 hours is sooo long in the car. Heather and I can't wait till we can go home again for Christmas!!!
Heather told me the story about your dad. It's a bummer, but I have to admit it was a funny story. Sounds like you had a good time!
