The Holidays are Here!

Yesterday we went with Bryan's family down to SLC to go to cableas and Ikea shopping then to Temple Square to see the Christmas lights.  My kids did a lot better then I thought they would!  I love going to do fun things and making fun memories for my kids.  

Our family at temple square.  I swear all of Salt Lake City was there!  It took us about a half hour just to find a parking space.  It wasn't too cold though so it made it a nice night to get out.  

The cousins!  With Bryan and Grandpa.  

The only way to get a group shot is to yell look and just take what you get.  

Thanksgiving my boys started playing with this old box and Bryan was pushing them around the floor.  They were loving it!  I love to see my kids playing together.  

We went to my Aunt Roxeys house for Thanksgiving with my parents, grandparents and Aunt Martha and her kids.  We had a great time together with some fantastic food.  Roxey has a putting green in her yard and my boys had a ball playing on it.  

Yes we already put up our tree.  I couldn't wait!  My kids LOVE it and knock on wood the boys haven't bothered it very much.  The bottom foot is empty so I'm sure that's helping.  I'll put a picture of it all put up later.  

A quick story- the day after Thanksgiving my sister in law Katie and I decided to head out and try to get some deals early. We left just after 6 and everything I wanted at Wal-Mart was GONE!  I couldn't believe it!  They weren't even the big huge deals.  We went to shopko and had the same problem there.  Then when we went out to her van at 8 am the front tire was totally flat.  So we had to call for help and wait.  I think this is the first time in my 4 years of knowing her that we got out with ANY of our kids and this happens.  At least I got one thing and Katie got a couple of things.  Oh well.  At least I'm just about done with my shopping.
