Thanksgiving

We stayed here for thanksgiving. Mitchell and I had a great week he had most of it off. We stayed up WAY to late every night and spent time together kid free!  We had a great time that week. Took the kids to ice cream, read the papers, and played with our boys. On Wednesday we went to my mom’s house and Jessica and I met up with our cousins Lynette and Lindsey and did a craft off pintrest. We spent thanks giving morning playing games and looking at ad’s at my parents then after nap time we headed over to Great grandpa  and grandma Wests house and them to my aunt place for the family thanksgiving party. It was good to see everyone.

 That night we hit the stores! Mitchell took Eli to Kmart and I went to Wal-Mart with Kayden and my sister. We each got most of what we were looking for, poor Mitchell was I line for 3 hours ,no joke, they gave him a $5 dollar gift card as apology, their computers kept crashing on his order.  He got some great stuff for the kids and I got several movies and a blue-ray player. Mitchell got a TV offline on cyber Monday. Have all my shopping pretty much done now except  a book for Mitchell and stocking stuffers.   

On Friday we made our own thanksgiving at home and stuffed ourselves so full we felt like bursting, it was a wonderfully relaxing time with our little family of Four! i love the times when all the boys are playing in the living room and i am right next in the kitchen and making them something Delicious to eat!

We were able to got to lunch on Sat with an old friend of mine. Kirra Self we have not seen each other in four years, now we are both married and both have a son named Eli! It was SO good to see her she is a true friend! Mitchell and her husband Sean seemed to hit it off and the boys had fun staring at each other and sharing their color crayons. Hopefully next year we can get together again! If we ever get to Utah we will definitely try to visit them.

We set up our Christmas tree and other festive decorations to begin enjoying the Christmas season. Eli Helped decorate the tree.  I made some simple paper ornaments  Eli helped glitter them. I Began working on several projects for Christmas. I will post about them later!
