thanksgiving week family fun

Thanksgiving week was eventful for us. We had my Mom's side of the family thanksgiving dinner on Tuesday at Devin & Kristina's house. I didn't take to many photos, well I seem to have a few of people eating, but I'm not going to put half open mouths on my blog lol! I did grab one quick on of my niece Brooklyn with the puppy she kept begging to bring home all night! She was SO happy! We had a great time & it was nice to see all my extended family.



My sisters were all in Utah this year so we spent most of our time with Clint's family. We enjoyed a yummy thanksgiving dinner with them & spent the day playing games & catching up. It was nice, we missed Trevor & Whitley. I didn't take any photos on thanksgiving either. I used to be so much better. I need to get back in the habit.

On Friday I braved the crowds & kept my Mom company at our annual black Friday shop-o-thon. I was so exhausted I went out with only about 2 hours of sleep! I met up with Michelle after a couple hours to help her pick out some new furniture for her new place. She settled on a super cool couch & gorgeous crock leather ottoman/coffee table. It looks perfect in her new place.

Brad & Tyson

Elise in the middle of a smile!

Tyson wearing Grandpa's "Toro" football hat, he thinks that all hats are Toro hats & all football teams are the Toros & all touchdowns are Toro Touchdowns! It is so funny, because Meghan is not a Toro fan, but her son may be their biggest little supporter! He goes to games regularly with Grandpa & Nana!

Mike & Leanne

Saturday we celebrated Mike's birthday with bowling & dinner at Patsy Grimaldi's. It was fun! The girls didn't take the bowling very seriously though! I think we were all just worn out from the busy week. After a great dinner at Grimaldi's we went to Brad & Meghan's for cake & ice cream. We moved the party to Clint's parents afterwards for one last game of Shanghai... which I won!!! Super exciting. The Kid & Samurai better watch out!

We completed out the festivities with going to dinner with Reid & Erin. No photos again, sorry! I actually got my camera out this time, but didn't end up grabbing any. It was nice to catch up with them. We don't see them very often since they are in Colorado. Clint & Reid seem to make a Filibertos run when he comes to town, but this time we made sure Erin & I came along. It was nice spending time with them!


It's looking like December will be just as crazy as November was for us. We've got a cookie exchange coming up, a bridal shower, a wedding, tickets to see "A Christmas Carol" at Hale Centre Theater, Going to see Christmas lights at the temple, several Christmas celebrations, hopefully a Christmas concert or two & of course Christmas itself, which I wish were a week long!

Happy December!
