We decided to make the 12 hour drive on over to Texas to spend Thanksgiving with Pete and Shellie and meet little miss Lilly. It was a long, very long drive but we made it!
Ryker was loving that we turned him around for this trip. He thought he was such a cool little dude. He also was loving all the snacks/treats he got to eat. They were our saving grace. Now every time we get in the car he says "snack" or "show" over and over again. Poor kid doesn't understand that all of that was special for the long road trip.
We had a great night at the park.
On Thanksgiving I had Brady bring the camera down into the kitchen so we would make sure to get pictures. Ummm... yeah that still didn't happen. Oops!
Ryker will be best friends with anyone willing to read him stories.
At least we managed to get one picture with all the kiddies.
Jon and Uncle Brady are best buddies. They love playing the Wii together and Jon is really good at teaching Brady new games on the i Touch.
We had such a blast. I love that we were able to spend Thanksgiving with family and meet our newest niece.Thanks for having us.
Oh and I can't forget to tell ya'll about our Black Friday shopping experience. Brady, Shellie, and I left at 11pm to get in line at Target for the midnight opening. It was cold and a VERY long line but we waited. Once we finally got in Brady was a champ and waited in a new line for 2 more hours to get our new camera. I say it was worth it but I'm not sure if he does {maybe once I learn how to use it he will be happier about it}. While Brady stayed in line Shellie and I headed over to Kohls {Never again will we do Black Friday shopping there - SO NOT worth it}. We found our things and waited in line to check out for 2 1/2 hours. We did not get home until 5am. Mind you this is after Shellie had works the night before 7pm - 7am and we had driven 13 hours and arrived to Texas at 2am and then cooked Thanksgiving dinner, went on a run, and took care of kids. Needless to say we were VERY sleepy come Friday and didn't do much until the evening other than sleep. Thanks Pete for staying home with the sleeping kids and getting up with all 5 of them bight and early that morning so the rest of us could get some sleep. Oh the CRAZY things we will do to save a few $$$. I just might be over all of the crazyness of this shopping day.
We are thankful for our family, good health, food, a warm home, the gospel, a living prophet- Thomas S. Monson, The Book of Mormon, the Temple, eternal families, love, good cars, giggles, games, Blue Bell ice cream, books, movies, skype, the internet, school, air planes {I really dislike road trips}, cell phones, blogs, digital cameras, friends, my running buddy, my jogger, and snuggles in front of the Christmas tree.
