Weekend in Review

Last Weekend I had an extra day off and it was a nice way to ease into the new year. On Friday my sister invited us to the special needs story time at our local library. It was good because Everly needed new books and no one else was at the story time so the kids got to go a little crazy. After the library we took the kids to Costco for lunch because I had to grab a few things anyways. On Saturday morning we started the day with a home depot trip. The kids made a little calendar which was kind of a pain to build but turned out okay. Later that morning Everly had a soccer game so we all went and it was fun. She did pretty good and had fun. On Sunday we had a pretty uneventful day but we did go over to my sister's house for dinner. Everly helped make pizza soup from her Kidstir box. It was actually pretty tasty!

Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a great and long Thanksgiving weekend. It started Wednesday night when we took the girls to go see Coco. It was very cute and not horrible to watch as an adult either. The girls love popcorn and movies so it was a success. On Thursday morning I ran 5 miles with my sisters before we had our Thanksgiving breakfast. After breakfast we headed up to Anthem for the kids 1/2 mile turkey trot. They did great. Ted even fell and got right back up. We got in some park time before heading back home. Thursday evening we went back to my sister's for dinner. My mom cooked the turkey upside down but other than that it was good. After dinner my mom and sister and I went to a couple of stores for some shopping, but nothing crazy. Friday was the real deal. I picked up my sister to start shopping before 5 AM. My mom met us up a little later with Nora. We spent the morning shopping and got a lot of great deals. Saturday morning my sister and I did a 3 mile trail run before taking the kids to the Home Depot workshop. It was a cute Christmas tree ornament project. Later that afternoon Justin and Doug took Everly and Teddy for an overnight camping trip. They had fun and he made a little video so I will post that tomorrow. While they were gone, Aspen and I went to dinner with my mom and sister and picked up some craft supplies at Michael's. We had fun. Sunday we put up the rest of the Christmas decorations before going to my sister's for dinner. It was a good long holiday weekend with lots to be Thankful for!
