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!

Apple Picking on Aspen's Birthday

A couple of weeks ago we took the kids apple picking before the season was over. We should have done it earlier in the month but better late than never. The farm we went to was Date Creek Ranch and was outside of Wickenburg and about 4 miles off the freeway. It was on a dirt road which was interesting, but kind of cool once we got close to the farm. They had cows and you had to maneuver the one way road as the cows just roamed. We were the first ones at the farm that morning so we had the orchard to ourselves. The kids had fun picking apples and even got to see some pigs. Aspen inherited my sensitive gag reflex. She started gagging just due to the smell of the pigs. It was kind of funny because she had no idea what was happening. After we finished picking apples we packed up and headed to the mall on our way home to spoil Aspen at her favorite store, the Disney Store. She actually calls it the princess store. Since it was Aspen's birthday but her party wasn't until the next week, we also treated her to dinner at Freddy's. That girl was happy with some French fries and chocolate custard. She also got some presents from her Aunt and Grandma so she was definitely spoiled. It was a great Saturday.
