We had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! It started the Sunday before when Jaime's kids came to stay at my parents house and they were able to help our Primary in the Primary Program. {By the way our Primary Program turned out great! My kids did a great job, I love that Olivia had no fear for her first year. I was so proud of our Primary, they worked hard and their outcome was amazing. The song, "I know my Savior loves me." Is amazing, it really hits that spiritually spot!}
Back to the Holidays. Monday the kids enjoyed swimming with cousins and friends. Tuesday was the supposed to be the "big blizzard", to be honest they way they talked they made it sound like we were going to be buried in snow. Everyone was frantic, the actual town was crazy, but the storm came and gone and I don't even think we got over an 1inch of snow. It was cold and windy, but the snow was not bad at all! That night was pretty laid back, but enjoyed because the kids loved being together. Wednesday Jaime, Molly, me, and the 7 kids went to see Tangled. We loved it! It was a darling movie, I can't wait for it to come out on DVD. Payton was a charm, he slept through the whole thing!
Thanksgiving day was wonderful, cold, relaxing, and delicious! It is always such a relaxing time spending it at my parents house. The kids do their thing while us adults sit back talk and relax. Nana also had some crafts for the kids to do. I think Thanksgiving always flies by, but it was a day to remember!

Cute, cute girls!
He is so dang cute, we could just eat him alive!
Payteroo's 1st Thanksgiving. He is hard to know what to feed. He gags on a lot of things. He was enjoying the jello salad and then shortly before everyone was done eating he started throwing up a ton. He certainly knows how to clear a table. Everyone was done in a hurry after watching him!
Olivia's plate before we started eating.
After Thanksgiving Dinner. He was getting all rested up for his first big "black friday" shopping!
Roonie-cakes napping with Nana
Nana had them do some cute crafts. They made little snowman and decorated Christmas trees. It is always a good laugh when we have Aunt Jaime help out!
The Finished Product!

Black Friday or should I say Black Thursday night! So I finally talked Carson into coming with me this year. There were just somethings that needed to be bought. Carson thought maybe it would be worth it to pay full price, but I am proud to say that most everything purchased was about 1/2 off! So the plan was to go stand in line for few things before the big midnight sale. We got there at 9:40pm! And then after the toy sale we would go stand in line for the electronics for the 5 am sale. Carson really wasn't too sure about my plan at all! About 11 o'clock Jaime and Jayson were headed down to stand in line with us called me and let me know that Marcus was getting sick and wanted us to come get him. So after the midnight sale Carson was able to go home with Jaime and Jayson, he totally lucked out! We gave him a hard time and said that he told Marcus to act sick so he would get to come home, hehe!!!! I thought it was going to be a long night, but my sweet cousin Mandee and her also sweet husband Johnny and three of my cousins stood in line with me so it really wasn't too bad. We got what we needed at Walmart, while my Grandma Simmons went to Shopko and got what we needed there. All in all it was a very successful, money saving day. I felt like I got hit by a truck, but it was well worth it. Will I do that every year? It will just depend on what is on sale!!!
