lately....

A FUN LITTLE VISIT.....
Last week, Lis and Ave came to spend a couple of days with me before we went home for Thanksgiving. It is always so fun to have them around. We stayed up late, shopped, and did some crafts...one of which is shown below...we love how they turned out and it was so super easy.


NEW MOON
one word....amazing!!! i seriously loved this movie (Sammy, your description nailed it right on!) My little sis rach was jumping out of her seat when Jacob came on screen, i'll admit that he was lookin pretty good, but i'm stickin with Edward. I didn't have really high expectations for the movie, because i wasn't that impressed with Twilight, but this surpassed all my expectations. loved it.

JAZZ GAME
My parents took chase and i and two of my little sisters, Syd and Rach to the Jazz game after our Thanksgiving Feast on Thursday...it was a really fun game, we hadn't been to a Jazz game for a while, so it was fun to go. Thanks mom and dad!



LAST, BUT NOT LEAST.....BLACK FRIDAY!!!
you can see what time the clock says, but unfortunetely that is not the time we woke up to go shopping...We actually drove straight from the Jazz game in Salt Lake...went to my parents house to drop of Chase and my Dad and got right back on the road to go shopping, so in reality....we never slept, the 1:52 is just the time we were pulling back out of our garage. SO EARLY, but it worked out good because we really weren't even tired since we hadn't been to bed yet....Once we met up with our shopping crew we headed to Walmart (at 2:45 a.m)....and waited there until 5 a.m.....thankfully they let us in the store to hang out until the registers opened so we weren't freezing.
I know Black Friday shopping is crazily insane, but i love it. Even if i don't need anything for myself, i think it is so fun to go watch all the other crazies....even tho i'm one of them. I did however, get some good deals this year. and had a great time!



I hope you all had a happy thanksgiving as well....and can you believe that its December...i can't. But i'm sure happy it is, i love this time of the year. enjoy it!

That looks like the perfect thanksgiving! I unfortunately was so sick over thanksgiving that I didn't get to participate in any of the fun festivities.
