Thanksgiving Weekend

So the weather was surprisingly warm even though it was overcast skies.  In the morning we decided to take the kids to a playground to get some energy out before the big feast!  We had a nice Thanksgiving lunch at Gary's grandparents house with lots of family. The kids had even more fun playing with Grandpa Naylor's trains!  After that we headed back to my parents to put Sarah down and just relax.  We didn't do a Thanksgiving dinner with my family this year but it was a really nice day to just relax as a family. 

That night I did the midnight shopping at Target!  I know I am crazy but it was my first time and it actually wasn't half bad.  They had it very organized and at times felt like I was in line at Disneyland.  It took almost 30 min. to get into the store and about an hour and a half to check out.  We went through every food aisle and wove back and forth through most of the rest of the store.  I was able to get some things for Isaac and unfortunately the one toy I wanted for Sarah was gone before I even got in the store.  Good thing Target's sale was 2-days and available online so I finally was able to get in online on Saturday.  We also headed to Old Navy at 2 am but after looking at their line we said No way!  Thanks Kelly I had fun and might do it again next year!

 On Saturday, still nice weather, we decided to go up and relax at Red Butte Gardens.  The kids had so much fun running up and then rolling down the hill.  There was barely anyone there so we had most of the areas to ourselves - so nice!!!

 My cute kids in their opposing team hats.  So Grandma O. bought Isaac a Y hat at one of the football games, so of course Grandma L had to go and buy a U hat.  The funniest thing was when he brought the red hat home he said, "Look mom, grandma bought me a BYU hat"  It is so funny because they don't even get the rivalry.

 Okay ignore this terrible picture of me.  So while trying to get the kids to come and sit down Sarah ran over towards the cactii  plants.  Gary jumped over one of the plants to grab Sarah so she didn't touch it.  Unfortunately his foot got pricked by the grizzly cactus plant.  When we got home I had to pull the pricker out of his foot.  It had hooked into his skin so well it took me two tries to pull hard enough.  Things parents do for their kids!
