Turkey Day 2008

Well another Thanksgiving has come and gone and they just keep getting better. Shelb and her family came from Boise and got to stay a whole week! It was great, so I packed me and the boys up and we went and stayed at Grandma Searle's for a week with them. Bowen and Dallas are getting much better at getting along, oh don't get me wrong they still had there share of screamin' but things were better. Addi is getting so big and is full of personality! Kyler is still the smallest and everyone just likes to snuggle with him. He turned 4 months on the 30th, so I started him on cereal, he seems to like it. Well we had a lot of fun playing games, eating, playing with the kids, and more eating... Needless to say I can't wait for my elliptical to get here so I can work off these excess pounds before Christmas :)

We had a surprise this Thanksgiving though, my mom, sisters, and I usually get up and dare to shop the early bird black Friday sales, well this year my grandpa and brother decided they were going to join us, we all thought they were kidding. They weren't, sure enough we were all ready to go and here comes grandpa and John. They were our chauffeurs to each store. They actually even came in a few stores with us. It was so much fun. I was after a TV that Tim wanted so we started at Walmart at 4:30 AM and I could not believe that they were already all gone, people waiting with their purses on top of the TV's because you could not actually buy them until 5 AM. So I was on to the next place selling them, Merlin's. John was nice enough to stand in line with me at 7:30 AM. I lucked out and was the 23rd person in line so I got a free gas card and the LAST TV. So we are now the proud owners of a 50 inch plasma!!! We shopped and shopped, can't believe it but we shopped until 3:00 PM, and as soon as we all got back in the car we were asleep! Thanks to grandma for keeping all the kids so we could go.

We also had a small combined bday party for Bowen and Dallas. Bowen's bday was yesterday and Dallas's is the 22nd of November. Shelb had the cutest idea for some cupcakes that looked like monkeys.

Over the break I also got to see my old roomates and best friends Monica, Elsha, and Sarah. I miss those girls so much so it was really good to get to go to lunch and spend a little time with them. Wish we could have hung out all day. Can't wait til Christmas so we can see each other again.

I love this time of year, only 3 more weeks and we all get to see each other again for a week!!! Can't wait!
