Oh Christmas Tree






Yum, Leatherby's!

Today we went to Leatherby's with Kevin and Betsy (with Gavin and Jenni) and also my dad.  Kevin's little family was down from Logan for Thanksgiving and they wanted to go to Leatherby's before they went back home AND it is Betsy's birthday today and she really likes to get ice cream at Leatherby's.  While we were there Santa and his wife were also having some yummy ice cream and before he left he walked around the restaurant and talked to all the kids.  It was really sweet of him.  I didn't think to take a picture until he was already leaving our table, but lucky for me Betsy got a couple pictures for me.
Before we got ice cream we went and walked around Walmart to see what they had with their Black Friday deals.  We picked up the kids some jammies and slipper socks, so that was fun.
After ice cream we went to Sam's Club for milk and a few other items before going back home to watch Finding Dory.  We rented that and a couple other movies while we were at Walmart.  Now it's time to put the kids to bed...such a good time of day!

Thanksgiving Fun

This year we had Thanksgiving dinner with my parents.  Technically it was a Steenblik year, but Lloyd and Margie went to Disneyland with Suzanne's family so we ate with my family.
It was pretty low key with just Kevin's family and us with my parents.  The food was good and we all had a good time.
After we ate we had a good time riding the four wheeler in the snow.  The kids love going fast and it is always lots of fun.  It is hard to believe that it is already Thanksgiving and soon will be Christmas.  Time keeps going by way too quick!!!




Family Movie Night

We decided to see if Allie was old enough to sit through a movie and we took the family to see the Trolls movie.  They didn't have a poster for Trolls so we took pictures with the Muana movie posters.
Allie did really good for most of the movie.  She sat their nicely and laughed and got excited on parts.  It was actually quite adorable.  The other kids did good too.  Megan and Allie got restless by the end, but they all liked the show.  It was a cute show and we all had a great time together as a whole family at the movies!
I am excited that I can now go with the family to the movies and not just stay home with Allie.  What an exciting time for our family.  It's the small things that makes life wonderful!
