We had a fun but extremely busy few days over Thanksgiving Break. We started out by driving up to Landon's parents house Wednesday afternoon. The kids were so excited to finally be on their way to Grandmas and to be out of school for a few days.
Thursday morning we headed up the canyon to get our Christmas Tree. We didn't think there was any snow up there but soon found out there was and not only that but that the roads were a little bit slick and muddy. We did get stuck but just for a minute before Landon was able to get us out of it. And we managed to find the perfect little tree.
Then it was time to get ready for dinner. We went over to Landon's Grandmas along with his parents, his aunt Tess and her family, and all of his siblings and their families. It was a big gathering with lots of fun catching up. Bryce sporting his turkey shirt...
After dinner was over it was time for Chloe and I to hit the road-we needed to get back to St. George for her soccer tournament the next day. I don't see well at night so we left in just enough time I wouldn't have to drive after dark. We also took Saydee and Kylie back with us as we planned to do a little Black Friday shopping starting that night when we got back into town. We got into town about 6 o'clock and started our shopping. We shopped until about 10 then it was time for a late night snack from the waffle truck. Then home and in bed by about 11. We slept for a few hours, until about 2 am to be exact, and then got up and headed out again. After our next bit of shopping we got back home at about 3-but none of us could ever go back to sleep so we went out again at 5-haha. When we had finally had enough it was time for Chloe to start playing soccer.
Her team won their first game-woot woot.
After the first game we went out to Great-Grandma's house for a lunch of Thanksgiving leftovers-I took a nap and the girls put a movie in to watch-when I went to check on them awhile later they were both zonked out. I felt kind of bad that I had to wake them up to head to Chloe's second soccer game of the day. They tied that game. After the second game we grabbed a pizza, went home, got in our jammies, and crashed for the night.
The next morning we got up for another soccer game-Chloe's team ended up losing and that loss caused them to not make it to the championship round (before that they had been in first place). So we packed up an headed back to Fillmore.
Meanwhile while we were down in St. George the boys were up in Fillmore. Bryce ended up getting sick Thursday night and threw up all night and most of the day Friday. In between his not feeling well Landon would take him over to see uncle Layne's baby horse "Cinch"-he absolutely loved it and would ask to go see him several times a day. They would also have to drive by any sheep or cows they could spot while they were out. Bryce had lots of fun being on the farm despite the fact he wasn't feeling all to well. Landon spent his extra time, when he wasn't taking care of a sick boy, helping his mom with some home repairs. Tanner spent his time playing with and tormenting all of his cousins. He also got to go to the movie one night with Grandma and several of the cousins.
Chloe and I were happy to get back to Fillmore pretty early Saturday afternoon. When we dropped Saydee off we spent a few minutes snuggling Hanxton.
Later that night back down in Flowell the kids got to decorate Christmas cookies.
It was a fun couple of days-sad to see it end-but happy to get back home and set up the Christmas tree and start to get ready for Christmas.
