Happy Thanksgiving / Merry Christmas

This one is a bigger post I am throwing in November and December. Thanksgiving this year was the away year for the family. All my siblings go to there in-laws on the off year. Me and James don't really have a holiday schedule for the kids we just do whatever works. So the kids went to both houses.

                                                  Me and the munchkins on Thanksgiving.

Every year my family has been going down town to look at the temple lights and then go out to dinner just the adults. Its nice not having to chase kids around and just enjoy it.

I loved this fountain it did a light show and had fire coming out in the middle. It was pretty cool.


I'm so happy we got a lot of snow this year we have hardly seen any for a couple years and it was about time we got a lot. The kids enjoyed it too and said that it was sent just in time so Santa could drive his sleigh.

Its kind of dark and blurry but they were running around in it.

Christmas Eve we had our family party. We have dinner play games open some presents. My mom always has the grand kids act out the nativity scene while she reads the birth of Jesus. We took a picture with all the grandkids there are 19. Our family is getting big.

 After the party I had the boys open there Christmas pjs and put some milk and cookies out for Santa. Then I told them I tracked santa on my phone it said he was getting close. So they literally ran to bed even Isaiah. That was the fastest I have seen them fall asleep.

 

I didn't get a lot of photos because I was recording it instead. Santa was pretty nice this year and got them what they asked for and then some. From movies to wii games, dinosaurs, legos, remote control monster trucks.  Noah got the ninja turtle set and Elijah got the Avengers set of action figures. They loved them.

After all the craziness of opening presents they played with there stuff all day. I spent my day putting toys and legos together I was pretty wore out by night time. It was a really good Christmas this year and I loved watching there excitement.
