Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We had such a crazy, but fun week. I love having my kids home and spending time together. We went to the drive in movie and saw Coco which included the new Frozen short. Then the littles fell asleep and the boys and us adults watched Justice League. Two very good movies and we had a great night!
For Thanksgving day we celebrated at Grammy Vicki's and Grandpa Jeff's house. They warmed up the pool for everyone and the kids had a blast. Only in Vegas are we swimming on Thanksgiving. As we were leaving to get shopping Benjamin jumped and tripped and busted his shin open. Our Dr. friends said he needed some stitches so it would scar better. They were unavailable though as were all of the urgent cares closed! I was a mess and stressed out and luckily Jake's cousins saved the day. We headed over there where they stitched him up with no pain meds or numbing anything. The needle was also so dull we watched it pull the skin... EEK!!!! Benjamin is a trooper and I'm so proud of him, the day before he got a concussion at basketball practice so my poor kid had quite the week. He joined Kyler, Grandma Deedee and me black Friday shopping all night long! We scored on quite a few little items.
The Next day we went to Mt. Charleston for the day and met Uncle Jeff and Umi. We helped set up camp, had lunch and played some games. We were not prepared to spend the night, our older three kids sure were ready to though. So Navy and I headed home as the temperatures dropped while we left the rest of them for the night.
The next morning I woke up at 5 am and met Deedee and Emylee at Best Buy to help Santa. We totally scored with being the first in line! Then the next morning Tara, Emylee, and I headed to ToysRus to help out Santa again. Again we completely scored being the first in line at 5am and got 1 of 1 items and 2 of 2 of another item we were waiting for. WHAT?!?!?! We totally scored! I love happy faces. We did lots of black Friday shopping that weekend and got so much done.
Sunday we had Thanksgving dinner with 4/5 of Jake's siblings. We had a great day with yummy food and cousins playing. They love Uncle Jeff's with the zipline and game room and all the yard. Thank you Deedee for cooking for all of us and all of our memories.
