Thanksgiving and birthday weekend!

We had a fun, wild week. Starting with a girls lunch at Blue Lemon, it was fun and so delicious! Here's the girls having fun eating their food and playing.

The kids had school off on Wednesday and we spent the day at the Childrens museum while Danny and Taylor built a bookshelf for his room. It was a nice relaxing day.
Thursday was Thanksgiving!
We went to G & G Wall's house for the day. We spent a fun holiday with them. The dinner was so yummy. We were all so full we could hardly even eat pie. Thanks to them for having us over!

Emily made these cute pilgrims for the centerpiece. Monica had the tables set so beautiful, it was a great day. The weather was warm so the kids could play outside and get their energy out.

Friday was my 36th Birthday! It was black Friday so we hung out at home and avoided all the crowds! We went to dinner with the kids at the Habit. It was a fun time, I feel so grateful and happy to be the mother of these four adorable, special kids.
After dinner Danny and I went to the Jazz game with Dave and Monica,  to celebrate Dave's bday too. We sat on the 12th row, it was fun, even if the jazz are really bad!
Thanks for the tickets Baumans.





On saturday we did some chores around the house, decorated for Christmas a little bit, and spent some time with the Shields fam. We watched BYU/U of U football games all afternoon and then went bowling with everyone.

Everyone had a blast bowling. Especially Monica, she bowled 5 strikes and beat everyone! Apparently she is a professional bowler! Go Mono!
The kids all had fun bowling, and loved spending time with their cousins. We missed those in WA!

After bowling we headed back to G & G Shields house to eat a yummy Mexican dinner. We celebrated the birthdays of Dave, Derek and myself.
Happy birthday guys!

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving weekend and feel so grateful for all our blessings! We are looking foward to the Christmas season. December is today!!
