Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was good this year. Good food, good company we even managed to do a little           pre-black Friday shopping at Walmart and got some great deals. We spent half of Thanksgiving at my parents and then the other half in Cedar City with Jake's family.

 

Playing a good old game of Pig

Addi was this pig :)

All the kids and grand kids

silly faces

 

On Friday we headed up north, we bought tickets to the Polar Express on Saturday so we went to the Thanksgiving point festival of lights on Friday night, and to the Sandy Aquarium and the Polar Express on Saturday.

 

So we got to Thanksgiving point and the computers were down so we got in for free :) that's always nice, you drive through so the girls hopped up front and we tuned our radio to their station to listen to the music and it was so much fun. After we went and visited the reindeer and got some hot cocoa.

We got some pretty cool pictures at the aquarium. Defiantly not what I was expecting, when we pulled up it looks like a supermarket turned into a aquarium. But it was still fun and the girls had a blast. Addi and Jake got to touch a shark, and I tried touching the sting ray but it freaked me out.

 

The Polar Express was fun, the girls had fun. Once we were off the elves served hot cocoa and cookies. Jaycee enjoyed her cookies if you can't tell by the picture above, she has crumbs all over her mouth. The elves passed out jokes and the kids got to read them over the intercom, we sang Christmas songs. Mrs Clause came around and passed out her secret cookie recipe. Then we picked up Santa Clause and he came around to deliver a gift to all the kids. Addi made sure that he knew her half birthday was coming up on December 1 :) so cute! Santa's gift was reindeer bells and then the elves came around and listened to your bell to tell you which reindeer it belonged to, Addi's was dancer.

 

After such a long day on Saturday we captured this picture

 

Poor thing she was exhausted!
