Thanksgiving

Wednesday night we stayed at my parents and had fun making little cookie/candy turkeys for the place settings

 Mac cruised and tore down all the decorations mom put up

Dinner was fabulous. We had a great time and Cindy and Penny's fam joined us

Mac liked the pie :) Check out that adorable face

 Black Friday supposedly starts on Thursday now. I had a few toys on my list from Toys R Us so I convinced my mom to stand in line with me at 8pm on Thursday. This was only part of the line. We were number 401 and 402 in line

 Even though its crazy, I love all the crowds and madness, and I did save $50, so I was happy

 

The next morning we still all scoured the black friday ads together and did a little more shopping

 

 We headed home Saturday but stopped at the new outlet mall and said hi to santa. Lyla was super excited before and after, but during she wouldn't even look at him or acknowledge him, it was hilarious

During nap time on Saturday we started putting up our Christmas lights. Our first year we actually got to put some up on a house. It was so much fun, I loved it, I'll have to post a picture with them all on. 

Uncle Davis

 We had a big family dinner with all the cousins and Kurt and Wendy at our house. Davis decided to drive down from Rexburg and join in the fun. I took these pictures of Lyla and him the next morning. She really loves him and they are so cute together.

First Snow

 It snowed, a lot. I loved it. There is something so magical about snow, I just love it so much. This year Lyla actually liked it too and was wanting to play in it as soon as she looked out into the backyard. So we pulled out all the snow gear and headed out

 Friday was the first day of the big snow. That night when Josh got home from work we bundled up and went sledding, in the dark. The park had lights and the reflection of the snow really lit up the hill and we had a great time.

 It was still snowing when we went so we brought the umbrella for Mac to sit under. We dont have snow pants for him yet so we used a plastic bag over his legs, ha

 The next morning. A winter wonderland. Just having the snow fill the air and streets made me incredibly happy all day.

 We played for hours. Sled down the driveway, built a snowman, caught snowflakes on our tongues and walked around in it. Can't wait for the next big snow.
