This year we spent Thanksgiving day with Brett's sister Lennette and her family. Since it was only going to be our two families getting together, we decided we might as well be cozy, warm, and comfortable while stuffing our bellies as full as they would go. So we decided it would be fun to have a "pajama Thanksgiving". We had a lot of fun. The kids were warm and comfortable and we could all just lounge afterwards and hang out. Rylee is always so excited to see Savanah & Cruz. She just adores Savanah so much and loves having Cruz chase them around and tease them. This was Dax's 1st Thanksgiving! I let him try some mashed potatoes, yams, and even a little taste of chocolate cream pie. He loved it all. That was actually the first food he had tasted besides baby food.
Dax helping Aunt Lenny & Cruz find the best deals for "black friday".
After we all stuffed our bellies, Lennette offered to watch the kids while we catch a movie. So we went and watched Twilight: New Moon while Rylee and Dax stayed with Aunt Lenny, Uncle Sam, Cruz & Savanah and played. It was such a nice break for Brett and I since we rarely ever get a chance to do those kinds of things.
Afterwards, we just hung out, played, and watched Four Christmases. The next morning I opted out of any and all black friday shopping madness, which was nice for a change. Around noon we packed up and headed home.
On Saturday we took the kids to see Santa in Richfield. It actually was not planned. We went over to do some shopping and saw Santa. Of course Rylee was way excited to see him and wanted to go sit on his lap. Even Dax sat on his lap without crying. I should have taken a picture with both of them together, but didn't.
It was nice having Brett home for a 4 day weekend. We went for a ride in the mountains on Sunday. Brett and Rylee got out a few times and played in the snow while Dax and I watched from the warm truck. Rylee loves playing in the snow. There was one incident where Rylee was running down a hill and the snow was so deep she took a face dive right into the freezing snow. She was a little upset after that....but it only lasted 5 minutes and she was ready for more ice cold snow.
We had to get a quick one with Dax in it...
But here is where Dax and I spent the rest of the time....
And afterwards, everyone was exhausted. Brett and Rylee layed in front of the heater to thaw themselves out, and they zonked. Dax must have also been exhausted cause he fell fast asleep in his swing-thank goodness for buckles!
