We held a weekly dinner with our amazing friends, our kids do gymnastics together right up the street and so it just kind of worked out that we would do dinner each week together.  I cook and they they bring food.  It has been so fun to see them every week! Do you know how much fun it is to take a selfie with a friend.  We laugh so hard cause we stink so bad at it!

It was mommy-daughter date time again.  Lyvi picked going to Olive Garden {it's pretty much a given and we have gone here for many years on our dates!} She loves to eat ice-cream.  I like the soup and we both love the breadsticks!

Made this cute sign...

Try to have the grandparents and my brothers over as much as possible.  We love playing card games!

{Well most of us do...}

Had to get a date in with my Chloe.  We went to Menchie's for yogurt and then to the pet store.  It is a good thing we are renting cause we both fell in love with this little runt, and the other dogs were not very nice so I really wanted to buy it and bring it home.  She was only a little sad they had no kittens to hold.

We do FHE almost every monday and it always begins with a song.  Chloe loves to lead and have us sing loud if her arm is high and soft if it is low... She loves loves loves it!

We feel so grateful to be in Saint George with all our family so close by. Papa and Nannie come visit us and my kids love it sooo much!  Carter just adores his papa. Look at that face!

The boys still get into a lot of trouble.  One morning they thought it would be fun to pour all the raisin bran into the dump truck... I mean that does sound pretty fun and the stuff does look like dirt so I wasn't too mad.. but seriously we go through way too much cereal and we aren't even eating it!

My neighbor/friend saw that I was having a little bit of a crazy day so she dropped off a box of life cereal.  I seriously love my neighborhood!

We met cousins at the park... {I didn't get a picture of the cousins}

I let the girls invite a friend over.  We ordered pizza and had hot chocolate and they watched "Elf"  they had lots of fun!

Thanksgiving day we went to Tom's parents and had a yummy meal and the kids had lots of fun hanging out with their cousins.  Also we found out Zac and Jilyn are having a baby girl which was exciting. 

My great SIL's

Crew loved the pie!

The older kids went on a hike. And so Carter decided that he wanted to join so somehow {we still aren't sure} and we couldn't find him for 10 min. He had figured out how to climb up the mountain and my SIL found him.  It was very scary! 

I loved this!

Tom and I went to Target on black friday it was pretty awesome cause I went in for 2 things I wanted but they didn't have it {I kind of figured since it was 4 hours after opening}, all the sudden I saw it sitting on an end cap. It was awesome. And then as I was checking out the other thing I went in for, there was an extra on the register.  It was sooo sweet.  We then stood in the electronics line behind one person, as everyone stood in a line wrapping around the store.  I seriously have no idea how we got so lucky. It was awesome!!  We were in and out of 3 stores in an hour. 

And our annual tradition we went and saw a movie. We went to big hero 6. We decided to attempt at taking the boys and they actually did pretty good.  It was fun!

More cousin time with Miles...

And 50's day at the school for Chloe.

Need a good workout this one is awesome.  

Start at 1, then do 2 then back to 1, then 3, 2, 1, then 4, 3, 2, 1, etc...

And our thanksgiving tradition of writing out everything we are grateful for.
