Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was very different this year. It was the first Thanksgiving without my family, and without the girls. The girls went to Boise to see their grandparents, and Chad and I went to St George with his family. I was having a hard time, and feeling pretty sad about the weekend, so Chad decided to surprise me with a night in Vegas! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with his family and then that night at 11pm, his mom, sisters and I headed to the outlets! We shopped til 3am then head home for a little sleep. At 8am Courtney and I headed out for some more shopping!!!

Then Chad and I headed to Vegas around 2. I was a zombie, and felt bad since this was supposed to be our night of fun in Vegas! I could barely stay awake, but managed to stay out til midnight. We had a delicious fancy dinner (I got my favorite-lobster!) and then went to see The Blue Man Group. We went back to the Hotel and crashed, and tried to sleep in, but there was a crying baby next door-seriously!? Then we went to the Vegas airport to pick up the girls! It was so good to see them and have them back.

We then met all of his family at Mandalay Bay Hotel for Lion King! We debated about whether to take Taylor or not because she is so young, but we are glad we took her! She LOVED it! She loved sitting in her own chair, with her snacks, watching the show. She clapped with everyone, laughed and danced. This girl loves entertainment! Then it was the drive back to St George.

Sunday we woke up and hung out for a little bit, then got on the road to deal with holiday traffic. Chad took Katelyn to play tennis and she loved it! She loves to play tennis with Chad, and she is picking up on it really well! I tagged along to take some pictures. Chad is great at teaching her-she listens to him and is patient with him. There is no way I could teach her-she does not like listening to me:)

We are now home safe and sound and it's good to be back! Time to get ready for Christmas!
