Thanksgiving Weekend

My family came down from Utah on Wednesday, and of course just had to have in-n-out almost immediately.

For myself and my mom, several hours on Thanksgiving day were spent in the kitchen. Let's just say, not my favorite holiday when I am the one doing a lot of the cooking and clean-up! Thanks for your help, mom! We had breakfast with some family friends and then had a wonderful Thanksgiving meal all spread out on the living room floor (we only have a table for 4 people). We went and saw Madagascar 2 later that evening and just hung around at home.

Black Friday we went shopping of course! But we didn't wake up super early, just went once we were all ready. It was lots of fun because it's my favorite thing to do! We all had lunch at Islands to celebrate birthdays for the next couple months. Then we headed over to some old family friends of my mom's to visit and go out to dinner. By then, Peyton was super tired (oh, and she was sick this whole time as well) so we headed back home while my family stayed to visit awhile longer.

Saturday called for MORE shopping, and the boys went and saw Quantum of Solace. The rest of the day was spent doing laundry and hanging out before my family left to get a head start and drive halfway home.

Sunday was a stay-at-home day for Peyton and myself, as she was still coughing and I didn't want to infect everyone at church. She was so good this whole weekend even though she was sick, there was only 1 night she didn't sleep through the night. What a trooper!
