Happy Thanksgiving and Black Friday

We hope that everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving. We had a great day! We are so thankful for so many blessings that we have in our lives. We even had family pictures on Thanksgiving and they went very well. We had Thanksgiving at my Grandma Johnson's and is was a lot of fun! The food was delicious! We also had fun looking at the ad's for black Friday. We had decided to shop online this year for black Friday. I waited until midnight and was able to get a door buster item online at midnight. I am not going to tell what the item is, but to get the same deal online as I would of at 4:00 am at the store is GREAT! I woke up at 6:00 am and checked the internet for some deals and I didn't really find anything that caught my eye. We decided that we really didn't need anything this year and the one item that we bought at midnight was the most important thing and we already purchased it. When I woke up at 9:00, Nolan said let's go to Salt Lake and shop. The night before we had gone through the ads and looked to see what items we needed for Christmas. They were all door busters and we decided not to head in this year. On the way into Salt Lake we looked through the ads again to see where the door buster items were located. Low and behold we were able to get every door buster that we had planned to get. We got all the same deals and we had the luxury of sleeping in. We shopped all day and when I say we I mean, Nolan, Baylin, and Peyton. Yes, we took our kids on the biggest shopping day of the year. They were so good!!! We went from store to store to store and they were awesome!!! We had such a good black Friday shopping day. I am going to say that we didn't need any BIG electronics or furniture this year so shopping online and waiting until 9:00 am to shop in the stores worked for us! We hope that everyone has had a great holiday. We sure did!

Carrie Underwood Concert

Nolan and I had a date night on Wednesday and we went to the Carrie Underwood concert. It was a lot of fun. We were in a huge traffic jam trying to get there so we missed a little bit of the opening act which was Little Big Town, but we finally made it and it was a great evening. Little Big Town was great as well. We really like that group and we were excited that they opened for Carrie Underwood!!!

Sick Little Baylin

Baylin is sick today, so I stayed home from school with her. She is all congested and when she coughs it sounds like a bark. I feel so bad for her. She can hardly talk. I am going to take her to the doctor today to see if we can get her on an antibiotic. I hate when my kids are sick. I feel so helpless. I hope she gets better soon. We are going to enjoy a nice day at home together. I think it is a much needed break for Baylin and myself.

Disney On Ice: 100 Years of Magic

On Wednesday night, Baylin, Jackson, Nolan, my Mom, and my Grandma Hutchins all went to Disney on Ice. It was so much fun! The show was spectacular!!! I am sorry that there aren't any pictures of us at the event but I forgot my camera and my Mom's camera had dead batteries. It made me feel like a kid again. It was so much fun to watch how happy and excited Jackson and Baylin were. We didn't take Peyton with us, he stayed with Marissa and Katelyn, I think it would have been to loud for him. Thanks Katelyn and Marissa for watching him!!!

More Halloween Pictures

Here are the rest of the Halloween pictures I said I would post.

Happy Halloween

We had such a fun Halloween day and night! We pretty much partied all day and night! Baylin and Peyton had a party at school that lasted the entire morning. Baylin was lucky and got to wear 2 Halloween costumes this year. She was a dancer at her school party and when we went trick-or-treating she was a cheerleader. I thought she looked adorable! Peyton was a puppy do and he even left the head part on all evening. He was such a trooper. He was a cute puppy! He even said "puppy" plain as day over and over. He is getting quite the vocabulary. We took Jackson trick-or-treating with us and he was a Star Wars character. He looked great!!! We hope that everyone had a great Halloween! I have looked at a lot of blogs this morning and it is fun to see what everyone dressed up as and did on Halloween. I love Halloween!!! My Mom has more pictures on her camera, so I will post them when I get them from her.

Primary Program

Baylin is a Sunbeam and that means she is a "first timer" in the primary program. It was last Sunday and she did such a good job on her part. She had it memorized and I was a little surprised that she remembered it when she actually had to do it in front of the whole congregation. She is getting so big! I can hardly believe it!!!
