Thanksgiving Weekend 2008

Thanksgiving weekend is about to come to a close and it makes me even more excited for Christmas. (These pics are actually going from Saturday backwards.) On Thursday Kel played some flag football with some guys from the ward and I have been hearing how sore his arm is because of it all weekend! He really does enjoy it though. As he is having a gay old time, I am at home scrambling to get the kids, myself, the food and other miscellaneous things together for our 3 and a half hour trip to Oklahoma City. Kelly's Aunt Holly and Uncle Bruce live almost right next door to the temple there. It was a lot of fun and even though we traveled for 7 hours total on Thanksgiving day, it didn't really seem like it was that long. On Friday we went to McKinney's "Dickens of a Christmas." It was pretty neat. They had that one Frank Sinatra guy there from "America's Got Talent" performing. On Saturday we went to "Christmas in the Country." It is the same place that we go every year at Halloween (Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch). It wasn't nearly as big and elaborate as the Halloween one, but the kids still had fun. They had free bounce houses, sleigh rides (though I didn't see any running that night), and playground equipment. They also had a Christmas Tree lot. Unfortunately, the trees were REALLY expensive, so we ended up getting our tree at good old reliable Wal-Mart.

He didn't really like the whole dog on a leash thing!



What ever happened to the fun playground equipment where you could spin chaotically round and round until you wanted to puke your guts out?
