Thanksgiving

This post is a little behind.  We have been super busy the last couple of weeks.  J is working on homework, Zuri is watching Lady and the Tramp (by request), and I am about to tackle the apartment.  Before I do, I am going to waste some---ahem, I mean, be productive--time and post a blog.

We had a Thanksgiving with J's family, and it was a nice relaxing weekend.  We ended up leaving a little earlier than we planned because of the snow storm, but we still had some good quality time with his family.

For Black Friday, Suzanne, Maria, Alisia and I all came back to Provo and got up at 2:30 am to make it to Kohl's by three.  We spent all day shopping, finally heading back down south around 4:30.  It was a lot of fun but exhausting.  The worst stores were Kohl's and Target.  We were especially impressed with Shopko, where we were in and out in under 40 minutes (with a full shopping cart, and we were one of the last ones to get into the store).  Compare that to Kohl's, where Maria stood in line for almost two hours--just in line.  We left Target empty-handed the first time we went because we were in line for twenty minutes and hadn't moved at all.  We went back a little later, though, and were still able to get everything we wanted. 

J spent the day watching the kids, and was very proud of himself when he got all three down for a nap at the same time, except Zuri didn't want to cooperate and actually take a nap.

Here are some pictures from the weekend!

 Zuri and Addilynn playing ball and watching Kung-Fu Panda.

 Zuri just loves that Nemo fish.  She wouldn't let go of it all weekend.

 Emery, Addilynn, and Zuri playing in the snow.  They were also taken on the sleds, towed by the 4-wheeler.

 After a rocky start, Zuri and Emery were playing together and having fun.
