Christmas Lights

Friday night Justin's Aunt and Uncle came into town. We all got together and had dinner at Justin's parents house. I love going over to their house but especially during CHRISTMAS TIME. One of the streets in their neighborhood decorates the WHOLE street. I absolutely love it. I look forward every year to walking down and seeing all the lights. Here are the grand kids Lyvi, Jacob, and Luke.

Not the best picture of me. I have major sleepy eyes. Justin and I were up the night before shopping at Arizona Mills from 12-4 am. buts that a whole another story:)

Justin and Lyvi! She is just like me. Loves to go look at Christmas lights.

Next stop Temple Light's! YAHOO!!!

My favorite!

Gilbert Day Parade!

Ever since I can remember my family and I every year go to the Gilbert Day Parade. It is pretty much my favorite day of the year. This was Justin and Lyvi 's first time going. They both LOVED IT mostly Lyvi.

We kind of have a big family couldn't really fit everyone in the picture sorry guys.

One of my favorite part's of the parade is when the High School Band's come by and the nieces and nephews start dancing in the street. GOSH! Where are there parents?

After the Parade we had lunch at my Parents house. Papa gave some pony rides.

Lyvi really enjoyed riding Snoopy. I didnt think she would. I'm convinced that she will do anything, as long as she is out side.

She then noticed Kenzie didn' t like it so she too started crying.

Blake too wasn t sure he wanted to ride Snoopy but soon as he got on he was riding like a PRO! I think he felt like he was in the parade.

Papa also let Justin go on a pony ride. Here he is riding Sugar.

I can't wait till the next Gilbert Day Parade!

Family Time

Last night we had Family Night at Justin's parents house. We had Thanksgiving dinner early because Justin's dad isn't going to be with us on Thanksgiving. It was really yummy! After our family home evening lesson the Grandparents read some books to the grandkids including Lyvi's favorite book Fancy Nancy (okay so its my favorite book). I felt bad for the nephews who had to listen to such a girly girl book.

Please excuse Lyvi she doesn't have her bow on. She was all ready for bed:). Today there was no school so my sisters and I took all the kids to the park. We had lunch and did some girl talk. I can't wait till Lyvi is old enough to keep up with the cousin but for now she loves just being in the swing.

When my nephew Mason goes to the park he always brings his skateboard. He loves to try and sit on the skateboard and go down the slide. It was so fun to watch him and his Brother Riley try and stay on the board.

One of the cousins had an idea to make a train and go down the slide on the skateboard. They kept trying over and over. It was so FUNNY! All I have to say is thank goodness for no school days!
