Thanksgiving Weekend Continued

The rest of the weekend

Day Five ~ Sunday

No pictures today either. :(

After a very sleepless night we were thankful that we were in Ogden to take Ella to the pediatrician's office where she was diagnosed with croup. Remember I was just thankful for healthy kids? Guess my luck ran out.

The boys got to help Grandma decorate her tree and we got to go spend some time with Grandma Joyce. :)

Day Four ~ Saturday

The boys have been waiting for today! Tonight we went to Ballet West's Nutcracker Ballet. They have never been to the Nutcracker but have been counting down with anticipation. Parker had no idea what he was in for!

We started the night off with dinner at Cafe Rio

As we were standing in line we realized the first time we went there Parker had to be held up to the see the tortillas cooking. He's getting so big!

Yummy food!

Waiting for the show to start

And since there's no cameras allowed during the ballet I borrowed one. The best part was Parker's commentary.

Parker: "Are those real kids?"

Dad: "Yes."

Parker: "If I stand up will they make me stay standing the whole time?"

Mom: (trying hard not to laugh) "No."

We had a long talk on the way to the ballet about appropriate etiquette which included why we dress nice, no talking and staying in our seats.

The second Act was especially painful for Parker. In between wiping his face on my jacket, patting us, laying on our laps, putting his feet on us and hanging upside down in his chair he asked,

"Dad what are those?"

Dad: "Sugar Plum Fairies"

Parker with a giant roll of his eyes: "Well when are one of those Sugar Plum Fairies going to kill another mouse?!!"

Day Three ~ Friday

I have no pictures of today because there was no time! I shopped til I dropped!

My Mom, Nat and I left for Walmart at 2:30 a.m.

Then ShopKo

Then I went to:

Gymboree

Sears

Sports Authority

JoAnn's

And after realizing it would be at least 2 more hours until they could cut my fabric after I had already waited 1 hour I threw in the towel. :(

Then 2 Famous Footwear's

Hallmark

Walmart again

I haven't been that tired in a long time!
