Trying to catch up!

In this post I'm going to attempt to catch up to what we are currently doing! Here goes, the weekend before thanksgiving my cousin Josh and his wife Jessica and family came down to spend Thanksgiving with Jessica's family. They stoped by my parents house to spend a few days. They have three adorable children. The oldest is Joni, and then they have twins Dalian and Hannah. The twins are 10 months old, look at Matthew, he's the same size and he was only 5 months at the time!!

Next came Thanksgiving, unfortunately Rick had to work :( so Matthew and I spent the day at my parents home. My parents were hosting Thanksgiving for my Dad's side of the family this year so everyone came to their house. My cousin Candice was there with her husband and their son Ryley who is just a month older than Matthew, so that was fun! After Rick came home from work our friends Eric and Kimi came over and we all played some fun games. All together our Thanksgiving was lots of fun!!

The day after Thanksgiving, "Black Friday" Merrie, Matthew and I went Shopping. We didn't get up early tho, I think we went around 11am. We went to Target and the East Hills Mall. It wasn't that eventful so I don't have much to say. Except that Matthew looks soo cute in his new jacket!!



Then the Saturday after Thanksgiving we left to visit Rick's Mom in Northern California, she lives in a small town called Magalia it's close to Chico. Rick had to work Saturday so we left after 7pm. I'm glad we left so late because Matthew slept the entire way up. We had alot of fun while we where there! We stayed until Wednesday of the following week. Unfortunately Matthew did not sleep the entire way back, but he did really well! He didn't start crying until we were within 20 miles of Bakersfield, but he cried for the entire 20 miles! I didn't take very many pictures but here's a couple of Matthew with his Grandma.



Rick's Birthday was on the ninth, the Sunday before we had Family Home Evening with Rick's family and they celebrated his Birthday then. On the ninth I had my parents and a few friends over for cake and ice cream. His Birthday really snuck up on us so we really didn't plan anything, I just threw a party together. All in all it was really fun we served burgers had cake and played games. Rick took this picture of himself so that's why it looks weird.

Last night we went to the Holiday lights at CALM. It was alot of fun, but it was really cold. I think the only person who stayed warm was Matthew because he was so bundled up. The lights were really pretty! They had a train ride and a carousel. We took Merrie and Cameron with us and met Eric and Kimi there. Matthew got to sit with Santa. It was alot of fun!

So now I'm all caught up, yay!!
