The rest of the weekend went like this...

...fun and relaxing (but went by way too fast)!

Friday night we went to the Idaho Botanical Gardens. It was so fun to walk around and see all the lights. It was beautiful! At the end of the night Grandma found some cool glasses for the kids. When you put them on to look at the lights it turned the lights into different shapes. We had stars, snowmen, santas, star of david's, and snowflakes. They were so cool!

Saturday Colleen coordinated a girls spa day at Grandma's house. We did our toenails and got our hair done. It was fun and I really like doing my neices hair. My nephews came too but didn't want their hair done or toes painted!

All too soon it was time to head out. We went to say goodbye to everyone and do hairdos for church. We took too long packing and getting air in the tires of my car so we didn't have time to do hair at Brian and Lucy's house. So sorry girls!

The kids also tried stalling to keep us there longer ( so cute but heartbreaking at the same time!)

We will be back in just a few weeks for Christmas!

Thanksgiving Boise Style!

Colleen and I had a great Thanksgiving being able to drive home for the weekend! I cannot remember the last Thanksgiving that I got to go home for.

We had a great time with family and the dinner was Marvelous! Thanks Mom for feeding us so much and so well! This year was a million and ten times better than last year's meal at Del Taco!

The table set up... The Bird getting carved...

Before it was time to go to dinner we took a walk to the park and played a little bit to work up an appetite!

After dinner, we took a nice walk around the neighborhood.

We also played with blocks.

Then it was time for dessert!

What a great way to spend time remembering what we are thankful for and spending time with so many of them!
