Our Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we spent it with Bens Mom in Ogden, Utah and it was so fun. We were so excited to get out of town and spend time with our wonderful families. We laughed, played games, ate food, ben went rabbit hunting with his Stepdad and brothers and us girls got to enjoy some chaotic Black Friday shopping and playing with Aniston, oh and we ate some more. We are so blessed with such great families and the best part is it keeps growing and growing. I am so grateful for my family and my in-laws. I was so lucky to have married such a wonderful, loving husband who blessed me with a wonderful daughter and not just one but two families who I love so much. Thanks Angie and Claire for such a good time and for all your hospitality. Thanks also to Bens dad Kurt and his wife Chris for dinner and games, we had so much fun. We are so grateful for the love and support that we get from all our friends and family. I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!

Us enjoying our First Thanksgiving together

Aniston has started to grab things, so its a whole new world for her
This was hilarious!! Aniston was not feeling to well last week and lets just say this was her first solid diaper she had and presented it to us at the dinner table.

Angie and Claire cooked an amazing dinner

the turkey was delicious

Us girls before we left for Black Friday shopping

So we are crazy but not crazy enough to go sit in lines for hours and hours. Maybe if we were after the major doorbuster deals but we just wanted to go in and look around, but we did learn something, do not act like you are going to push through the doors or else a guy with a leather jacket will be all over you. haha The employees came out and held hands so that no one would cut in line and my mother in law may have shouted red rover, red rover haha did i mention were crazy!

The trash was overloaded with hot chocolate and coffee
We ended at target, where we ended up finding everything but the line was so long to get to the register that it went clear to the back of the store and weaved in out of every single grocery isle at the Super Target, we were pretty tired by the time we left!

We are slowly converting to the crib

So we were very blessed with a wonderful, beautiful and seriously the best baby newly parents could ask for!! She hardly ever cries, only when she is tired or hungry but who wouldn't do that, and she started sleeping through the night at 7 weeks! A big help to her sleeping through the night was her swing, which has been a lifesaver but we were worried that she wouldn't sleep well in her crib when she grew out of the swing. So in order to make a nice transition we started having her take naps in her crib during the day and guess what she loves it to!!

Anistons favorite swing

She loves her elmo

We are ready for Winter

 Last weekend we had a blizzard and we decided we better get ready for winter!
Me and my snow bunny

This was our best try at getting a picture all together
Shes all ready to go!!

Halloween

This year for Halloween we had a few friends over for a steak dinner and games. We had so much fun and for Anistons first Halloween we dressed her up as a cute little bunny. Halloween came a little to fast for us and we didnt realize that it was this last weekend so when we got home from California, we had to think fast. So we got Aniston's costume but ran out of time to get something for us to wear, so we were lame and didn't dress up but we promised each other that we would next year. Here are a few photos and we hope you all had a Happy Halloween!!

We carved pumpkins earlier in October with our friends Steve and Cassie
