The weekend I came back from being down in the valley we were supposed to get snow. When we woke up Saturday it didn't look promising. We went into town to meet Michael and McKinzie for lunch at Darby's. By the time we got there we were getting flakes. We sat at a table next to a large window and got to watch as the snow picked up and fell onto the ground. It was so serene. The trees were covered as we were heading back home. Later that night we met up with Rob and his family to see the hunger games. We sat in a small ice cream shop and sipped hot chocolate while we waited for the movie to start. Hallie fell asleep when we sat down in the theater so we were able to watch the whole thing. The snow hadn't really stuck yet in Show Low. But when we woke up the next morning we had a fresh coat of snow. We got bundled up and went outside. The dogs had never been in snow and surprisingly did well. They enjoyed running around in it. We attempted to make a snowman, but the snow was so powdery it was tough. So we uses the snow off Tyler's truck to make snowballs and of course Hallie loved throwing them at us. She thought the snow was fun until her hands got snow on them thru her gloves. Then wen came inside to warm up and made a hot breakfast. The snow started to melt when we got home from church, but it was fun while it lasted!
Our Thanksgiving was really relaxed. The morning of we laid around and watched movies. I made a green bean casserole in the afternoon and we headed over to Robs house for dinner. The food was all delicious of course and we stuffed ourselves till we couldn't any longer. Even Hallie ate really well. She surprised us this year by being a huge fan of turkey. She still won't touch mashed potatoes tho. At 6 Tyler and I left Hallie and headed to Walmart. I know...there was a huge deal with people upset that stores were open on Thanksgiving day. But when what your kid is asking for is on sale and you're trying to pinch your pennies, you gotta do what you gotta do. So we went. The entire parking lot was full. So was the Wendy's, Panda Express, and Home Depot next door (none of these places were even open..just people for Walmart). We split up so ty could go grab the bike and I wanted to look at movies. After 20 mins of being pushed around trying to even get close enough to look at the movies, I gave up and met up with Tyler. We found all of what we wanted to get Hallie and we were done. We were in and out in an hour..which is pretty dang good with how crazy hectic it was. I think we just finished faster than everyone else. I went back the next morning for a chance to look at movies and there was nothing left. Black Friday was completely outdone by their sales on thanksgiving this year. We enjoyed the rest of our weekend together. I didn't get one picture of us this year tho :(
