Thanksgiving and a Road Trip!

On thanksgiving we spent a great day with my sister Erin and her family. It was a really quiet day since our sister Kathleen left town to go to Southern California to meet her almost new mom in law! But it was a lot of fun, we played games and Erin's little boy Jacob had us cracking up during Apples to Apples! Erin made a great dinner and one of the best turkeys ever! On Black Friday Jeff and I were up at about 2 am (yes three hours of sleep!) We got some Blu Ray players which was really cool! and some other things! (I finished niece and nephew shopping!) And started on Bridget and Quinnie's things. Jeff of coarse wants green stuff but we have a good surprise waiting for him! I am trying to download pictures to share too! On Black Friday we went to bed early (not enough sleep and we got up early Saturday to head out to Utah! We took the train again this time with Kelly. It was really a relaxing day. We sat in the lounge car at a table and played games and had lunch. We went back and took a nap at our seats and enjoyed the scenery over the Mountains and had dinner later in the Diner Car, which the kids love because they get Individual Ice Creams at the end. We then headed back to our seats for some shut eye til we got to Salt Lake. Kelly's parents met us and we were off to Tooele. We Got up Sunday and enjoyed a family day. Almost all of Kelly's brothers and sisters were there (only Julie couldn't get away from Arizona). It was so much fun for Bridget and Quinn to play with all of their cousins, Becca, Dallas, Courtney, Madison, Blake, Kaytlin, Michael, Ethan (the crack up!), Hailey, Landyn, Kahri, and Caleb were all there. Bridget loved having Caleb and Landyn around since they just arrived this fall and she loves babies. Quinn loved having his little cousins Michael and Ethan and Hailey follow him around and playing with his cool cousin Kaytlin (she is a girl who likes bugs what more can I say!). The best part of the evening was finding out that Brian and Didi will be adding to the Weaver Bunch in late May! We are so excited for them! On Monday Kelly and his Brother Cary and his little girl Kahri went with Bridget and Quinn to the Discovery Museum and had a good afternoon, then Mom and Dad and I met them along with Jake and Tracy and Caleb at the Salt Lake Temple to see the Beautiful temple lights. Tuesday was when the fun began because Quinn was sick ALL DAY! But he is getting better and we got on the train late Tuesday night and had a relaxing ride home on Wednesday just in time for me to head out to Ward Council Meeting! And come home to Bridget getting sick, needless to say we took one more day off and have relaxed at home today! Hope all of you had a good holiday and aren't to busy getting ready for Christmas that you forget the Reason For The Season! I hoping my tree looks like this soon! It has lights and everything else is up!
