Riley's Birthday Bash!

Saturday we had Riley's birthday party and it was so much fun! I had bought her birthday outfit and she looked SOO cute, although it only lasted about 10 minutes on her! Ha! But I'm sure she will get future use out of the shirt, and HOPEFULLY the tutu :)

While Riley was eating HER cake, we started passing out the big cake... it only took a few minutes for me to notice that Nana's lips were turning black. I told Jessi and I thought we were going to pee in our pants, no one had caught on yet, so I told Nana to smile.. SEE BELOW :)

Then Meme:

By this time everyone was dying laughing, but poor Pa still had no idea why I was telling him to smile! :)

We ended up leaving from Jessi's house and got in right after midnight. It was a good choice because there was hardly any traffic and Ryder slept the whole way! It was SUCH a fun trip!!

Thanksgiving TN Day 4:

 

Saturday we headed over to Jessi's house to help her set up for Riley's birthday party and we had planned on getting some pictures of the kids. I never realized how hard it would be to get 2 kids to smile for the camera and cooperate! ha! It sure was a task! But the pictures turned out so cute even if there not all smiling perfectly at the camera!

Thanksgiving TN trip Day 3:

Friday was mostly a recooperating day although I only slept about 3 hours off and on so we were all tired! We went out later that afternoon to do a little bit more shopping and we really just stayed home and played. Eric and all the older boys and Scott went bowling that night around midnight which they said was a blast!

Happy Thanksgiving!

  Thursday we got up early and played at the house for a while and of COURSE we started searching through all of our 9 papers that had arrived early that morning... YES 9 PAPERS! One of Sheri's friends delivers papers and brought us plenty so we wouldn't have to fight over coupons! Its always alot of fun mapping our which stores we want to go to, what time they open and figuring out our gameplan. I would like to say I helped cook, but I didn't! :) Here are some fun pictures from our day!!

Thursday morning while we were all eating breakfast, I noticed Ryder had been really quiet so I went looking for him to find this... He had some how found all of Coby's halloween candy and had taken a bite out of almost every peice and then put it beside him! He is SUCH a mess!!

We mapped out our plan and ended up needing to go to 6 stores starting at 8:30pm and ending at 6am.. It was SOO much fun this year, we didn't get anything really big so we didnt have to wait for hours for one item which was nice. We got back home around 7am! Although it's always a little extra hard in TN because we

are one hour ahead so we really stayed out until 8am!

 

We got some GREAT deals though!!
