Due to some unforeseen sickness we were not able to keep with the plans to spend the day with my family. Last minute we thought we would go to Chuck A Rama but had no idea what kind of line would be wrapped around the building and into the parking lot. We kept driving around and saw that IHOP was open. My kids were all for going there. Marshall and I tried their turkey dinner which left much to be desired but definitely kept us laughing through the craziness of the day. The kids loved having pancakes, eggs and bacon for their Thanksgiving feast.
Then we went home and the minis and I took naps. It was so nice to have some good quiet time which I wouldn't have normally gotten.
That afternoon we went to the movie Trolls. This was also a first and helped brighten our day.
We had some free time after the movie so we found a park and skate park. Even though it was dark, that didn't stop the kids from running around and having fun.
We had missed out on having pie. Ali invited us over to her house and so we were ready to head there after the skate park. We were all so excited to see family and have something normal for Thanksgiving. Sienna had a huge blow out from her diaper and we thought we were going to have to skip Ali and go home. This would go along with the craziness of the day. We were all so sad thinking we would miss out on dessert at Ali's. So we wiped Sienna down really well and changed her clothes. We were able to go to Ali's still and it ended our bizarre day on a positive note.
Random note: I picked up a pumpkin pie from Costco and worried that they might be out. Not a chance with this huge pallet full plus the refrigerated section.
My homemade rolls with the Lion House roll recipe. This year I used Turkey Flour from Lehi Roller Mills and it made them so light and fluffy. Yum!
Lynnlee's cozy pajamas for watching a movie during Thanksgiving break.
Ali is a gem. She invited us over Friday night for a Thanksgiving dinner redo. We had delicious turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, broccoli, rolls, and pie. She even had her fancy wear out for us.
Sienna found this robe that used to be Lynnlee's. She left it on most of Saturday.
Saturday morning I met up with my friends at Kneaders. I sure love these ladies!
We have a tradition with my family to see a movie on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. This year we saw Moana. We all loved it. The minis sit through movies now so it's very enjoyable for the whole family.
Saturday night we went to the Santa parade. It's always so cold but it's a short and quick parade.
Later that night Marshall and James went to the BYU game. It was a cold and windy game but they had fun. BYU won so that made it all the better.
