Back From Vacation!!

we had such a great time in utah with my parents and sister. we had a great thanksgiving and great food. we all played games and had a great time. my sister cooked a great thanksgiving dinner for all of us and it was delicious. after we had dinner together we went downstairs to watch a movie as a family the movie was home alone three it was really funny and the kids enjoyed it. after that we were all pretty tired from dinner and everything else so we went back to the hotel to go to bed and get ready to wake up early morning for black friday shopping.
on friday morning me, daniel, and spencer woke up at 3am to go to jcpennys to get the free snow globes and we were able to get them but it was crazy there in utah, everybody that was waiting for the store to open was crazy. then after that store we went over to walmart and that was even crazier we couldn't get anywhere in the store everybody was pushing and yelling and blocking everyone from getting anywhere. when the countdown happened everyone mad dashed to the toys and stuff they were waiting for, it was scary so many people i'm surprised that nobody got hurt, but someone that was waiting for the tvs lost their tv someone bumped into him and his tv crashed to the ground he was very upset, and there was alot of mean people to i'm so glad that none of us got hurt. we were able to get one thing only there was too many people in there. then we went to target and i was able to get my camera i wanted for christmas from my parents so i was happy about that. then we were so tired that we went back to the hotel to sleep and rest until we had to get up to go meet my family. we had a busy shopping day that morning.
then that afternoon my parents came and picked us up to go to the boondocks to play games and celebrate jamie and jadens birthday. we had alot of fun, we all won alot of tickets and the kids were able to get nice prizes so we all had a great time. then after that my mom decided that we all go to thanksgiving point which was a really big display of lights and other christmas things. we all piled into my dads car and got to see all the pretty light displays as a family. they were awesome and pretty, the kids loved the lights and we have never seen anything like it before. we were all singing christmas songs and taking pictures and having a great time, we then went over to the christmas stores they had and the kids got to see real reindeer which was so cool, they thought it was prancer it was so cute, we got lots of pictures of that. we had a great time there i will never forget thanksgiving point and how much fun we had as a family. we also went and saw the temple lights and they were beautiful and the kids and daniel loved it. i took them into the visitors center and daniel loved the statue of jesus christ with all the clouds surrounding him. the kids saw the manger scene which wasn't on but they saw what it looked like, and they got to see how big a temple was and how beautiful it is from the outside, so we really enjoyed the temple.
then we went back to my parents house and jaden opened his birthday gifts that he got from grandma, grandpa, and aunt jamie. he got a remote control car with a airplane on it, he got a pokemon r/c car, a sorry game, and some money from us. he had a good birthday then we sang and had cupcakes that jamie made. then we went back to go to bed, we had a great time.
mom, dad, and jamie i just wanted to say that we had a great time and we will never forget this holiday and how much fun we had, thank you for everything, and we hope to see you soon again. we love you and happy holidays. so this is what we did and more this thanksgiving week with my family and we hope to do it again soon. talk to you all later, and i will post pictures soon.

Halloween Time!!

Today is november 1st but i am going to talk about our halloween yesterday. We went downtown to do the traditional trick or treating from business to business, and they gave out good candy this year, the kids and daniel and i had a really good time. the weather was really nice to, the kids didn't have to bundle up so that was nice. The kids got alot of candy downtown. We then left from there, and went to our trunk or treat at the church. The kids got alot of toys instead of candies, they were happy. We had about 15 cars so the kids got alot of stuff there to. After that we went to my old neighborhood up highland area and went trick or treating up there on satterfield drive. I got to see alot of my old friends parents and they met our kids and it was really nice to see them. We even went to my old house and the kids got big candy bars from the parrishs and it was like old times living in that beautiful house and going up those stairs to the front door, i miss that house we have alot of good memories there as the brummer family. The kids got alot of candy up there to and had a good time seeing all the neat decorations and the big houses. We had a great halloween and boy were we exhausted after all that, when we got home we all went through the candy and gave each kid a piece of candy and went to bed. This halloween was good weather all day and night, and we all had a great time as a family.
