November

November was such a fun month! We had so much going on and it was all great! Tyler and I are huge Boise State football fans and we got to watch them live on the blue turf! We had awesome south endzone seats. I got hit in the head by a football during warmups and it was so freezing that I could hardly stand it, but it was all so worth it to see them kill the Idaho Vandals!
Tyler and I got all decked out in game day Bleed Blue t-shirts and beenies but it was so cold that you couldn't see how cute we looked!
This is me being so freezing that I can't move. I had thermals on, jeans, long socks, two t-shirts, a long sleeve shirt, sweatshirt, coat, scarf, beanie, and a blanket and I was still cold!
That same weekend, Tyler's dad took us to Tucanos to treat Tyler to a birthday dinner (even though his birthday was in September). Yum Yum!

On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, we drove over 16 hours to get to Surprise, Arizona to spend the Holiday with my family and my sisters house. The drive was a ride from hell but it was worth it. We had so much fun. It didn't exactly feel like Thanksgiving because of the 80 degree weather, but it was great! When we got to Heather and Jason's house, Easton was up waiting for us and he greated my by taking a pretend bite out of my leg and fake burping in my face. So sweet, huh? This literally did not end the entire visit. Every time I tried to talk to him or play with him he would fake burp at me. This is one of the many times he did that...

Our dinner was so delicious! My mom and dad did an awesome job preparing everything and I loved eating it. Thanksgiving was very different than what I am used to but it was a very nice change. I helped with dinner! I cut celery and put easy cheese on it. I hate that stuff but Heather loves it. After dinner we went outside to enjoy the warm weather and get out of the house, and we were so hyper! Heather has some flower bushes and a lemon tree in her backyard and had way too much fun playing in them. I want to post pictures but Heather would kill me...
We woke up at 3:30 am to do some Black Friday shopping. We hit Kohls first and got a car full of stuff. We had to drop it off before hitting the next store because there wouldn't have been any room in the car for anything else. Then we went to Target, with much less success there, and then Walmart where we once again found way too much stuff that we all wanted. I was so surprised how not crowded the stores were. We had to wait in a very long line at Target, but I still felt like it was dead compared to what I have seen on past Black Fridays.
When we got home, I was trying to rest and Easton didn't want me to. He told me to wake up and was crawling all over me. It's ok though, I love that kid.
After shopping all morning, we went to the mall that evening and shopped some more! It was such a fun trip! I did not want to leave. I loved being able to spend so much time with my family, espcially little Easton! Tyler and I planned on coming home on Sunday but decided to take the longer trip home and leave a day early. The drive through Nevada was so boring that we wanted to go through Utah, and possibly stay at my Grandpas and break the trip up. That was a terrible idea. We were loving the drive and excited that we decided to go that way, until we hit the scariest snow storm ever! It was as we were driving over passes and over mountains and I was so scared I was crying! Then we hit Salt Lake just as the Utah, BYU game was getting out and got stuck in horrible traffic. We decided to just go all the way home but got slowed down, again, by thick, nasty fog! We had such bad luck! But we got home at about 5:00 am and got some sleep. I made Tyler help me put the Christmas tree up that day!
