Thanksgiving Plays




Thursday was a day full of plays. Hannah began her morning at school with a play and a Thanksgiving Feast. She can tell us alot about the plilgrims and Indians. As you can see both Hannah and Blake were Indians. We just cut Hannah's hair so her braids were hard to do--but she was cute anyway!!
Then, Blake did a little play at his school. They were so cute. He and I then went to McDonald's to get a toy (really, why does anyone go to MCDonald's??)
Then, Natalie had her 3rd grade play, "Nutcracker". She was a sugar plum fairy. She and a friend had a short solo part. They were adorable and the play was great.
I think I'm all "played out" after yesterday. It didn't help that I stayed up all night watching the movie "Twilight" with friends for the midnight showing. We did have a great night. I'm paying for it today.

BYU vs. Air Force Football Game





While Joseph and Blake are off at the Alabama vs. Mississippi State game, the girls and I had a fun weekend here in Colorado. On Friday night, we went the the BYU fireside which was great. Then we went to dinner and the girls had a sleepover with friends. They danced and watched movies til early in the morning. On Saturday, it was another great day at the football game. We had front row seats at the end zone and the girls truly enjoyed the game. At the end after BYU beat Air Force 38 to 24 the BYU football players came around to give high fives to the fans, and one of the football players gave Lauren his wristband. She was so excited. Then, we went back home and watched the Alabama vs. Mississippi State game in hopes we might see Joseph and Blake in the stands. It was a good game for Alabama who came out on top again. I will have to blog about the boys weekend when they get back!!

Mitt Romney came to Colorado Springs for a Rally. It was great to hear him speak and I even got to shake his hand. Maybe in 2012!!
