Potty Training, Thanksgiving and turning 28

Look at this cute adorable little face! You would never believe that she has been a little monster trying to potty train. I have to say that I absolutely HATE potty training! It really has been such a long process. She was doing so great after two and a half weeks but the last two days at my parents and since coming home it seems like we have completely started over. I tried the potty training in three days where you switch over completely to underwear. Lets just say after spot cleaning about every inch of my front room carpet and my couches, it didn't really work for me. I just have to say I will be so grateful when it's over.

Lexi loves to read books and sings songs and its one of the only ways I can get her to go

Thanksgiving was so fun. Stacy and I took our girls and went done on the Friday before to surprise my parents. Jaron and Jaden came down the day before because they had to work. The food was fabulous as usual and we worked for hours in the kitchen to get it all made. After dinner we played lots of games that we exchanged for Christmas. We had so much fun and laughed hysterically while playing the game Quelf. Stacy gave it to us for Christmas and if you haven't played it, you should.

We did do Black Friday shopping but Mom and Mindy were the ultimate shoppers. They started at 11pm on Thanksgiving night. They got home a little after midnight, slept 3 hours and they got up to be at Kohls by 4am. When Stacy and I got up around 7:30, mom was wide awake and ready to go again with us. We got some fabulous sales at Target and Kohls. It was so fun to all be together for over a week.

My birthday was on Sunday, the 29th so unfortunately we were in the car for most of the day traveling back to Utah. The night before, my parents bought me an ice cream cake to celebrate. I got some good gifts from my hubby and family and then Stacy and I wrapped presents with my mom, which I absolutely love to do.
