Thanksgiving

SO I know this is an excuse, but our November and December are CRAZY. Seriously, we have 4 birthdays, our anniversary, 2 thanksgivings, 2 christmases, plus all the holiday craziness and parties. But the importnat ting is that I get it documented even if it is late, right?

The Saturday before Thanksgiving we had the Gamble family Thanksgiving because Mom and Dad Gamble were going to Utah during Thanksgiving to visit Mom's mom.It was a nice relaxing day in which we learned to ALianna can eat her weight in Mom Gamble's rolls.

We left for my parents in New Mexico on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving because ArJay has Tuesday-Thursday off every week and we knew we'd have to go back on Friday so we wanted to get as much time as possible.

My mom actually had off on Tuesday so we got to hang out with one of Alianna's favorite people her "grammie" all day. ArJay and I then got a real treat that night and got to go to the movies and see Harry Potter.
Obviously, Mom and Dad still had to work so on Wednesday we went to the "Bouncing Place". It is this indoor playplace that has a bunch of huge bouncing castles and slides and a toddler room with little tykes playhouses and cars and stuff. Needless to say, this is one Alianna's favorite places ever. There was a little playgroup there and Alianna just jumped right in with them like they had all been friends their whole lives. There are no strangers in Alianna's world, only new friends.

On Thanksgiving day, Alianna got to go to the movies for the very first time and see Tangled in 3-D. I thought she would hate the glasses but she was fine and even sat thru 7/8th of the movie and I think she only started moving around because it was nap time. It was an adorable movie and even had all the grownups laughing out loud.

Because we are insane, we went to the Black Friday stuff that night at midnight and then ArJay went again at 5am. Then, because we obviously hate ourselves and/or sleep we drove home that morning so ArJay could get to work.
