2016: November 2016

SLEDDING/SNOW DAY

I took Ruby and Maile Frei sledding behind Ashley and Derek's house. There was a hill Derek had taken Maile on and they had a blast. The girls loved every minute. After sledding down the hill we went to the park and played on the slides, built a snowman and the girls did some snow angels. Then I took them to the swings. That was probably their favorite part. They both didn't want to get out when we had to leave.

We went back to the house and Ashley had made us tomato soup and grilled cheese. :) I got to hold baby Gabby, it was a perfect day. Ruby was beat after all that fun.

PLAYDATE WITH SUMMER

My friend Megan Lewis is pregnant with a boy! She has really hard pregnancies and is really sick for a long time. We took her and Summer a Subway sandwich and visited.

ISCH'S HURT FOOT

While shopping in Target for some Christmas decorations, stockings, etc...I fell but caught myself on the cart. My foot had rolled inward so it twisted it pretty good. I was wearing these booties that are slick on the bottom. Not good...

I managed to still go to one other store and get myself home. I sat on the couch and when I tried to get up I couldn't put any pressure on it at all! I had to crawl everywhere! It was miserable because having to go potty 3-4 times in the middle of the night when you can't walk is no easy feat.

A few days later Nate took me to a podiatrist and he said things would be back to normal within 3 weeks. I got a cool cart to ride around the house in though! Ruby loved it and was always asking to have a ride on it. We would go around and around the kitchen island.

THAI BASIL

Went to Thai Basil with Scott and Peggy. My cousin, Janaye, works there. It was so yummy!

DECORATING THE CHRISTMAS TREE

We had bought a large Christmas tree on Black Friday but some of the lights at the top stopped working! So we took it back and decided to stick with the little tree we borrow from Tina every year. We will buy a big tree next year. Ruby helped me decorate it, she did a fabulous job. It's so fun having a little one around at Christmas, they make it so much more magical.

LOS CUCOS MEXICAN RESTAURANT

We went to see the lights at Temple Square and ate at Los Cucos before we went.

TEMPLE SQUARE LIGHTS

It was kind of crazy trying to get parked and all together since we drove three separate cars. Also luck was not on our side since Scott got pulled over and got a ticket...but eventually we all found each other and were able to go see the lights for about 20 minutes. That's about all we needed anyways since it was FREEZING!

SUNDAY

Ruby in her Sunday best.

Snuggle fest with Uncle Mike and Aunt Hannah.

THANKSGIVING WEEK IN IDAHO

EL VAQUERO

We drove to Idaho Tuesday a few days before Thanksgiving to spend some time with family.

Here we are eating at one of our favorite Blackfoot Mexican restaurants. It's always fun to get these cute girls together.

FROZEN YOGURT

After dinner we went to Pango Mango Frozen Yogurt. Ruby and Addalyn had fun running around and jumping on the couch.

EMPEY'S

We went into Empey's to help cook to take some of the workload off Lisa for Thanksgiving. Ruby was so excited about the trampoline. It was freezing outside but she didn't care, she spent most of the day on that trampoline.

Grandpa Hansen brought some pizza for everyone for lunch. Here's Ruby and Shad eating it on the tramp.

There must always be a dance party!

FACE MASK FUN

Did my favorite face mask with Hannah, Mike and Zac. I didn't mix it in the right order and it came out really really lumpy. We all ended up looking like swamp creatures. I couldn't stop laughing, Mike's face was killing me!

THANKSGIVING DAY

Thanksgiving Day was very relaxing. The boys got out and hit some golf balls in the backyard. It was a beautiful, chilly day.

When we got to Empey's, Mark was frying up scones in the oil he fried the turkey in. They were so good!

None of the babies were able to take naps since we ate at 2pm which is most of their nap times. Ruby crashed while we were dancing. She was so cute because she fell asleep on Hannah and then when we got back to G&G Hansen's she snuggled with Kory for about 20 mins. She loves her Aunties!

When Ruby woke up she was ready to play with Addalyn!

THE REST OF THE FAM...

IN GEORGIA...

Jesse, Janna, Kinley and Millie spent the day with family at Doug and Dixie's house.

IN WASHINGTON...

They had a large get together with some of the Christensen side of the family at my parents house in Washington.

GYM ACTIVITIES W/ EXTENDED FAMILY

Friday morning we all went over to the church to play some basketball and volleyball in the gym. The Watts came and Geraline Bruce's family came also.

BLACK BEAR DINER

PINDALE LANES

BREAKFAST AT THE WATT'S

Saturday morning we went to the Watt's for breakfast. We took a fruit tray and Lisa made some delicious breakfast casseroles. Ruby and Addalyn had a blast playing with all of Maggie and Zoey's old toys.

Ruby and Addalyn got to ride on the Watt's ATV.

FAMILY PICTURES

We took some family pictures since we were all together. Peggy had a photo she wanted to take since all three of us girls are pregnant! It was a celebration photo, we all wore party hats and held a sign that said BABY. She also gave us a ball to hold that represented the 3 babies. Mine was pink since I know I'm having a girl. Hannah and Kory had red since they still don't know what they are having.

We are so excited to have three more sweet babies come into the family! This family is growing quickly!

UGLY SWEATER COOKIE DECORATING

Ruby and Addalyn eating a variety of Grandma Hansen's freeze dried veggies and fruit.

MORE PICTURES FROM THIS WEEK...

Grandma and Grandpa Hansen bought a new trampoline for the Grandbabies. Ruby couldn't get enough of it. She wanted to be out on it the whole time we were in Idaho. It was so cold that no one wanted to stay out there very long.
