When we arrived in Mesa we just chilled with the Anderson family as well as the following day which was a Sunday.
We played lots of games like hide and seek, shutes and ladders, Guess who, Matching cards, and Dominos with the kiddos, we also did some puzzles. The grown ups loved playing Phase 10.
Almost every evening we had the best home cooked meals, even the sandwiches were heavenly!!
Before Thanksgiving Mitch and I got to go on a date while Vanna watched Lydibug. We drove to Scottsdale where we went to an awesome theater called The IPic Theater. The seats at this place are recliners!! which also came with a little blanket and a pillow. Our waiter came right before Catching Fire started and we ordered our food. Mitch got some chicken while I got a salad. The movie was great and the experience was even greater!!!! I wish every Movie Theater was like this one but not as expensive!
The day before Thanksgiving Lydibug started walking all on her own!!! We all were so excited and happy for her!
We also go to go to Bailees' school to participate in the Turkey trot, where they ran around the entire school!
On Thanksgiving we had stuffing, turkey, Raspberry jello with creme cheese (AMAZING), Pumpkin pie, chocolate mint cheesecake, rolls, and mashed potatoes!! The day was very relaxing.
That night Vanna and I went to Target (part of the early black friday crowd.) I really enjoyed this time with my sister, She found everything that she wanted to get and I ended up leaving with a pair of jammies for Lydibug.
Also while in AZ we went and saw the Mesa Temple Lights, they have such great nativity things and lights. Lydia and Stockton sure were enjoying themselves. Some other things we did while there included Watching some movies on the projection screen and eating at the Organ Stop!!!
We had such a great time in Arizona we didn't want to leave!! We also learned a lot from the Andersons and came home with new goals to be better parents and family.
Thanks Andersons for such a great time!!
