This Thursday was Thanksgiving!!! Kev and I both had a lot to be thankful for this year. We knew it was going to be different this year, being away from both of our parents, but we were grateful that we were getting to spend this year with each other. But not only was it just Thanksgiving, it was also Cooper's 4th birthday! That afternoon we went and enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving meal at a beautiful resort here in Arizona. The food was amazing and it was nice spending the day with family. After lunch, we went to see a movie for Coopers birthday. We ended up watching the movie "Bolt". I've never laughed so hard ever in a movie before! Kevin and I both loved it and enjoyed spending time with Cooper on his birthday. After the movie we headed over to Aunt Kristy's for cake and ice cream! Cooper ended up having 4 or 5 different cakes or pies to choose from! He didn't know which one to eat first! Haha! Kev and I had a great Thanksgiving!
Later on that night Kevin and I had a lot of fun looking through the Black Friday ads and finding all the good deals! It is kinda a tradition in my family, that the day after Thanksgiving all the girls wake up super early and go shopping! Well... this year was a little different. I wasn't able to be with my family this year so i dragged Kev along with me! hehe! I love him so much! He was such a trooper through it all and was such a big help through all those big crowds.
The next day was Kevin's BIG 24th!!! I surprised him when he woke up with the house decorated with streamers and balloons everywhere and breakfast already made! Kev was so happy! After breakfast, Kev couldn't wait to open his gifts for me! I tried to talk him into waiting till later on that night but he just couldn't wait. I got Kev a couple of the Nike dri- fit t-shirts that he has been wanting for awhile, but i ended up getting him the wrong size. So we got ready for the day and went to the mall to exchange them. Kevin and I both love shopping. No matter if it's for him or for me or for the house. He will go with me every time I want to go. I never have to worry about ever going shopping alone. haha! After the mall Kev got to choose where we got to go for lunch. Then after lunch we went to go pick up Kev's cake from the Cheesecake Factory! He was so excited that he tried eating and picking at the cake all the way over to Ryan and Sarah's that night. We went over there later that night for cake and gifts. Kevin had such a good time hanging out with his family and enjoying everyone's company. Later on that night, I took Kevin miniature golfing at Golfland! We had so much fun golfing and spending time together. On the way there Kev made me a deal that, whoever won had to wake up extra early Sunday morning and make breakfast. I thought to myself, poor Kevin... He's going to have to wake up early before church and make me breakfast... I was the one that had to wake up extra early and make breakfast! haha! The little weasel beat me by 2 points! Overall Kevin had an amazing birthday and loved spending the whole day together!
So there was our busy but very exciting weekend! We are so grateful for eachother and specially for family. They really do mean a lot to us!
