Christmas is coming!!!

Last week was so busy but tons of fun!  On Monday last week Ste called and asked, "So, what are you plans for tonight?"  I said the typical homework.  He then told me, "Well, your husband is probably going to be outside of Costa Vida all night tonight."

Costa Vida was giving out free food for a year to the first 50 people in line.  They were opening their doors Tuesday morning at 10:30 so people had to spend the night in order to make the cutoff.  Ste was just going to go with some friends because he didn't think I would want to go.  Well, I didn't want to be home alone so I decided I would buck up and go.  It was so worth it!!!

We ended up being 39 and 40 in line.  The guy next to us had gone to the Spanish Fork opening and was planning to go to the the Lehi opening.  He is a die hard fan if ya couldn't tell.  He had a nice little heater that he pointed on us so we didn't complain.  The only thing that was difficult was when I woke up at 6am and had to pee super bad.  I decided to drive to WalMart.  Well,  that was unnecessary because Starbucks had opened just around the corner of the building. Oh well.  Doors opened right on time! We were given this little card... notice anything wrong with it??

There are two number 15s! Oh ya!! One extra free meal!! haha We also got a meal that morning for free.  It was pretty great.  However, I did go to work right after and threw up.  Totally worth it though.

Grandpa needed some help getting the rest of their walnuts off the tree.  We first attempted to climb the tree but it was super wet and my pants were too right so we decided to use a piece of wood.  That worked out great but then we needed the walnuts that were higher... soo... grandpa decided to clamp a super long window washer to the end of it.  It was awesome.  We then got a softball to through up and hit more down.  It was super fun.

So last week of Thanksgiving!!! My parents came to town and it was tons of fun! Ste dragged me out to my first experience of Black Friday.  We went to the Sports Authority because they were giving out giftcards ranging from $10-$500 to the first 80 people in line on Thanksgiving night at 6pm and again on Friday at 6am.  We only got $10 each every time but the first time we witnessed a lady backing into a car (the only car behind her) in the parking lot.  It was pretty funny.  The second time.....

My dad joined us!!! We also got our picture in the Daily Herald. In the picture we were quite happy looking.  Why? Because dad was telling about his drug days.  Also, when the photographer asked our names dad said, "Ken.  Ken Nelson."  Darn reporter didn't put our names in the article, though. So lame.

Ste and I also got our first Christmas tree together!! We decided smaller was best. Mostly because it came with a stand.  And yes... the tree is on our kitchen table. We never use it anyway.  WE LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!

My aunt Mary made these suuuuper cute stockings too!! We love them!!!!
