A night at the Nutcracker!

Last weekend Abbey, Braeden and I drove down to Utah for one of Abbey's Cheer competitions. While we were there we were able to go see the Nutcracker at the Capital Theater..Thanks Mom..My mom was sweet enough to take all the girls in the family..my sis and her three girls, Ab and I and my mom. We had a great time! It's been along time since I've seen it and the first time for Abbey, I guess thats why 5 minutes into it she said "They aren't talking lets go home" She wasn't real thrilled that there was no talking..however once the princess's all came out and started twirling around she did decide she liked it. Thanks again Mom for a fun night! Kendra, Amy, Stina, Abbey, My sis lisa and my mom.

Abbey and I..

Of course we have to have a picture with the nutcracker....

National Finals Rodeo...

So, a couple weekends ago we headed to Vegas for the NFR with some friends. It was alot of fun! We watched a couple of the Rodeo's, shopped like crazy on Saturday, then headed to Mama Mia on Saturday night. It was great to see it on the stage and even more fun because I was with the one and only number 1 fan of Mama Mia..go back to the Halloween blog to see what I mean. Tara loves Mama Mia to say the least, which is why it made it that much more fun! After the show we decided the men needed to take there ladys to dinner and dancing..I have to say it's been awhile since we've really danced..but it was very fun and really interesting..the things you see in Vegas should really stay in Vegas!! Dinner after Mama Mia..notice the nice hat from Mama Mia!

Tara and Lloyd..we have alot of fun with them!

Yep..gotta take pics before the show..

Oh ya..there were the cowboys too..unbelievable.

and fireworks...wow, it wasn't even the 4th of July!

Time to eat the turkey..

For Thanksgiving this year we headed south to Brandons parents house..We hadn't been there to visit for awhile so it was fun to see grams and gramps and of course aunts, uncles and our very cute cousins. We ate lots (to much), shopped, went to a movie and the kids favorite part got in the pool, Yep I think it was a wee cold but they couldn't resist. Thanks Grams and Gramps Hansen for a fun weekend! Swimming in the pool...

Aunt Britt and Grandma..cooking away!

Cousin Paige and Abbey

Oh ya..Braed, Hunter, Paige and Abbey..Happy Thanksgiving!

Twilight..oh ya!

Yep it happened..I went to see Twilight, actually this was in November when it first came out..I am way behind as everyone can see. We had a great time..Loved the show and most of all the crowd..not really, the crowd was crazy. The best part was messing around with all of our fun friends and watching a show that we had been waiting for forever. The two main characters..um ya they are quite cute!

The crazy crowd..It actually felt like the day after Thanksgiving, trying to get into the stores..aah memories!

The funnest bunch around..love them all!
