This year for thanksgiving, we were able to head up toKaysville after Brandon got out of school on Wednesday and spend it with some of the Cheneys! The house was decorated for christmas and Coleton had a ton of fun looking and all of the great decorations and of course seeing my parents cho cho train which he asked to see often.
We were able to have thanksgiving dinner with my parents, my brother Curtis and his family, Caralee, and my aunt Crystal and uncle Danny.
It was a lot of fun just chatting and doing the normal thanksgiving stuff. We had cinnamon rolls, regular rolls, turkey, potatos and gravy, jellos, green bean casserole and of course pies and my moms famous christmas candy. We had a chance to watch he parade, which is one of my favorite things to do. e went up to salt lake to watch the lighting of temple square
on Friday night with my sister caralee. It was pretty cold and really packed so we didnt stay long but it was sure fun to head up and see them.
Saturday we went window shopping, like we love to do, and just had a ton of fun spending time with my parents. Sunday came to fast and we had to headed home. Thanksgiving was so much fun and we were so lucky to be able to spend it with family! Happy Thanksgiving!
We then headed up to Cedar so that Brandon could get some help designing a life size tetris game and then headed back home.
For our dinner, we made a foot and a half foot sandwich, with BBQ chicken/Sweet teryaki chicken/ chicken bacon ranch. After dinner we opened a few presents..
Coleton didnt really understand wrapping paper but thought it was entertaining!
We got some really fun and amazing gifts and so did Coleton..
He got a new sports blanket from grandma cheney and also a new pair of PJS (there the brown stripes) which are adorable!!
We also got some family books that are really nice! There is a cookbook, family history of my grandparents, and a family book of pictures!
The day turned out great and we had alot of fun spending time together! 
After reading The Night Before Christmas it was time for bed!! Time for Santa to come!!
Coleton loved opening a bag each night and would carry around the different gifts for days.
It was so fun to watch him get so excited for each ornament and i cant wait to see him on christmas!! Thanks mom and dad!
so for family home evening we had Coleton put it together and boy was he excited!
Him and his elmo doll!!
I told Coleton that elmo would get sick if he ate all the candy and Coleton was so disappointed!
Brandon was just so excited for him and it was the first student that he has taught that has been baptized. After the baptism we came home and had family come over for a little party. Before the little family party, Brandon and I went to Olive Garden for dinner by ourselves! After dinner, Brandons grandparents and parents had cake waiting for us. I got a extra large gate for the house to keep the kids from touching our couches and getting them dirty so i was pretty excited. Other than that it was a pretty simple day but it was good non the less!!
The elf watches us through out the day and keeps note of what we are doing and periodically reports to santa at the north pole at nights while we sleep. When we wake up in the mornings he is often in a different place in the house. We were able to name him and since Coleton would have named him choo or elmo we let Brandon decided what we would call him...first he wanted buddy, but i vetoed that. Then he wanted kebler and again i vetoed that! Then he decided Heber would be good so i agreed and our elf in named Heber Comstock!! Coleton does not really understand why the elf is around yet but we hope through out the next few years he will grow to love Heber when santa drops him off!!
