I loved showing off Bentley! And my sisters loved fighting over who got to hold him! Haha, they love being aunts. Bentley was being passed around from his aunts to his grandpa all Thanksgiving day. I never thought I'd get him back!
That night some of my siblings and dad were going to see a movie. Trevor and I kept debating on whether to find a babysitter for Bentley or just stay home with him. Well, I ended up going and Trevor watched him for a couple hours. It felt so good to get a little break, but I did miss my baby boy!
When I got back Trevor went out to a movie so he could get a little break. Well, at 2 in the morning I got a phone call from him asking if I wanted to go to iHop! Haha really random, but our little family went off to iHop at 2 in the morning. Our waitress was so nice and was having a very long shift, because of all the Black Thursday/Friday shopping and she did not have a break at all. Trevor and I wanted to do something nice for her, so we left her a $50 tip! We left and she came out the side door and thanked us a bunch of times and told us we made her night! It felt so good to see the huge smile on her face.
Friday morning my friend Aleigh Moore took our family pictures! It was so much fun and she did such an amazing job! I'm so glad she was able to capture my little family. Go check out her work on Facebook at Aleigh Joy Images! She seriously is amazing and we can't wait to see the rest of our pictures!
One of the things I miss about Utah are my nieces and nephews! My niece Kennedi loves taking pictures with me and whenever we get going, I can never get her to stop!
Friday was a full on busy day for us! Family pictures, shopping with my dad, running into one of my best friends Courtney, dinner at the training table with my siblings and dad, then we finished off the evening with temple square and the lights! It was the first time I've been back to temple square in two years! I have missed it. It was so beautiful and really packed! Plus, I love being able to spend time with my family.
A week before we were suppose to come down my sister Dominique called me and asked if Trevor and I wanted to go to lunch at the Olive Garden (my absolute favorite place!) before we head back up to Washington. Of course we said yes! Little did we know a surprise was coming our way! Usually when we plan to go out to eat or an activity our whole family comes. I asked my sisters, brothers and Dad if they were coming to lunch and they all said no or they already had plans. Weird, that usually never happens! At the last minute before we were heading to lunch my dad decided to join us because his plans weren't happening anymore. We got to the Olive Garden and the hostess was taking us to our table, we turned the corner and SURPRISE!!! My sisters, one of my brothers, and my mom were there waiting for us! Decorations, balloons, presents! A surprise post baby shower! It was awesome! After lunch we went to my mom's house so my younger siblings could see their newest nephew! It was fun and great to see my younger siblings!
On our way to Washington we stopped in a little town called Arco, Idaho and visited Trevor's aunt, uncle and grandma! It was nice to meet more of Trevor's family and for them to see Bentley. He sure is spoiled and everyone loves him! Our trip to Utah was so much fun and I couldn't have asked for a better time with the people I love!
Hopefully we will be seeing Utah again at Christmas!
