Thanksgiving this year was surprisingly less stressful than previous years. The Ybarras rented out Dan's apartment building's clubhouse this time and what a HUGE difference it made. There was so much space for everyone to eat and play and it really did make a big difference in my anxiety levels. Not sure who provided the activities, but there were some fun things for the boys to do when we got there like making a turkey out of a pinecone and coloring pages. Such a cute idea! We brought the usual green bean casserole and some bubbly. All the food was amazing and I was a huge fan of the stuffing (stuffing is amazing). I brought a 1000 piece puzzle that Katie and Mom helped with, but apparently puzzles aren't a huge hit with the Ybarra family like it is with the Greer clan. But it was still a relaxing activity...at least for me. Lol! The kids ran around the clubhouse. They had some fun areas that the kids got to play in with their cousins.
After dinner with the Ybarras, the five of us headed to Abby's house with 2 pies in tow. We ate pie and hung out for awhile until they were sick of us. I wish I would've gotten pictures.
The next day, we met the Wilsons at the Megaplex in Orem to see Coco. It was such a great movie and the kids loved it as well. It always feels good to see a kids movie that you don't instantly regret paying that much money for.
That afternoon, we went home and decorated for Christmas!
We got a couple of those light projectors for the front of the house which saved us both money and time. Not as pretty as house lights, but honestly, no one but the 5 houses next to us see our house so we just don't care.
