Day after Thanksgiving Shopping

So these are really blurry pictures... But for awhile there I have been using my iphone camera which I thought was suppose to take good pictures. I am learning I prefer my camera... This year Joni, Heather and I decided to hit the sales. We had a few things at random places that we wanted to buy but most of all we were just going for the fun. Our first stop was Walmart... luckily we missed the 10PM mad rush and just made it after the store was a mess and the lines were to the back of the store. After running into another friend Nicole (who we talked into joining us the rest of the night) we left Walmart with NO purchases! We headed up to get in line at Target. When we pulled up I was thinking 'that line is not too long!' After parking and walking, we got closer we realized the line wrapped around down the side of the store so we kept walking and walking and realized that it wrapped around the back of the store too. We made a decision to ditch Target... Nothing in there was worth this wait. Off to Kohl's! Yea the line was half the size of Targets which meant we had a chance to get the things we wanted. Midnight the doors opened and we split up grabbed some things got in line then took turns running around grabbing more and more things.... Well as you can see from the pictures we made a haul:-) Kohl's even gave us boxes to carry all our things out!
After Kohl's we headed to the mall and shopped around for a bit before heading home.... but as we passed Target we couldn't help but stop and go see if there happened to be ANYTHING left. I think we made it home around 4AM and crashed! I am sure I will do it again next year!
Who is in?

Kaden Priesthood

What a neat day this was... Kaden recieved the Aaronic Priesthood. Both sets of grandparents were able to be there for this special occasion. We met in with all the Young Men, leaders, and bishopric. The bishop asked me to share my thoughts and testimony where after Jaren was able to give him the Priesthood! Very cool moment:-)

Kaden Turns 12

Happy Birthday Kaden! I cannot believe this boy is 12 years old!
He is growing up way to quickly...
A few things about Kaden:
KADEN....
-is very musically talented with the guitar and piano, allthough he no longer plays the piano:(
-loves playing almost every sport, his most favorites are probably soccer and basketball
-loves his sister very much (even though he pretends not to)
-is an excellent student... Every teacher he has ever had has wished they could take him home with them:-)
-is currently on the Buffalo Point Elementary Student Council
-is really enjoying going to Young Mens
-favorite food right now are crepes with Nutella and fresh strawberries
Along with Kaden's guitar he received his first cell phone. We wrapped it up and when he was about to open it we called it so the package was ringing! It was hilarious to watch his facial expressions...

Kaden has never been a cake fan, so we decided to do a brownie cake???
