This past week has been so fun! My Sister's family and my MOM came to visit for a few days! They came Saturday the 17th - Thursday the 22nd. Here is what we did...
They showed up Saturday about 3 in the Afternoon and we had Pizza for Dinner and the Boys headed off to the Hockey Game while us girls and the Kids went to a candy store and to the mall to look around. (the dog store was a hit!)
Sunday we went to Church, I said good bye to my primary class as we made marshmellow snowmen. After church we came home and ate the brisket I had cooking all night. I was good but I am not a fan of cornbeef brisket. After Dinner I promised the kids we could open Christmas presents since we had their family for Christmas this year, here are a few pics.
Kayden opening the Pillow I made him. Lightning McQueen!

I think he liked it!
The girls opening their coloring books!
They loved them cause they had magic markers that didn't draw on anything but the paper!
Ashlee showing her present off.
Mark and Chelle opening the Gift Card.
Me enjoying myself!
Us girls posing, mom also liked her Hilary Weeks Cd and Speakers!
This is what Kaitlyn did while we opened presents!
After opening Presents we went to Mesa to see the temple lights and as always they were a Huge hit!
Monday we spent the day playing at the park, shopping at IKEA, and enjoying time together. Dean and I also were sick (had the flu of some kind) from Monday till Thursday NOT FUN! But we definitely made the best of our time! Dean and I had Tuesday and Wednesday off of work so we watched the kids while Chelle, Mark, and Mom went to the temple! I got up with the kids and I was playing with them and then I turned around and saw Kaitlyn Laying down her head so I rubbed her face for a sec and then this happened...
Too cute not to take a picture. After they got back from the temple we went to PEI WEI and had lunch. I had to laugh at our fortunes cause they were pretty accurate. Mine was about the loved one (I just got to talk to my brother on his mission) and Dean's was about the stock market. We got a good laugh out of them.
Then we split off the boys went to Cabelas and the girls went to a fabric store and the Container store! We met back up to have fish tacos at Rubios and then we went to the Zoo to see the Christmas lights and here is what we saw.
Love my Family!
It was a lot of fun and I think everyone enjoyed it. The kids even got free Giraffes!
Wednesday was Dean's Birthday he turned 27! This year I wanted to do something special like always and he has been wanting a REALLY nice Knife set for the Kitchen. So I worked my magic. It helped to have a sister who sells pampered chef. SO I got a REALLY nice and expensive knife set for a fraction of what it costs!
So the pictures below are the process of Dean opening his presents. Below is the big box I put the knifes in and I also included a few weights so it was heavy and he had NO idea what it was. hahahaha!

First he opened my moms, she gave him a awesome shirt and a golf ball retriever!
She also gave him a knife. I was a decoy to the real present!
Mark and Chelle gave him his favorite gummie candy!
Then it was time. I think I was more excited then he was cause he had NO clue what it was.
He was so excited! His reaction was OH WOW! Dean's is never surprised when I give him presents cause he knows most of them but this was a TRUE surprise so it was AWESOME!
Dean and his knifes! He is in Love!
Later that day, after sweetish pancakes we went to an Orange Orchard called the Orange Patch to get fresh Oranges! They taste amazing by the way! So here are a few pictures of it.
After the Orchard we went to the park by our house to let the Children Play! and PLAY they did! They didn't want to leave! The Kiddos playing hard...
Ashlee!
Kayden!
Allyssa!

Then we went home and had Ice Cream Cake! Dean and I both do not like real cake so we have other treats on our Birthdays! This year he choose Ice Cream Cake!
Cheese!
Cheese!
Blowing out the candles. I laughed at the kids faces in this one!
After cake we said our good byes cause it was an early morning for all of us the next day! We had a great time with them and are so glad they got to come and visit!
