Thanksgiving, Moving & Decorating the Tree

We have had a busy month!  After finding out we were having a baby, we decided to move to our own place.  We found a brand new house for Brigham City we could rent for a great price and will stay here until Jared can get his MBA.  

It is so nice living somewhere people haven't lived before you!  We still don't have grass, but had sprinklers put in as of yesterday.  It is a cute little place!  We have 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms so there is plenty of room for our little family.  Cam loves running from room to room, or playing puppies and crawling and barking from room to room. :)

We got settled a few days before Thanksgiving.  It was so nice to not be living out of boxes, bins and suitcases!  We decorated the tree the night before Thanksgiving so we could come home to some Christmas cheer!

 Cam knew just what to do!  He started grabbing ornaments and shoving them into one section of the tree.

 He had to check out each one before he put it on.

We also got some new couches!  Jared spoiled me and got them for me as an early Christmas gift.  We had to wait for RC Willey to deliver them so we had to sit on the ground for about a week. :)  My bum will never be the same.
The night before Thanksgiving we went down to Layton because my parents were having a Surf n' Swim party for all the grandkids.  I had been telling Cam about it for 2 weeks and he would squeal with excitement anytime we talked about swimming with the cousins.  We had pizza and swam our hearts out.  Camden would scream every time the waves would come on.  He was so sad to get out of the pool when it was time to leave.

For Thanksgiving we went to Jared's Aunt's house in Kaysville and ate with his extended family.  It was fun to have such a big Thanksgiving!

We came home that night and I battled the crowds at the Brigham City Walmart.  Boy, was that horrible.  I think it was worse this year because I was pregnant and could smell everything.  Jared calls it my super sniffer.  There were some stinky people there!  It was all I could do not to gag, but I got what I went for.  I think the whole city was there, seeing as there aren't many other places to shop.  Gotta love Brigham!
