So much going on with so little time....

This year for Thanksgiving we went to our friend's Jex and Aubrey's house. We had such a good time. Basically Jex and Aubrey cooked and all we had to do was watch their daughter Jentry, which was a blast. Then Derek and I went out on our favorite night of shopping....BLACK FRIDAY! We got the usual "things" for the kids & our movies. We started at Walmart on Thursday night at 8pm, then Target at 9pm, and then the Arizona Mills Mall at midnight. We were out till 2:45am shopping and it was seriously so much fun to me. Probably the best buy of the night was our 2012 Christmas tree ornament. I try to buy an ornament every year to represent our lives and this year was a pregnancy one. It is super cute to me!

Last but not least I had a couple of baby showers out here in Az and had such a good time with friends from work and such! I seriously can't believe how quick this all is happening!

California trip to Pismo Beach.

In late Oct Derek and I took a trip to California for three reasons. 1) To have a California baby shower. 2) To visit family, and 3) to have a week vacation at Pismo Beach!

#1. The baby shower was amazing. I got to see friends and family that I haven't seen in a long time and it was absolutely great! Our little girl got spoiled beyond belief so much that the car was completely full by the time we packed to come back to Az. I loved being able to see everyone even though it wasn't for very long and it made me sad I couldn't get to hang out with everyone all day long!

#2. It was really good to visit with family. I love my family and was grateful that so many of them came out!

#3. A week at Pismo Beach was JUST what I needed to get me through the end of this pregnancy. I loved every minute of it. The food, the beach, and the traditions that I haven't been a part of for the past three years that my family has gone. I just love Pismo Beach. We (being the Anderson family) have gone twice a year since I was born basically and I just love that it is "our beach vacation".

We were in California for 9 days and this is the first vacation in years that I have actually felt like I wasn't rushed and I was able to just relax. It was so amazing to have this time with everyone before the little girl joins our family!
