Thursday my in laws drove into town and stayed until Saturday. We had a lot planned into those few days. First on the agenda was Richard's Chevron Christmas party. I was so thankful we were able to attend. I wasn't sure how else we would have gone to the party especially on a school night, the only people I know have kiddos them selves and there was no way I would have asked them to watch my three kiddos on top of their own. The kids were spoiled by there grandparents and were able to go to the hotel to swim and then out to dinner. It was fun to get dressed up for the party, we joked it was our date night! Chevron had rented a room at the casino for our dinner. The dinner and dessert were delicious. Most of all I enjoyed watching all the employees open and fight over the gifts.
Friday Allison talked Grandma and Grandad to bring her lunch, while I was at the junior college were Cooper was practicing his Christmas program. After Allison got out of school I took the kids over to the hotel were my mother in law watched Beckett and my father in law and I took the kids to the pool. They swam for two hours, I literally had to pull them out of the pool! Then we went back to our house and Richard cooked burgers and hot dogs on the grill. After dinner we went to the church where they were having a Christmas concert. The decor was just beautiful, I truly love Christmas time. There were a ton of performers ranging from a lot of talented people in our ward, to many organizations from the community. However I missed the first half of the concert because Beckett had a huge blowout!!! Then half way through the concert he vomited, lol. Also I guess swimming tuckered out Cooper because he feel asleep. I am so glad we were able to attend I really enjoyed the concert many many talented individuals there!! After the concert the kids begged to stay the night with my in laws at the hotel.
Early Saturday morning we had the Ginger bread house decorating party at the church. When I say there was a ton of candy I am not joking! Cooper quickly put his ginger bread house together and then indulged in eating candy! Allison was seriously the last one to finish!!! My sweet in laws were nice enough to walk a fussy Beckett around the building while Richard and I helped the kids and chatted with friends.
After our candy fun we decided to take the kids to see a movie, the Rise of The Guardians. My in laws stayed with a sleepy Beckett. It was such a great movie, one we will totally have to buy! After the movie we went out to lunch at Chilli's, yummy! Then I dropped everyone off at the house so that Cooper and I could headed over to a friends birthday party for a quick visit. After the bday party I threw Cooper in the bath so we could get ready for his Christmas program. I am so glad we got to the college early, because I am not sure we would have gotten a seat, there was a ton of people there!! It was a wonderful program Cooper was super cute and people giggled as he unsurely walked to the microphone. I really enjoyed all the costumes, songs, and special visit from Santa. After all our fun it was time to say good bye to my in laws after our three days of fun! Until Christmas.
