Monday we all went to PetSmart to help Avynlea pick out her new Hamster. Unfortunately they did not have any Hamsters in stock but Avynlea was able to find some things for the Habitat. She bought a clear plastic tote from Walmart and turned it into a shelter by cutting out part of the lid and replacing it with chicken wire. She bought bedding, food and some toys at PetSmart and then we went over to PetCo because they did have Hamsters in stock. After much debate Avynlea picked out a cute new friend whom she named Peaches. Her Hamster is super cute and we are all excited for her.
Kenedy and Tyler were supposed to go to California to visit his Dad and family for the holidays but their flights got cancelled and they were unable to find a new one. Southwest was having issues and they ended up cancelling about 2,000 flights over the holidays, not cool. I was really disappointed for Ty and Kenedy and his Dad but unfortunately there was nothing they could do about it.
Kefford took the kids to the farm on Wednesday and while they were there Kenedy tried on Alison and Marge's wedding dresses. She had fun trying them on and is even contemplating wearing Alison's dress for her Temple Sealing. I love that idea and really hope she does, I think it would be really special.
Alisons Dress Grandma Marge's Dress
I had my Wedding Dress packed and sealed in a box and I always said I wouldn't open it until my girls got engaged. When they came back from the Farm they were showing me the pictures of Kenedy in her Grandma's wedding dresses and I decided to pull out my dress. Kenedy didn't want to try it on right then because she had already taken off her makeup and only wanted to try it on when she felt cute but Rylee tried it on and she looked really pretty in it. It was fun to pull it out and have memories come to mind of wearing it on my wedding day,
Over the holidays Andrew Brown tripped coming down the stairs while holding Abigail and fell on top of her. They checked her over and didn't see anything wrong and so they tried not to worry about it. Abigail wouldn't walk the next couple of days and seemed in pain so they took her in and found that she did have a break. Andrew Brown felt terrible but accidents happen and he shouldn't blame himself because nobody else does. It reminded me of when Ryker broke his leg while wrestling with Kenedy and we didn't realize it until the next day, things happen.
Thursday Kenedy decided to head back to Utah and a couple of hours after she left she called me crying saying she missed us, she shouldn't have left and she was having thoughts of us dying and it was making her really sad. Poor kid. After talking for a bit and assuring her we would be careful so we wouldn't have any accidents we hung up and the four of us left at home went over to the Lyons to play games with them. They wanted to play a game called Wingspan but were having a hard time remembering how to play it so we abandoned that game and just played Uno. We had so much fun and laughed so much. The winner got to make up rules for the next round we played and we had all kinds of craziness going on, we love hanging out with Kyle and Nikki.
