Thanksgiving was quiet here. Matt was still recovering from surgery and really not feeling well at all. I made the traditional dinner but sadly Matt ate one bite and was finished.
We bought Chase an Xbox (it was Matt's bribery to get him to move to the smaller room so he could have the study). I'm pretty sure he would have moved without bribery, but he was one happy kid.
The kids spent more hours than they should have playing video games, and Matt spent the time resting which was hard for him.
We ended our Thanksgiving by watching our traditional movie, Elf and enjoying our new fireplace.
Matt eased back into work the day after Thanksgiving. He brought Kelsey home that night from school (she had to work on Thanksgiving). Although he wasn't back to 100% we couldn't pass up these box seat tickets given to him for the last UNR football game of the season.
It was the battle for the cannon against our rivalry team, University of Las Vegas. Happy to say the cannon will stay blue as we pulled off the win 23-16.
We put up the tree and the kids had fun decorating it and putting on all their ornaments they have collected over the years.
Sadi was the only one who had a new ornament yet to hang this year. She picked out the perfect ornament, a cheerleader megaphone.
Later they worked on letters to Santa. The girls didn't know what they wanted for Christmas. Chase however knew exactly what he wanted.
They did finally come up with a few things to ask for. Kelsey went all in...
New iPhone
North face jacket
Teal Hydro flask
Sweaters
an SUV
Chase was VERY specific about what he wants, he even added in where Santa could buy it...you know in case he needed to give those elves a day off :)
Lucid sound Ls20 powered gaming headset(white at Costco)
Star wars Battlefront 2-deluxe edition
Halo:The Master Chief collection
Amazon Basics dual charging station
X Rocker gaming chair(Black-Target)
Xbox live gold-12 month membership
Sadi was all over the place on what she wanted (she really couldn't think of anything). She did make sure to emphasize she was mostly good/maybe and adding that she is naughty sometimes. She said she had to be honest...keeping it real. She did manage to think of a few things to ask for:
A few canvases
bottles of paint/paint brushes
lots of glue
white art desk
wheely chair
stuffed penguin
wood ?
We sealed them up with a letter letting Santa know that we had moved. Hopefully they have made it to the North Pole by now, and Santa will be able to find his way to our new house this year!
