earlier this week, Devin and I were grocery shopping at Target like usual. We have such a routine when we go to the grocery store, and our last stop is usually the meats. We were looking for ideas for dinner when Devin pointed and jokingly said "maybe we should get a whole chicken? haha" and I said "...maybe we should!" So we did. We bought a whole chicken.
on Saturday, we did a whole lot of nothing, which was perfect. We left the house for just a few hours to run some errands and see the babies (Makayla, Kaden and Addison) and then headed home to cook. We invited our good friends Josh and Amy over to eat with us. Devin rubbed the chicken with brown sugar and applewood rub and added onions and fresh garlic and roasted it in the oven for about 2 hours. We were worried it wouldn't work, since it was still a little frozen when we put it in the over (oops!) but it was amazing! Plus also? BYU won. nbd. needless to say, it was a great night!
Sunday, we went to church, and it was the first time in a long time we were able to go to Sunday School. We are usually in nursery or have something going on, so it was nice to be in class with adults for once! (even though i was restless and a little bored). After church, we headed up to Spanish Fork to grab something from my nanny mom's mom (sweetest people!) and then to Sean and Chloe's for dinner. We had great burritos, which is no surprise from them! They are both really great cooks. Love them! The kids were all so funny. I love that Addi calls me Kabie and Devin is Demin. She is seriously adorable. I can't wait for her to start talking in English! She loves to talk, but it's in baby jibberish that we usually just pretend to understand. So hilarious! She always talks in the highest pitched voice. After dinner and some amazing pie, Devin and I challenged his parents to a game of Nerts. We've spent a lot of our nights lately playing against each other and I told him that we had probably practiced enough to the point where we could beat his parents. boy, was i wrong! They are just too fast! Still so fun to play though. Once we lost the game, we headed to my Dad and Uncle's store, which is conveniently less than 5 minutes from Sean and Chloe's house in Springville, for a family party with my dad's side of the family.
We love having parties in the store because there is enough room for everyone, for one thing, but also, they open up a few of the hot tubs for everyone to get in, and we play pool, shuffleboard, ping pong, air hockey and fooseball. They also smoked another turkey! It was a great night. AAANNNNDDD? Kelli and Sean came down! I love those guys! They crack me up. I love spending time with them.
I'm so glad we have all of our family right here in the valley. All our friends keep asking us where we'll be for Christmas.. right here! Everyone is here. I love it! I love our family and I love that we get to see them all so often and that we're all so close.
Another great weekend! And of course, we get our first little snowfall on the night of the first of all the Christmas parties! Now if only it would really blizzard so Devin and I can finally go skiing!!
