Thanksgiving Weekend

You gotta love Thanksgiving with all the good food and the good conversations and the good nap that follows all that. Right?

I had a fun Thanksgiving.... Toph and Brit came up and so did my sister Becca and her boyfriend JR (otherwise known as JAR by Casen or AIFF by Crew). We hung out a few nights with Toph and Brit and Becca and JR and just sat around and talked and watched movies. And Casen got to play with his favorite playmate "Hallebugs." Thanksgiving dinner was awesome once again at Nan and Norms house and Nan always does such a good job at cooking all the major stuff. She let us bring some Carmel Apple Cookies and Chocolate Covered Strawberries this year, but I never feel like she lets me  help enough with the cooking. I need to learn how to do all that Turkey stuff someday, so I can help with it too. Toph and Brit were there and so were Mandy and Reg and their families. Becca and JR ate with us too. (I feel bad too cause Cade was there with us too, but I did not get any pics of him. Oops!)

Then afterwards the girls sat around and talked while the guys watched the Dallas game. And then we all went home to our separate houses and finished watching the game. And I actually got a nap in, which was amazing! My younger kids slept for a couple hours. 

The rest of the weekend, we ate out a couple times, hung out at Mandys and had some girl talk and let the kids play. Toph and Brit went home Friday, but Becca and JR stayed a little  longer till Saturday. We took them ice skating and in our hot tub. Oh and don't forget, we ate dinner at Sam's Club that night too cause Matt is always up for a good bargain! 

JR and Becca had to go home Saturday about noon, but Corey had her dance show around 4:00 PM at Novemberfest, so our family got to go and support her. Her dances were adorable and she is so good and fun to watch! But little Crew was a pain in the butt and it was so crowded and hard to maneuver around with little ones. It was almost worst than church with a 10 month old. I was excited to get home. Grandma Nanny came too, to watch Corey! 

This weekend was fun! My kids even slept in till 10:00 and 10:30 two days in a row and me and Matt were loving that. I have not got to sleep in that late in years! We were spoiled this weekend. I am so grateful for family and for all the blessings Matt and I have been blessed with. We have a beautiful house and a beautiful family and Matt has a great job. And I love having Britt and Mandy around cause they feel like sisters when my sisters are father away and not able to be with me every holiday!  But it was also nice to have Becca here too. I wish  I could have my whole family with me at every holiday, but I know I can't.  But I love having at least one of my family members  here with me. Love ya Beccs!
