Three Thanksgivings

Yes you read that right. Will and I had three Thanksgivings.

Thanksgiving #1
We went to my Dads house on Thanksgiving to stuff our faces. It was nice. I went a little early to help make things and it was fun. Then everyone started showing up. The food tasted great! It was a very nice relaxing day. Will and I stayed later talking, having fun and planning for Black Friday.

Black Friday
Yes, I was crazy and went out into the shopping mobs. I first went to Walmart and I was able to get an okay parking spot, grab what I needed and check out pretty fast. Target I was able to get into quickly but not get what I wanted to look at. Kohls was the worst! I don't think I will ever go there again on black Friday- at least in the morning. The line was almost an hr long to check out. I was 15 min late for work because of it. I didn't ever wait the last few minutes- I had to call my sister to finish checking out for me. I'm hardly ever late for work and being in retail I felt really bad about it. But I got to work, opened the store and did my thing. It wasn't as crazy as last year at work so it dragged a little. Plus I was very tired. After work I went home and crashed.

Thanksgiving #2
We had plans to hang out with our friends Maren and Alden on Thanksgiving weekend but they had some family stuff come up- her brother was unable to attend there 1st Thanksgiving so they were having another one. So, instead of cancelling on us, they invited us to join them. It was fun! We talked, ate good food, and planned games. I love seeing my little Isabella!

Thanksgiving #3
I always have Sunday dinner with Andrea and her family and she decided to have another Thanksgiving because my Mom is in town. It was fun and yummy once again. It was a few of my sisters and there families, my mom and Will and I. We had a good time.
You can never have to many Thanksgivings!!!

Road Trip

Will and I had the chance to go visit my sister Cynthia and her family. They were moving from Texas to Arizona and We went to help unpack (and have fun). Will wanted to stop on the way and visit the Petrified Forest. It was cool to see all that but I confess I was distracted by wanting to get back on the road to see my sister, he husband and my cute nieces and nephews, one nephew I had yet to meet. We got there about 8 o clock, shortly after they had started emptying the giant moving truck. I have to say, my nephew Lincoln is so stinkin cute!
The next day we spent most of the day having fun. We went to the top of mount Lemon to watch the sun go down and it was breathtaking! It was kinda fun, there was a couple getting married up there. I see why, it was so nice! We sat on top of this big rock that looked out over the valley. It was great! Then we ate at Will's favorite place... The Waffle House. It was pretty good but when your feeding a lot of people it gets expensive. We had fun thought. The next afternoon Will had to leave to get back to school. That sucked not having him there but at least I had fun times to keep me busy. Halloween was awesome! We carved a giant pumpkin (and I mean giant) then my brother in law Tim set up speakers and microphones so that it made the kids think that the pumpkin was talking to them. I got to take my niece and nephew out trick or treating for a bit and that was fun. When we got back I got to be the interactive pumpkin. I was the voice! I made kids sing happy birthday to me, and just had a good time talking through a pumpkin.
While there I help unpack, figure where to put things and my favorite part, help pick out paint colors for the bedrooms. It was fun. My niece had pink of course, my older nephew is going to have a map/ war plane room, and my baby nephew has red, white, light blue and dark blue stripes on the bottom half. The top half is blue with clouds and a red airplane. It looks good.
I had a great trip! I hate not seeing them very often but hopefully it will be easier now that they live a little closer.
