This year we celebrated Thanksgiving in Marion at my mom and dads. This year we were short a few. (To everyone that couldn't make it...WE MISSED YOU!!) Two of the ones missing were Damian and Garrett, since Garrett woke up in the middle of the night with the stomach flu. He didn't think eating turkey sounded like very much fun, but he did ask me to bring him home a plate for when he felt better!
We had a wonderful meal and shared a lot of laughs through the day. My cousin Jared had some very BIG news...He and Robin are ENGAGED!! They are thinking about setting the date for some time in June. We are SO HAPPY for them! It takes a special person to be willing to join our CRAZY family! LOL
We walked to the park and let the kids run off some energy, while hoping to burn off some of the mashed potatoes and pie we had all eaten. We also played the "family" game that my sister taught us last year. It was a BLAST! We also spent some time pouring over the sale ads and making our shopping list for Christmas.
My mom came home with us after the festivities to spend the night because we had to be up and on the road early for BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING! Yippee!! It's something that we both look forward to every year. A whole day of shopping...without kids! Can you imagine?!?!
I hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving as well and took the time to thank God for all of your blessings through the past year. I know I am humbled by God's blessings to me, many of which came through the amazing friends and family I have in my life! Thanks!
