I have so much to be Thankful for...

I can't believe that Thanksgiving is over and we are on our way for Christmas.  This year has flown by. I woke up Thanksgiving morning remembering last years Thanksgiving feast.  Christina, Kelsey and I (mainly Christina) made dinner for an Army. We had 13 people for dinner and we had more dishes then we had people. We even made homemade cinnamon rolls from scratch twice because the first ones burned because we were having to much fun and weren't paying attention. It was such a blast.  Matt flew down from Idaho and spent the weekend and the day after we went to Big Tree's. I just can't believe how quickly this year has past and how much things have changed since then. 

This year we celebrated twice but it was much more low key and relaxing. Thanksgiving morning Thomas, Noelle and I went to my Dad's and spent time with him.  The kids love going out in Grandpa's backyard and playing so they went and played chase.  The  cold  weather (it was pretty foggy) didn't seem to bother them. 

I took Thomas to 7-11 for a Thanksgiving slurpee which he dripped all down his shirt so he had to wear grandpa's shirt while his was getting washed.

Thomas is such a good big brother.  Noelle was chasing him and she fell down so he went back to make sure she was OK.

 

Later in the afternoon I took the kids over to my Mom's for a perfectly prepared Thanksgiving dinner.  Kelly and Dave came to have dinner before leaving for work. We had all the traditional things and wonderful desserts!

My Aunt Paula and Scott came from Cotati and spent the day with my Mom. Aunt Paula helped with the wonderful dinner and desserts. It was great to spend time with them.  I haven't seen them in a long time.  It was great catching up. After dinner Ryan picked up Thomas to go back to his house.  I gave Noelle a bath and after that she passed out.

Mom offered to keep her overnight and I of course jumped on that so I went home and slept really really good (thanks to that lovely Thanksgiving dinner).  I'm not one of those ones who get up at 3:00am to go shopping the day after Thanksgiving so I slept in and enjoyed some time to myself before Mom dropped her off.  It was a great day!!!
