Thanksgiving

What, Thanksgiving was a week ago you say? That may be true but I just got around to uploading our pictures so today I post! We had a great trip to Colorado Springs. I have to say the 13 hour drive was a bit crowded as I shared half of the middle seat in the middle row with luggage while I squished JR up to the window. Luckily we had a dvd player so things went by faster than I anticipated. My older brother Chris and his son Rylee (who is almost 3) shared the back seat. I did not enjoy watching Barney, Jay Jay the plane and other assortments of baby movies. Rylee was a real trooper though and didn't complain or cry or anything. His dad was more trouble than he was. Here we are during the short time that JR got to drive. Can I just say that it's a miracle, MIRACLE that my dad is sitting in the back like that. Please feel free to print this picture and put it in your journal to document.

JR got a good taste of my family over the 6 days that we were there. We stayed half our time with my brother Dave and his fam and the other half with my brother Mark and his fam. It was so good to see that part of the family. It really is amazing how kids change in a year.
Thanksgiving day was so much fun. We had my dads brother and his family over for dinner and we played a bunch of games afterwards and things were getting crazy. You may recognize such classic games as "Beware of the Scare of the Ricky Ticky Bear", "Big Booty", and the Sign game. Plenty of fun went around.


On Thanksgiving it started to snow. We actually got quite a bit of snow. As much as I hate the cold I have to say it was nice to get some different weather and to spend some time with my hubby walking in the snow.


Other events included Bowling:





By the way, I have never bowled so much in my life. 5 games! That has to be some sort of a record.

Shopping:



Rylee, you're so pretty!

And my favorite event, having a blowout on the highway outside of Holbrook on our way home at 7 o'clock at night. What a great way to end an amazing trip!
