Thanksgiving

I love this time of year! I love getting together with family, cooking and all the good food! This time of year truly makes me realize how many things I have to be thankful for. I have a wonderful supportive husband, three beautiful and healthy kids and cute pup, great family and friends and a nice warm house to go home to.
This year to celebrate we headed back to Norfolk on Wednesday night. We celebrated Thanksgiving lunch at Robb's parents house. We had a wonderful lunch and it was so nice to see his grandparents and the kids had fun seeing their cousins. It is nice that the kids are getting to the point where they can go play with Brook without us constantly having to supervise what they are doing.
At about 4 we headed to my moms to celebrate for supper. The kids were tired but they were troopers. They played nice with Draven without having any meltdowns even though they didn't take a nap. We had a wonderful supper there too. We were all so stuffed I don't think anyone touched the 4 pies we had. My grandparents were there and so was my sis and brother. My brother and his girl friend are RA's at their dorm and they had a couple of international students that didn't have anywhere to go for the holiday so they brought them home with them. It was fun to talk to them about their culture. They thought it was hilarious that we had a holiday where we ate so much in one day. Leave it to us Americans to over due it on food!
It was a wonderful Thanksgiving!
We stayed in Norfolk Thanksgiving night. Robb's mom and I braved the stores on Friday. We were not die hard Black Friday shoppers though. I think we started at about 9 am instead of 3 am like some people. We weren't after any electronics so all of the stuff we wanted from the adds was still there. Robb headed back to Lincoln with his dad to go to the Husker game. Ginger and I felt brave and took Brook, Bryce, Caleb and Draven to the movie Tangled. The boys have been talking about this movie for weeks now. The preschool teacher said that Tangled has been the talk at preschool. When you are going and what theatre you are going too. The kids had a great time! It was in 3D so they had to wear the glasses which was very funny. The movie was very cute and all the kids were very good during the movie. We only had to make one bathroom trip and we only spilled one of the popcorn's. All in all a successful trip.
