Thanksgiving

I can't believe that it's a week after Thanksgiving but even more unbelievable is that it's December 3rd! Wow! Even though it's a week overdue, here are some photos to recap our holiday. Sorry there aren't many. I just am not good about taking pictures. I let my cousin take most of them, I was usually too busy cooking, so I'll have to get her photos.

As you may recall, I mentioned that Gman had a birthday gift coming from us but it would be delayed. Well, here it is!!! This is actually a combo gift. It's a birthday/Eagle Scout project gift. We waited for a really great sale on last years gear. So that made us both happy! He is so excited and even had the opportunity to try out both his snowboard and his golf clubs with his cousin S. while he was here. Very fun!
My sister kept all the cousins entertained playing fun games while waiting to eat! (which we always seem to be doing)

Hubby has officially renicknamed Little A. It's now Crash! On Saturday, my sister took all the little ones to the park, and they were playing tag. Little A was running and tripped coming off the spongey ground from the play area to the concrete and fell chin first on the cement. Ouch!
Two hours in the ER and 5 nifty blue stitches later and all is well again. Oh, which by the way, are his first, if you can believe it.

A last minute thought before everyone left Sunday morning, hence the pj's and pale complexions.

Now we get to move on to bigger and better things. Christmas is right around the corner. I've been out only a bit and find it funny that it seems like the stores are now always crowded no matter what time of day it is. I don't understand, does nobody work the month of December? I used to at least find some hours of the day when it wasn't too crowded. Not anymore. Oh well, 'tis the season.
