Thanksgiving

Hello Again! We are 2 weeks behind again....OOPS!! :( Things have been busy at our house. Lots of doctor appointments to cram in before the new year and new deductible! :) We've had practices for Samantha's Sunday School Christmas Program, and family pictures, and of course lots of Christmas shopping! We experienced a blizzard here in Nebraska over the last 2 days! I won't be driving anywhere anytime soon! :( The kids and I already have a bad case of "cabin fever," and we've got many more days to be locked inside house! :(

We stayed in Plattsmouth for Thanksgiving this year and went to Sandy. She fixed a wonderful Thanksgiving feast! The night before Thanksgiving, Samantha spent the night at grandma McKnight's house with Auntie Debra. She got to spend the evening with Debra in Omaha doing fun things and they ended up at grandma's house later in the evening. She had a blast! We enjoyed the evening with only 2 kids! On Thanksgiving morning, Alden, Doug, & Clair watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in their PJs. Alden really enjoyed the parade! He loved the giant balloons of cartoon characters and the bands!

We went to Sandy's house at lunch time and Doug's aunt Teresa and cousin Michelle and her daughter Shaely were all there, as well as Doug's aunt Jodi, Debra's friend Jannelle and her fiance, and Doug's grandma & grandpa Holman. We headed for home shortly after supper and met my mom back at our house. The kids played with her for awhile, then when the kids were in bed for the night, my mom and planned out our shopping strategy for Black Friday. We went to bed around 10pm and we woke up at 1:30am to go to Omaha to meet my aunts and cousins for a day full of shopping! :)
