thanksgiving

we had a wonderful thanksgiving this year. we had the opportunity to be at my parents house in houston. mom and dad, laura and lesley (her best friend & practically sister), all of us, and cousin davids family all were there. there was lots of cooking, and a most wonderful feast! lots of laughing, and lots of love! i was thankful for a place to be, thankful for family, thankful for friends, and thankful for all that we have! the kids had lots of fun getting to know their cousins and playing hard. when it was all over they didn't want to leave, and begged to stay at nana and papa's house. thanks mom and dad!!!

early friday morning (4:30am) dave and i headed out to toys'r'us to face the crazy shoppers and buy the "santa" gift. an hour and much craziness later we were succesful! we have secured a cool swingset for the kids to recieve christmas morning and we got it at half price! which for all of those who know me, that is an important factor.
