Gobble till ya Wobble!

This Thanksgiving was such a wonderful holiday! I am so grateful for my family and for all the loving people I have in my life. Thanksgiving started early this year, because Paul asked me what I wanted for Christmas about a month ago - and I told him that this year for Christmas I just wanted to have some Happy Holiday memories. (Since some of our Holidays have been less than...uh... happy). So he decided that he was going to start with Thanksgiving and give me two Happy Holidays!!! He suggested that we stay out at my Mom's house the night before Thanksgiving so that I could get up and help my mom with all the cooking. This idea THRILLED me!! I miss my parents so much and was SO EXCITED to get to stay out at their house with them. (I was also excited because it reminded me of when I was a little girl. I would always go stay over at my Grandma Lundeen or Grandma Swanson's house - depending on whose year it was - the night before to spend time with them and to help them get everything ready for the Thanksgiving dinner.) The night was great! I helped my Mom make the pies, we ate pizza, and just sat around and talked. We didn't get a whole lot of sleep - Carson and Jaedyn don't do very well when they aren't in their own beds - but it was still fun!! We got up Thanksgiving morning, made breakfast casserole & sweet rolls. Paul was such a sweetheart and totally took care of the kids so that I could help my mom by making rolls, green bean casserole, setting up tables and chairs, setting the table and getting everything ready for the big meal. We had such a wonderful and yummy dinner and it was so fun to get to have most of my family around. I even had my Dad take our family picture- since we were all cleaned up. I just LOVE my Christmas present Paul - THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
