Happy Thanksgiving!

 Turkey Day! 

Noni had a meeting on Tuesday night before Thanksgiving so the girls worked ahead so they could take an extra day off of school, and went with her. Daddy took Wednesday off of work so he could spend the whole day on the computer writing a paper for his current class. :P He finished that up and then he, Peaches, and I headed over.

It was pretty much bedtime for the girls once we got there, but we played Rumikub with Noni and Papa after the girls were in bed. Thanksgiving day was cooking, relaxing, and puzzling. We found a new, fun puzzle on Amazon called Story Time. The girls loved it and had a great time putting together their favorites!

We invited one of the families from church to join us for the day. They are new to us, but not to the church. They used to be members 8 years ago...in fact our first Sunday there was their last. But now they are back and we had a great time getting to know them better! 

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had an amazing dinner with two turkeys and a ham! Plus all the traditional side dishes...yum! I thought Peaches would love the sweet potatoes since she has had them (pureed and in oatmeal), but apparently the chunks were too much for her because she started gagging on them and had a nice 4-part puke up at the Thanksgiving table. :P She was much happier with bits of roll. 

She has been doing a really funny "ooo" face lately.

We are so blessed to have four generations of love!

We found out partway through the day that it was Mr. J's birthday! So we had to sing to him of course! :)

The girls had a great time with the teenagers. :) It was a fun day!

The next morning T and I were planning to sleep and just get a slow start on our black Friday shopping, but Peaches decided to get up at 5:30! She had another bad cold and was coughing pretty hard. After trying to get her to sleep for an hour we finally gave up. I fed her and she fell asleep so I carefully put her back in bed and we headed out to the stores. 

We had the best time! We missed shopping with Auntie Nae, but ended up meeting Grandma and Grandpa for lunch. 

One of the things I love most about T is that he makes me laugh. All. The. Time. Case in point: 

 We counted it up and we hit 15 places in 8.5 hours! And got most of our Christmas shopping done! Everyone was so nice wherever we went. We didn't hear a single cross word the whole day. Both shoppers and employees were happy, friendly, and in the Christmas spirit! It was a wonderful day! 

While we were busy shopping the girls were busy decorating! They were having a blast too...helping Noni put up her tree!

These were the update pictures she sent me while we were out. :)

 

We got back by four and had turkey dinner leftovers before playing lots of card games.  I asked Boo to get a picture of us playing cards...which I guess she technically did. :)

 

"You gonna share that with me, Papa?"

 

 Grandma found a blow-up Te for Peanut when she was shopping and gave it to us to take to her. She was SO excited and insisted on sleeping with it on all night. Haha! 

We played Scrabble after the girls went to bed. T ended up winning...must have been his "puked" that did it. Haha!

 The next morning we finished another puzzle and played a few more rounds of cards before packing up the car and heading home. It was a WONDERFUL thanksgiving full of family, friends, and fun!

 Thanks Noni and Papa!!!
