Thanksgiving











We went to West Virginia and saw 2 of my brothers and their families and my parents. The drive down there was supposed to take 5 hours, but took 7, with traffic and a much needed break...it was horrible. It was fun seeing family and having Damon play with cousins. Tommy got sick and was feverish and grouchy, but he did cut another tooth on the bottom! The food was amazing!! Super juicy turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, sweet potatoes, tangy beans, 2 different kinds of homemade cranberry sauce, pretzel jello yumminess, cornbread stuffing, and awesome orange rolls. Plus a zillion pies! It was fun hanging out, visiting, shopping, going to parks, the church gym, watching psych episodes, making oreo turkeys, Christmas crafts, making Bakerella cupcake bites, and taking family photos. I thought I took a lot of pictures, but I didn't get any of the new babies, or my sisters in law, or my mom, or the Thanksgiving feast, or the cupcake bites, or our excursion in the van. The drive back was pretty good, not much traffic. We're excited for the next few weeks!!

You guys were brave to have that many children in one house, but it looks like a lot of fun. It almost makes me regret my trip to Europe ;)
