Thanksgiving...

Well Thanksgiving has come and gone. You know its supposed to be a happy time of year, when you get together with friends and family, and it is for the most part. But what I don't get is this; You stay up most of the night making pies and cooking turkey. Then you have to clean up the huge mess you've made, just in time to grab a shower and make it to turkey dinner. And on top of that, everyone wants you to be happy while you are there. I don't know about you, but I have a really hard time being happy and nice when I am that tired.

No but really Thanksgiving is a great time of the year. I love that both sides of our family put forth so much effort to make it work and to show up. I have cousins that come from up north and back east every year to eat with us. So it makes it worth it to stay up all night baking to see them, even if its not for very long.

On Lance's side its always a blast. There are so many kids its fun. You always know that its going to be loud and most of the time, funny. Aunt Melanie makes it so much fun for the kids, its like Christmas comes early for our family. So for those of you that were there, Thanks for the fun. And for those of you that couldn't make it, we'll see ya next year, if we don't run into ya before that.

Next up....CHRISTMAS (my favorite)
