Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. What was going to be a small gathering at our house turned out to be 21 people. It was a lot of fun and nice to not have to travel anywhere. Being in the car too long right now is not fun. We supplied the turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy and rolls, everyone else brought a side dish to share. I guess I should back up to Wednesday. Jacob had been coughing and it was getting worse Tuesday and Wednesday so Wednesday morning I took him to the doctor. He has bronchitis. What a great way to spend Thanksgiving. His medicine actually started working quickly and he was able to sleep through the night on Wednesday night. He is still on medication but doing much better.

Sean's brother, Adam, and his family came in town from Michigan. It was great to see them. They stayed here Wednesday night then went to Fredericksburg to stay with Sean's parents. Nana and grandpa took our kids with them, so we were without kids from Thanksgiving night until Saturday afternoon. We finished our Christmas shopping on Friday morning. My goal was to finish early in case Lucy decides to make her appearance early. Friday evening we went to see Twilight, we thought it was pretty good. And went out to dinner to see everyone before the big wedding on Saturday.

Saturday morning we went to the temple to be with my little sister Heidi as she was married to Christian (Congratulations!!). We then headed to Woodbridge to get our kids back and go to the reception. I will post pictures later today or tomorrow. It was fun to watch the little girls that were at the wedding follow Heidi around in her "beautiful dress". They could not get enough of her with her dress and flowers. As my sister said' "this is where little girls big wedding dreams begin". My niece Corrine made the comment that, "Heidi was the most important person there because she was the bride".

It was a very busy weekend but also a lot of fun. It is nice to be back into our regular groove too.
