We had Thanksgiving at my Aunt and Uncle Kim and Tim's this year. We usually go to my Grandma Bev's but she was sick.
We all had a good time, my sister was home from Madison with her boyfriend, and my Mom and my brother came too. So technically my whole family was there, which was nice.
As soon as we got to Tim's I told Matt that I wanted to take some family pictures before the boys got something on their clean clothes, so we got right infront of my Uncle's fireplace and he took some shots.
Landyn was pissed at the world and would not smile in any of the pictures, which I have come to terms with now having 2 little boys...
"I will never get good family pictures, someone will not be smiling, someone will not be looking straight at the camera, fingers will be in mouths and noses, and there will always be something on someones shirt".
My new Family Picture Moto.
The food was great, I love being able to stuff myself and not feel guilty. Its the holidays and that is my excuse!
mmm...mashed potatoes
My sister and I planned a shopping trip the following saturday in the cities, she stayed in the area until that sunday so it was nice to actually get to spend time with her. I would have loved to go shopping the friday after Thanksgiving, but I had to work.
My aunt and her friends left at 2 AM!!!! They had to get to the Herburger's sale.
I finished my Christmas shopping on Saturday which made me so happy. I started shopping in July! So this year the Christmas bill was not too shabby, and I even got to get extra gifts for people because I have been keeping my eyes open for six months. And of course Matt being able to work for the state of Minnesota getting over $30 an hour the last 2 weeks was deffinetly a help.
I am definetly going to keep christmas shopping in July an annual tradition.
