Thanksgiving Break

We've had a great Thanksgiving break. On Tuesday we dropped our kids off at Hart and Jory's and went to a matinee of Catching Fire. We really enjoyed the movie and the little date. That night I met with my sister in law Anna to hang out. We weren't sure what we wanted to do. Neither of us felt like shopping and there weren't any movies we wanted to see. After a bit of driving around we went to Chili's and got their molten lava chocolate cake. So good! That was fun to get out with her. On Wednesday we got packed up and left for Thanksgiving at Granny's house. This year it was just my family and my brother Keaton. It was pretty low key but we really enjoyed it. Our kids managed to stay pretty happily entertained while we were there. On Wednesday night we had our annual pie pig out/Planes, Trains, and Automobiles night. I had a terrible headache and just endured the night. Luckily around 9:00 pm my headache went away and I was able to enjoy my Thanksgiving break much more.

My mom had Thanksgiving dinner all ready by 10:30 am no joke and managed to wait until 11:30 to eat. It almost killed her. Ha. She is crazy. I guarantee we are the only people in America who eat Thanksgiving "dinner" that early. My mom likes to get it done so she can relax and enjoy the rest of the day. But who am I kidding my mom doesn't relax, seriously. In the afternoon she had ants in her pants to go on some hiking adventure. She had it in her head that it was just this little 10 minute drive and a 10 minute hike. I came with them and Ryan and I stayed behind in the van while everyone else loaded up in the truck for the drive and hike. Well my mom's memory didn't serve her too well because it took them over an hour to get back to me. I was pretty much planning on as much. Luckily I had a cute baby to play with and a book to read while I waited.

We watched lots of movies and had Thanksgiving leftovers for dinner and more pie. It was relaxing and nice. On Friday we got up and slowly got ready to leave. We left after lunch. That night I went to my friends soup and pie night. Her family has that tradition the day after Thanksgiving. They also invite friends to it. They had tons of delicious soups and they had a ridiculous amount of pie. It was awesome! They had so many flavors. It was so yummy. I even dreamed about the pie that night. Scott didn't want to go so I took Ryan and we had a grand time.

On Saturday Scott took the kids on a fun Saturday adventure and left Ryan and I to have a few quiet hours at home. They went to Burger King, Petco, and Best Buy. Ryan and I crocheted and watched some movies.

Gabby kept wanting to hold baby Ryan.
