The kids spent Thanksgiving weekend at my sister's. Mike and I on the other hand, spent it in the car. We headed up on Wednesday morning. Nothing too exciting other then the NASTY storm I had to drive through while Mike was on the phone "taking care of work stuff."
My sister is a total hands-on type person. She had so much for the kids to do, I don't think they had any down time the entire weekend.
They started off Wednesday, playing games and making appetizers for dinner. We cooked all day on Thursday for our amazing Thanksgiving feast. On Friday, Mike and I headed home so that he could get some work done. The kids headed to the mission to take photos and get information for Michael V's project. Then they went to the tree farm to pick out Tia's tree. After naps they headed to the movies to go see Bolt and then back home to get some decorating started. My sis says that her teenage boys are boring and no fun, so she was going to take advantage of all the eager little girls.
Mike and I went to the USC/ND game on Saturday, while the girls continued with the Christmas decorating. In case you were wondering about Michael. I don't think he lifted his head for more then 5 minutes from the computer/DS. He was so happy to be with his BOY cousins.
After a very long day in LA, Mike and I headed back to get the kids. OMG I was dying. Note to self, "Ignore my hype-active husband when he says, the 2 1/2 drive after 8 hours of football, is no big deal." We were both hating life by 10pm. We made it back safe and sound and on Sunday morning we packed up and headed home.
I can't thank my sister and her family enough for allowing us to take over their home. The kids are still talking about how much fun they all had.

So much to be thankful for.
Getting ready to enjoy our beautiful feast.

I'm not a pet person, my sister is. I have to admit, Laila is an amazing dog.
