Thanksgiving Holiday

It is hard to believe that only a week ago I was attending the Nebraska/CU football on a beautiful fall day in Nebraska. What a great game we were able to see - with the 57 yarder kicked right in front of us. Thanksgiving seems like a lifetime ago and Christmas festivities are now in full swing.



The minivan definitely served us well on our road trip to Nebraska. Only 2 stops each way! We must be raising good little travelers (and DVD addicts maybe). We drove Tuesday afternoon/evening and it was so nice to have Wednesday to relax and enjoy our time with family. Marshall was able to hunt (he shot one, but the dogs couldn't find it). And yes, I do believe he actually shot one because my brother-in-law was there to witness it.

We, of course, ate too much, drank too much, and slept too little. But, we were able to see family and friends, watch football, eat turkey and other Thanksgiving type activities. The boys enjoyed their cousins and we even attended a birthday party for my niece which of course, is very exciting for Drake. Presents, candles, cake and ice cream - what more do you need?



Of course, the time was too short and the drive too long, but it is always wonderful to be with family. Every day I am thankful for my family - I'm just reminded of it more during the holidays and after spending precious time with them.
