A Weekend to be Thankful For

I know, its been a long while since I've last blogged. To be honest, there hasn't been much to blog about in the last few weeks. As I may have mentioned before, we have been working on the floors in our Kitchen and front hallway and it has consumed our days. Mainly because not having a dishwasher, hand washing dishes takes a lot of time!

Anyway, more on that later. We are here to talk about our Thanksgiving weekend! It all started for us on Wednesday. It felt like an eternity just to get out of town! We had so many errands to take care of before we could head out to Grandma's and Grandpa's house, as Bubbie calls it. On Thursday, we lounged, Mom cooked with Aunt A and Uncle T's help and watched movies. When it was time for dinner, we were joined by my Aunt V and her family. Afterwards, Bubbie enjoyed playing outside with his second cousin, PJ. They explored the Great Outdoors, that is my Parent's yard that is vast and wooded in the country. Also after being good Americans(That is a joke between us because the average American consumes 4,000 calories at Thanksgiving dinner. We decided to follow that tradition, LOL!), stuffing our tummies, we all settled in for the evening and watched another Christmas related movie.

Friday, we had an unexpected stop to make to get new brakes on our Mini-van. We also participated in a little bit of Black Friday sales. I went to JC Penneys and actually ended up ordering a new Pea Coat and I can't wait until it gets here!! We finished the day by going and watching Santa get rescued downtown by the Firefighters. Though I think Bubbie was more interested in the Fire Truck than in Santa. After Santa was rescued, we found a man that was making balloon animals and anything else you could think of. One girl even got a guitar!! Bubbie was so excited about his balloon noise maker that he received, he was all smiles. Bubbie and Boo also enjoyed a couple spins on a little carousel ride.

On Saturday, we went to the Bizarre Bazaar. It has become a tradition for our family to attend, especially since my Dad performs there every year! I also bought a pair of earrings for $8, they are absolutely beautiful!! Then Saturday night, Bubbie and Boo had some real quality time with Grandma and Grandpa while Daddy and I went to hang out with my Cousins and their spouses as well as my Sister and her Husband. It was nice to have an evening away from the kids and I think they enjoyed it too! When we arrived back at the house, both kids were passed out.

We wrapped it all up Sunday with getting breakfast and packing up the car and driving home with all the other Holiday travelers! It was an eventful Thanksgiving weekend had by all. We are also thankful to be home to put up our feet and give the animals some much needed attention. When we arrived home, they all greeted us at the door and couldn't wait to jump in our laps!
