Belated Thanksgiving Weekend Report

Holy smokes, it's been awhile. When I started my blog, I had intentions to update every couple of days. I thought I'd get all of these readers and it would be my own little cyberspace fiesta. And now, for my dose of reality. I don't have time for fiestas! Bummer, huh? After the holidays I'll post frequently. I just know it's possible! But seriously, some of these bloggers that post amazing things all of the time, if they are caught up on their laundry too, then I'll really feel like a loser.

And here we have Thanksgiving weekend in photos:

Thanksgiving Day. We had a great time at Greg's parent's house. There were 31 of us eating that meal! And 25 of us staying in the same house all weekend. We managed to sleep a little bit at night. That photo of Emmy asleep? That's what she did while the rest of us ate turkey. She was exhausted and ornery and fell asleep 5 minutes before we ate.

The morning after. Greg's sister Elaine, took it into her head that it would be great entertainment to hit the crack of dawn sales this year. She was right. My niece Carly and her new husband Andrew came with us in hopes of scoring a cheap doorbuster computer. We got to Best Buy at 4:15 AM, that's right folks, AM! They opened at 5 and we were about the 150th people in line. The people in the front of the line got there at 5:30 PM the night before. They had been in line for almost 12 hours! Needless to say, the doorbuster computer did not come home with us that day. But freezing in line at unearthly hours of the morning was totally worth the $4 DVDs (sarcasm intended). Seriously though, we laughed our heads off the whole morning.

The next day we took the cousins and kids to the movie, Bolt. Super fun flick. We totally enjoyed it.

On Sunday we had some neighbors over for game night. We introduced Shauna and her husband, Asher, to Settlers of Catan and Guitar Hero World Tour all in one night. Cute little Cade insisted on playing on the extra guitar. It was so cute. He wouldn't take his eyes off the screen, he was that into it.

This was a great Thanksgiving! I love this holiday, don't you?
