Thanksgiving.....Finally!

We were able to go up to Eric's grandmas for Thanksgiving in Wyoming, and it was really nice! It had been almost a year and a half since we had been up there, so Cade was MUCH bigger to her!

Even Preston always seems to grow a few inches in between each visit!


Eric doesn't change too much though. :)

We did have a few guests join us for dinner this year!

It was great to also be able to see and catch up with Grandpa McConahay as well!

Here is a picture of Eric's cousin Ashley, her husband Steve, and their daughter Adisyn. They have since (on January 14th 2010) added another little girl to their family...Brinlyn.

Eric's Aunt Diana, and another cousin Brandy.

All the kids. Cameron (in the blue/white stripe, and Chyann the blonde on the bottom left are his cousin Brandy's kids.) Then all my kids, and Adisyn (Ashley's daughter) also seen in the photo above.

The weather was so nice the whole time we were there. The kids LOVED playing outside!

I do love the holidays, and it is always nice to get together with family! We also very much enjoyed Eric being back home, and were not looking forward to him going back to work. But it was inevitable. We headed home from Wyoming on Sunday morning, and were able to stop by Eric's dads one more time and say goodbye!

We hope you all had a great Thanksgiving as well!

Happy December!!!

I am so excited to be welcoming December here!! Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday, and I love the month of December!

While I love Thanksgiving as well, and enjoyed spending time with family, I really look forward to the next holiday. I love the lights, the smells, the music, the time with family, the parties, hopefully the snow, and the overall feeling. It is amazing!!!


I plan to post daily, kind of like a countdown advent calendar on my blog. (Hopefully I can keep up.) Tonight for family night we hope to put up the tree. I will try to post pics later!! :-)

I guess I should ask, How was everyone's Thanksgiving? We had Eric's parents, my parents, and my sister and her family to our house this year. It was nice to be together, and as usual we made too much food, and stuffed ourselves for a few days. Unfortunately, we had so much going on I forgot to break out the camera.

Eric and I also were able to go see Twilight on the Friday after Thanksgiving while Eric's parents were here. Thanks mom and dad for watching the kiddos! It wasn't the greatest movie I'd ever seen, but it was pretty good ( I am very critical of movies), but I do hope to see it again. (We had bought our tickets online, and got there 15 minutes early but it was still sold out. We had to sit on the 2nd row. Not my seat of choice. Ha Ha) Anyway, the next time around hopefully it will be at a better angle.
