Thanksgiving and such *LONG POST*

We had a very nice Thanksgiving. My parents purchased a second home in Bentonville just recently, so when they come to town, they stay there and not with me or my sister. Can I tell you how nice that is? I love having them close. So we had Thanksgiving at their new house this year.

Kate speak:

nu house = one just purchased

ole house = apartment complex near our home that Meme use to live in

big house in Darnel = their home in Dardanelle

Our cousin Shelby joined us. It was her birthday on the 26th and Sissy's birthday on the 27th, so we had a little cake for them. Then the three of us went out to dinner on Friday night.

Ok, so John became ill late on Thursday night. He has been sick all weekend. I finally made him go to the dr on Saturday. They pretty much told him nothing was wrong and take something over the counter. hee hee. I'm not the only one who imagines they are sick.

He is feeling a little better today, but it comes in waves. He did manage to go outside with Kate when it was snowing this morning. Yep, snowing, Thursday it was like 65 degrees. Seriously, what is that about?

Oh yeah, Luke is cutting a tooth! Yep, I will try to get a picture of it, but it's the middle one on the bottom. And it has been bothering him. He ran a little fever and has been extremely fussy - well for him, which means he has cried a couple of times for no longer than 2-3 mins.

Now some pics:

So my parents don't have a lot of chairs at the table. The kids sat in their chairs on the floor and loved it. Kate kept eating Jacob's food off his plate.

Luke eating his Thanksgiving Meal.

Shelby & Sissy - I made those cakes, just kidding, they are from Rick's bakery.

It doesn't matter where he is...home in Darnel, nu house in Bentonville, car, friends home, Pap Paw is always doing this....honk shoo, honk shoo

Kate stayed home with me one day and dressed herself. I put a cute dress and tights on her. She then added her touch. The shirt she wore the day before, dragged out of her hamper, she has it tied around her waist. Luke's pants that a little big on him, she got those out while I was changing his clothes. They are like knickers on her. Rain boots and daddy's gloves and motorcycle helmet cover.

For real, we left the house with her looking like this. We went to Memes.

Out in the snow.

Eating snow. Hope it wasn't yellow!

Have a good week!

Thanksgiving Week

Since this is the start of Thanksgiving week, I thought I would make a list of things I'm thankful for - it's a given that my family is at the top of this list. This list is of the things that I'm thankful for because I can't live without.

1) DVR - I don't know how I kept up with tv before this invention.

2) Car Seats - my mother and I were talking about this today. She said that back when I was a kid, they didn't really use car seats, we would just go from the front to the back while she was driving and she would stick up her arm if she needed to stop. Seriously, how did we not die?

3) Internet - I feel like I can find out anything on the Internet. Anything. Glad I didn't invest all that money years ago in Encyclopedia Britannica.

4) Text messaging - why pick up the phone and call someone - just send them a note. Even my mother has this...

5) Heated seats in the car - I LOVE me some warm seats. Even if it's not cold outside.

6) Chi flat iron - I don't have curly hair, but it's not stick straight either. I don't know how I left the house in high school. No wonder I didn't have dates.

Now it's your turn to tell me what you are thankful for this season.

I couldn't have a post without a picture!
