The last week of November was a great time.
On Thanksgiving Eve, my sister and her whole family flew in from Chicago and SLC. They were here because my brother in law Mike's parents were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Lucky for us, they stayed at our home. They did spend a lot of fun times with his family, but I still got to see them mucho. They are among my very favorite people so happy was I.
Thanksgiving started off very early. Wes, Mike and my nephew Parker running the 5K at the Turkey Trot in Peoria. It was quite a ways away and very early so I elected to stay home with the kids. Thank you Shari for going with them and taking pictures. Wes did great, especially since he had not done any training whatsoever. He still finished near the top.
We had Thanksgiving dinner at Wes's parents home. It was great to only cook half of the food and spend time with more of my favorite people. Good food and good friends/family...it can't get better than that.
The most excitement was on that Friday night. My brother from Tucson stopped by with his family. Then my sister and her family came home after a fun night with my brother in laws family. A few minutes later my Mom and Paul came in after flying back from Hawaii. All of us were in the house at one time. I don't think we have ever had that many people in our house before. It was a bit loud and crazy but so great to have us all together.
It was so great to see so much of our family over the holiday. I guess that is what it is all about. I am looking forward to all of the fun activities in December.
