Thanksgiving Recap

I've been a little absent on the blog lately, so I figure we're due for a little Thanksgiving recap.

This year we made the trek to visit family in Tennessee. It has been WAY too long since we have been down there. We left as soon as Abby got out of school on Wednesday. We hit horrible traffic trying to get across the Ohio river into Kentucky. It took us almost about an hour and a half to make it about 7 miles. Not a great start to our trip. We ended up breaking up our trip and finishing Thursday morning.

We had a great Thanksgiving. The girls had lots of time with their cousins. Abby played soccer outside well into the darkness with Kyle and Tucker. Don' t let the dress fool you, she kept up with them! We even had a "photo shoot," but I haven't seen all the pictures yet.

We ended up having a family gathering of some kind each day we were there. Phew! That's a lot of family! :)

Some not-fun parts were that both Abby and I woke up with pink eye on Saturday, so I had to make an unscheduled call to her pediatrician to get them to call in a prescription. They said it was their 8th call for it. Apparently pink eye is going around! Our trip home was awful. We left Matt's parents home and not even 5 minutes later, Lily threw up. We turned right around and got her all cleaned up. I was then a nervous wreck. It turned out, I think she just gagged and choked herself, but at them time we didn't know that. It also rained the ENTIRE way home AND our 7 hour drive took 10 because of traffic problems. I also come home with an awful head cold that was just started when we left on Wednesday. Did you know that when your ears are already clogged up, that going through mountains really hurts? Yup, no fun.

That all said, we had a great time with family, but we are also a bunch of homebodies and are glad to be home.

Next up, decorating for Christmas! I've been perusing Pinterest for some new ideas!!
