This year Michael, Taylor and Page got to come visit for
Thanksgiving. I think it a year is much
to long of a stretch to be apart from my favorite baby brother. Ben always tells me I get more goofy around
Michael and it's probably true- he makes me laugh and constantly smile. It was so much fun having them and so much fun
to meet baby Page for the first time.
Taylor is an amazing mother and Michael hasn't killed her yet (Just
joking- he is great).
Everyone came to Mom and Dad's house for Thanksgiving dinner
and it was great. We had a formal sit
down dinner, which the kids were excited about.
Alice and Wyatt enthusiastically helped me set the table, fold the
napkins and make name tags. The food
was, as usual, delicious and we quickly were filled to the brim. Ben and I were in charge of the dessert and
of course we had PIE! The Newson's have
a family tradition that at Thanksgiving there must be a pie per person. Although we did not succeed in this venture
we did end up having 9; which my family at first thought was crazy- until they
lasted for breakfast- then I think my Dad decided he liked the tradition.
Thanksgiving night the ladies and Ben all went out for BLACK FRIDAY. It is weird that black Friday has snuck it's way onto Thursday. We went to a couple stores and, although they were a little crazy, enjoyed the hustle and bustle and the beginning of the commercial Christmas. When we got home we found the men had not exactly got the kids to sleep- everyone was exhausted and ended up sleeping well.
