Turkey Day...Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy THANKSGIVING!

Thanksgiving was really nice this year.  I was suppose to go to Utah with Ryder and Brooklyn and spend the weekend with my family.  Eric wanted me to have a little break and it was a long weekend and the perfect time to do it. Well I got sick the weekend before and I had a bad feeling about going. It was really hard on me because I really miss Utah and my family and friends. Especially around the holidays.  I was sad I would miss Thanksgiving with Eric and the kids, but honestly our past Thanksgivings haven't been too great here.  Eric hates turkey, potatoes and gravy. So we usually do steak.  It doesn't feel like Thanksgiving. It feels like a day off work. Because it is so low key at home, Eric suggested I go.  We had it all planned, flights bought, babysitters taken care for Cooper.  Kathy and Jake even invited Eric up for Thanksgiving dinner.

It was really hard to make the decision not to go, but once I made it I felt a lot better.  It was really disappointing not to go, but sometimes you just have to listen to the spirit.  I will probably never know why I had that feeling (except there was a lot of sickness that weekend in Utah...so at least I kept Ryder healthy).

So I got to spend Thanksgiving with my own family.  Kathy and Jake cooked a fabulous Thanksgiving dinner. It was sooo good.  Everything was perfect.  We never took any pictures, which Kathy and I were really sad about.  We ate and visited all afternoon.  Cooper and Hailey played and played.  Cooper didn't take a nap, which was a first.  He fell asleep in the car home and slept until the next morning.  It was a great Thanksgiving spent with my little family and close friends.

Thanks Jake and Kathy!  The food was fabulous and the company even better!
