So I'm WAY behind on my blogging. I guess I'll have to post multiple posts this week to catch everyone up. Let's start with our first Thanksgiving....
Rob, Grayden, Riley, and I drove to Rob's parents for Thanksgiving. We left on Tuesday night- and got to spend Wed-Sunday with everyone. We had wonderful thanksgiving with D, Phyllis, Randy, Lynsi, Gr'ma and Gr'pa! Phyllis did a great job with her cooking- the homemade sweet potatoes and stuffing were awesome! (we have to give her praise, because the boys always mock her cooking). Grayden even enjoyed his Nana's cooking-
He really did love his first Thanksgiving. He seemed to understand the concept of Thanskgiving really well for a 8 1/2 month old. He ate... ALOT, (turkey, green beans, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, and Gr'ma's famous yeast rolls). And after his huge feast, he took a nap. (Typical boy on Thanksgiving).
Friday- we did our black- Friday Christmas Shopping EARLY in the am. We almost lost our minds and bought a 50 inch plasma just because it was on sale and we were there early enough to buy one. After standing in line, getting the ticket, standing in line again to get everything else we needed- we somehow came to our senses. (i'm not sure if it was the fact that we realized it wouldn't fit in our car, the fact that it was 6 am and we were finally awake, or the fact that we realized that we had just bought a house...whatever it was, reason finally set in.) We gave the ticket to another woman who wanted one, and ran out. I'm so glad we didn't buy that plasma, but it was REAL pretty...
Later that morning, we got to spend some time with Mamaw and Aunt Peggy. AND Aunt Peggy's new beau!! (who is NOW her fiance!!) We had a great day with the family, and even managed to get some xmas shopping done.
The Saturday after Thanksgiving, the brothers and sisters and Grayden drove to Westlake to see the newest Hartman, baby Luke!! (we got to see Danny and Jenna too!). We had the best visit with them, and are so excited about our new nephew, who is SOOOO cute! Luke and Grayden seemed to enjoy each other... (well I guess I'll let the picture speak for themselves.)
I hope they'll like each other more when they're older... Anyway, our 1st thanksgiving was so much fun, and I'm glad we got to see everyone!!
Thanksgiving Part 2: TO BE CONTINUED...
