Thanksgiving

We had a two wonderful Thanksgivings this year. On Thursday Kimmy hosted us to a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at her new apartment in Modesto. We are happy to have Kimmy back in California and able to celebrate Thanksgiving with her. After our wonderful dinner we headed home to get the kids and Jenny to bed early for a busy day on Friday. Jenny started her day at 2:30am to get to Wal-Mart by 3:00am for Black Friday shopping. She was able to get everything she wanted and a few extra things and be out the door by 5:15am. We then packed the kids up and started our drive to Truckee to spend Friday with the Halstead’s at a cabin that Greg and Denise had rented. As always Steve had to put chains on the van. Each time he does it he gets faster. I think he did it this time in about 20minutes. Once we got to Truckee we found the house the Greg and Denise had rented for the week and got settled in. We got everyone dressed in their snow gear and headed out to play in the snow. Austin, Reagan, Kaitlyn, Steve and Scott had a great time sledding. Sydney and Lucas didn’t like anything about the snow or the clothes. We took some good family pictures and went back in the warm house to get ready for another wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. After dinner we were able to sit and watch it snow all night and have all the kids playing together. Dinner was wonderful and the dessert was great. We had a fun couple of days with lots of memories made. We can’t wait until next year when all the kids will be a year older.
