Thanksgiving

What a wonderful time. Since Chris had to work we waited for our turkey until Friday. Most of you probably know that we have sea food for Thanksgiving but this year was a little different. Since everyone is coming for Christmas we chose to hold off on the buttery shrimp scampi and crab legs until then. Mimi Pat, Uncle Teddy, Aunt Kathy, the girls, Chris, Mom and Dad, and of course me, all sat down to a scrumptious turkey dinner with all of the trimmings. That evening for desert Chris’s parents and his sister and family joined us for pie. After pie we sat around and just talked. It was nice and relaxing. For some reason doing Thanksgiving on Friday didn’t seem quiet as hectic as it does on Thursday. May it’s because we had another day to get ready. Mom everything was wonderful. Thanks so much for all of your hard work.

On Saturday and Sunday Mom and I decorated for Christmas. Kristin and the girls helped decorate the Christmas tree on Friday. They did a beautiful job. Chris went with the boys and Tricia quad riding and the girls went to Carole’s to play with their cousins and their ‘Ama. Thanks Carole for your help that day.

With all the decorating done it was time to close out our Thanksgiving weekend and head home. It was a good weekend filled with wonderful memories of family.

Family campout

This weekend was our family campout. We chose this weekend because we knew it would be getting rather cold soon and we wanted to try it out before we were away from home and it was to cold to run inside the house and warm up.



The girls had a wonderful time. They even got to show off their camper to friends. The Kempiak’s came over to have dinner and make smores with us tonight. The kids enjoyed eating in the trailer without the adults.

New Trailer.

Well we did it. We broke down and bought a trailer. Chris and I thought it was time that the girls experience a little of what we were able to experience as children. So we bought a popup trailer. It’s nice size. It has a king sized bed on one side and two doubles for the girls. We plan to have a family campout in the back yard next weekend.
