It was so nice to take a break from school and work this week to just sit back, relax, and spend time with my family. We had Thanksgiving at my house and it was pretty crazy! My family is 11 people, my grandma makes 12, and then my uncle's family came so the total was 18 people at Thanksgiving. I know lots of people have more but I'm used to it just being me and my parents in this house so 15 other people was madness. We spent the day getting playing games and of course eating food. It was so much fun! I love that my family can get together and have such a good time. There were lots of laughs and not too many tears (just from the babies). I am so grateful for my family. They are the best! Thanksgiving is also special to me because it reminds me of my heritage. My ancestors came over on the Mayflower and so I love hearing about what it was like for them. It makes me feel more connected to them. I love it!
Thanksgiving weekend highlights: Me carrying 4 chairs up the stairs while my dad carried 2 and my grandma and sister carried 1 each. Thanks for all the help guys! We laughed really hard about that one. Eating lots and lots of delicious mashed potatoes! My mom makes the best kind! Playing rock band, pool, and foos ball with my family and cousins. Ganging up on my dad in Hearts with my sister and Grandma. He still beat us but at least it was a little bit closer. Beating my dad and sister at pool. Longest game ever, but I did it!!!! Playing with the babies is always so much fun! I have the cutest niece and nephews in the world! Also I taught Millie to say "Go Jimmer!" so that was fun. And we put up our Christmas tree!!! I think that's a record for us! Usually it's like the week before Christmas. My mom and sister were just excited about their new decorations. And it looks fabulous! Overall it was a great week!
