Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is all about eating and enjoying time with friends and family. Well we did that and more. We had a scare over the break and Ms. Riddle actually ended up in the hospital. Not going to go into details, but she is doing better now and we are thankful that she is doing better and things could of been a lot worse.

Over Thanksgiving, we tried to do normal traditions that we do each year. Thursday we got up and were all running around like crazy trying to finish all the cooking that needed to be done. Of course I had the keep the girls occupied, so my grandmother brought us some HUGE pinecones, so I thought it would be fun to decorate them. ME picked out the eyes...so the kindof look like owls, but that's okay.

For Thanksgiving we went to Ben's Aunt Mari's house. The girls love Aunt Mari and kept saying all morning, "I just want to go to Mari's". We ate some, drank some, and hung out with family. Mr. Riddle took Mrs. Riddle to the hospital after we ate so we took the girls home to get them settled down.

I went to bed early and ended up getting up at 11:00 pm to go shopping. I went to Toys R Us and got all the girls shopping done. I had to wait in line for over an hour, but it was totally worth it. I went to Walmart, Belk, Old Navy, Target, etc and was back in bed around 4:00 am. I just love shopping and more importantly I love shopping without two little ones grabbing everything.

Friday morning, we got up and went and visited Mrs. Riddle in the hospital. After the hospital we went to get our tree, which is something we have done for several years now. The pictures aren't that great, since the Riddles weren't with us.

These next few pictures were taken in 2011...crazy the height difference in both the girls. 

I just love the big baby!!! The rest of the weekend was followed by cleaning, helping the Riddles, putting up both trees, and of course watching the Gamecocks win against Clemson for the 3rd year in a row. Overall, not the best Thanksgiving, especially without the whole family being there but at least we had some extra days to spend with the girls.
