Thanksgiving is the the only holiday besides Valentine's Day where we get to do what we want and don't have to parade all over the valley because everyone wants to see you! We fought hard for Thanksgiving but it's ours, all ours.
This was our second year to stay home and it was AWESOME!! We LOVED every minute of it. You get to sleep in. I get to stay in my jammies most of the day. We start drinking first thing in the a.m. Our house smells delish. You get to play with your own toys all day long. We listen to the radio - loud - with the football game on the silent. See it's just a great day and we all win.
Grandpa Frank joins in on the fun too! He arrives a little early for some appetizers and drinks. He entertains you while we cook! I do have sympathize with you though because dad and I are so busy that we don't get to play like you want us too! So you are more than thrilled to see Papa walk through the door. This year we did a lot the night before and that worked out well.
I get a little sad that we don't have this huge family to share the event with because some of my favorite memories were at Grandma Donker's with all the family and playing with the cousins. I feel bad that I didn't enjoy or savor the meal part so much. Until I cooked the meal I never realized how much work and love goes into it all.

It was such a great night! Grandpa hung out for a little bit then left about 9ish. Then about 10:30pm we decided to be crazy and go to Wal-Mart for some Black Friday deals! We loaded up in the car, headed to Wal-Mart, got front row parking, found the one and only empty cart, got in line, paid for our t.v and were in and out of that place in 30 minutes! Woo hoo!!
You LOVE to go look at all the toys every time we go to the store, it's the cutest thing! You walk down each aisle very slowly and bend down to look at things and then get on your tippy toes to look at more stuff, it's the cutest thing ever!! We checked out the toys while dad stood in line. I love going to the store with you because you are so much fun!
After the store we got home, nibbled on some leftovers then we all hit the hay!
It was by far the funnest, most yummiest Thanksgiving EVER!
Thanks babe!
Love you!
Love,
mommy
