GREAT - Wonderful time with family. Boys enjoyed their cousins, aunts & uncles & grandparents. Even had some out of town relatives visiting that we weren't expecting!

NOT so great - My Grandma Lulu was in the hospital, so she & my Grandpa Jack weren't able to join us. They usually host Thanksgiving & prepare the turkey & dressing. My parents & aunt & uncle stepped up & filled in. It was disappointing that they were unable to be there though & sad that she is not feeling well :(
GREAT - Food was excellent at both places. We even pulled off my Grandma's stuffing in her absence.
NOT so great - I burnt my arm while baking the rolls...but they were still tasty.
GREAT - We enjoyed a lot of outside time at Aaron's parents & took a few walks, hopefully burning off some of that turkey and dressing :)
NOT so great - I lost one of my diamond earrings while there...and am hoping it turns up.
GREAT - We enjoyed a fun card game of "Oh Hell" with Aaron's brothers, wife & friend. The grandparents entertained the grandkids so we could accomplish this :) Thanks :)
GREAT - Zoe started sleeping in a crib while we were at Aaron's parents & we have been on a roll ever since! We've had a couple rough nights but she's doing well.
GREAT - I got to stock up on my favorite candles at the Holiday Show in Falls City, NE.
NOT so great - My friends, the Carpenters, moved while we were gone. I'm grieving...another one of my great friends is over an hour away, which isn't far, but it just isn't the same!!!!!!!!!
GREAT - Cloverton
was in concert at our church. The vocalists were part of the Praise Band I was in while in Manhattan. They provided an evening full of wonderful worship music & we really enjoyed visiting with the band & their wives during our meals!

NOT so great - My house is a mess after being gone Thursday - Saturday, dumping our bags Saturday evening when we returned & then being gone all day yesterday & this morning. I really should be cleaning/picking up right now instead of blogging.... :)
GREAT - My birthday present that Aaron ordered finally came in. I love it!
All over - a LOT more GREATS than not so greats :) A fun family weekend!
