Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we did something that we have never done.  We went to Las Vegas, NV.  We went for a couple reasons, but the main reason was because Jared's paternal grandparents live in Henderson and when Jared's mom told us to go along with them I didn't hesitate one bit since my brother lives out there as well.  I haven't spent a holiday with my brother in about 17 years.  I know, it's sad.  Very sad.  SO with that said I asked my mom to come along so I could be with the both of them.  I remember at one point we were posing for a photo and it took everything I had to fight back the tears.  I miss when I was little and had no worries and was protected by my parents and had my brother around.  

  We love having my mom come along on trips with us because she is a blast and a great help with our kiddos.  It was a nice day being with Jared's immediate family and mine all together.  We went to a restaurant which isn't our usual and it was dreadful in the fact that we waited in line for almost 4 hours to eat, it was crazy, but we made the best of it by acknowledging that we were with our family no matter what.  The next few days we spent shopping, shopping, shopping.  I got lots of good stuff and we got some goodies for the kids that we might not have been able to find here in good ol' Farm town.  I do vote that next year we eat a traditional Thanksgiving dinner though.  I sure did miss lounging around afterwards and then going in for seconds and thirds.  Hope everyone else had a great Thanksgiving day.  Lots to be thankful for.
