This year we spent Thanksgiving with Nate's family. The kids and I drove down there and stayed for the day, eating and playing! Nate was on duty, but got to drive over and have some Thanksgiving lunch with us. After that he started a monster week, working everyday that weekend and now everyday this week. The kids enjoyed spending some time with their dad, even if he was answering the "bat" phone every 5 minutes! Unfortunately people find ways to hurt themselves or get sick on holidays. :) The kids had a blast playing with Sarah, Meagan, and Morgan. We found out there are 1001 ways to destroy brand new playdough! Poor Carolyn, I think I owe her a new supply! LOL Carolyn was so great and allowed all of us to leave with leftover Thanksgiving turkey, so we had our cusromary turkey sandwiches this past weekend. For me, it wouldn't be the holidays without those!
The week before, Nate and I had gone to Dallas and attended the 2009 Texas State EMS Conference. We got tons of CE hours and Nate shmoozed and networked like crazy for Pioneer. The kids stayed with Mom and Dad for the first part of the week, before we headed home. When we stopped by last Wednesday to get the babies, we got to help celebrate my Dad's birthday (the 26th). Seth had the idea for us to buy Dad a new flat screen HDTV. He picked it up on the way there and we were all present to see the look on Dad's face when he saw it! It was awesome! :D After he opened it, Amy had to go buy him a new entertainment center! LOL The TV wouldn't fit in Mom's cabinet.
I apologize for the lack of pics. When we left Palestine on Wednesday, I accidently left my purse there. No one discovered it until we were halfway home, so I went the weekend without my stuff. When we went down to Carolyn's I remembered I had left the camera in my bag, so there were no pics that day. A couple of days later, when I finally got around to kinda unpacking (still not totally done, lazy me!) I found the camera in my satchel! Sometimes I impress myself with my blondeness! LOL Even though I am a definite red head right now! I'll post pics of my new hairdo soon!
