Well, our goal was to get the kids all together at the same time...it has been about 6 or 7 years since the have seen each other.
Thursday we made excellent time traveling. We met at the hotel unloaded and then headed to my Aunts house, she is the same age as my sis...so the 3 of us have always been close. We left there and went to eat a bite...we were starving.Drove around and looked at the wonderful Christmas lights for about an hour, Got back to the hotel and decided to wear the babies out swimming. Got to the poll (it was COLD)but they were having a blast...until...Peanut threw up in the pool! It was the most disgusting thing I have ever witnessed...man...you should of seen people running over each other to get out of the water.
nephew and they decided to surprise us and cook a Thanksgiving meal for us on Friday. We were shocked!
So,Friday...we went to lunch at the pub where my neice works, went to the cemetary where my mom, dad, brother & grandparents are burried and cleaned and put Christmas
flowers out.
Went to my nephew's for the evening meal and it was just awsome! He is an "organic" nut and was so PROUD of his organic turkey!!! The kids prepared a feast for us..my sis & I were quite sappy. We ended up staying, telling stories and laughing our heads off till almost midnight!
We met for breakfast at 10 Sat morning and then headed home.
We just got to spend some real quality time together. I had not met my nephew's fiance' so I got to spend a lot of time getting to know her...she is wonderful and he is smitten for sure! Every day was just great!!!!
But, I am glad to be home!
