That darn turkey

This was the first year we have been away from family for the holidays and was rough. I miss spending time with my nephews and my sister. Shaun and I used to complain because we had to go to several different homes on holidays but this year we actually missed doing it.

We spent the morning going to the peanuts movie. It was super cute but it did GET LONG in the middle. Shaun and Brynlee both fell asleep but Lincoln and I cuddled together. We went to the theater that has the reclining seats which are super comfy but also tend to make you sleepy. We bring our own snacks in but forgot drinks this time (okay really the diaper bag was already full so there was no room) so Shaun grabbed a water, small soda, and a chocolate milk for $15! Ridiculous! This is exactly why we bring our own food!

Later we went down to Sandy to his Aunts house for dinner. She made chicken instead of turkey and I was sad :( I am picky about my meat not being on a bone and this was so it was a tough dinner. Shaun ended up getting really sick the entire weekend too.

After that I put the kiddos to bed and headed to Michaels. I always go here to get garland and ribbon. The garland is $1.99 so I dont feel bad when I toss it at the end of the season. I also had to grab some stuff for our Christmas party I am hosting next weekend. Say what you will about shopping on Thanksgiving...I worked the holiday and enjoyed it when I was in college and I know several people who do it now. I think society makes a bigger issue than is necessary.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
