Thanksgiving

Well, we hit the road for Thanksgiving. We headed to Las Vegas. While overall it was a blast, I have to tell about everything we did! On the way there, Nadja got sick in the car. By then we were already half way there, so we figured we would just get there, and she would get better with some rest. Jared and I have figured out that we prefer to make the trek, in the late evening, and get there at 1 in the morning, as opposed to drive during the day. The kids can be in their jammies, and sleep for part of the trip, which really helps make it go fast. Wednesday, we helped Mary cook and prepare, so there was a little less to do on Thursday. Nadja was still really clingy to me, and pretty pale. Not her usual crazy self. Thursday came, and we had a beautiful meal.

The kids played, and of course there was football watched!

Nadja fell asleep on the floor waiting for me to finish my hair.

Thanksgiving night, Jared went with his cousins and uncle to see The Addams Family musical. So, I took the kids into the hot tub, that Mary and Bill always so graciously heat up for us.

Friday, we had baseball games for Zach. I didn't go, I just stayed home with Nadja so she could rest. We went out to a park where they have tons of Christmas lights. That is always a lot of fun. Then we came back to Bill and Mary's to play a few Minute To Win It games (most people know how I feel about these games, and I will just say, not a fan). Saturday was just run around day. We went to the red rocks and took a few pictures.

That picture, of course, is my family's best side! Saturday evening, the ladies got to go out to see Cirque de Soleil. It was an amazing show. I feel very lucky that I got to experience that, and now I just need to get Jared there to see it! So we had a great time, despite the fact that Jared and his dad were sick on the trip home. And Riley and Mary were sick later as well. We brought the disease with us, and shared. Thanksgiving is so much fun with family. And I'm grateful for the one I have!
