Thanksgiving 2011

So it's the Monday night following Thanksgiving and I feel like I could go to bed now at 9:00 pm and that still wouldn't help me recover from the holiday festivities.  That and I have to participate in a conference call in 30 minutes.  Hardly seems fair that I'll be dialing in to talk HR while Matt's out for Monday Night Football with the guys at the local watering hole.  I want equality!  Actually, this body could not handle being hung over on a Tuesday so I'm going to consider this as a blessing in disguise.

So Thanksgiving was fun.  Lots of activities, lots of people, lots of food,  not so much sleep, too much booze.  The kids had a blast as usual while all of the jesters of the court took turns entertaining them.  I normally consider myself head jester but I think Uncle Tommy and/or Karis borrowed my title for the weekend, one I'm very willing to share.  Luke took his usual 875 turns on the trampoline and Adrienne her usual 600 turns on the swing - or the woo woo as she started referring to it as.  Was that correct English?  You know what I mean.  Oh and Luke learned how to use and iPhone - he's a pro at Angry Birds!  Aunt Emily had quite the grubby little iPhone decorated with Jello fingerprints by the end of the weekend.  And one more point of interest while we are talking about Emily, Adrienne called her by her name!  No, she didn't say Yummers, she said "Emmy!"

My mom graciously babysat while we went out on the town for a few hours one night.   We came home to find her asleep next to Adrienne.  Of course both kids woke up at some point while we were gone.  They apparently didn't hear Santa when he said he wanted them to sleep through the night.

Before I go and jump onto my conference call, I want give a shout out to Big Nick to wish him a happy 27th birthday!!
