Happy Thanksgiving!



Sorry, I actually thought I had updated this!

We had a great Thankgiving in MI. Nick and I drove up the Saturday before Thanksgiving very early. I wanted to make it there before kickoff of the UM/OSU game. I made it, but the game sucked anyway! On Sunday, we attended to Kathy Stone's baby shower. She looked great and received some wonderful (and monkey filled) gifts. We can't wait for another little Stone to arrive in January. Her due date is Kris's birthday!


After the shower, Nick and I drove over to my cousin, Alicia's house for the Zebrowski Thanksgiving. They really do a wonderful Thanksgiving. It was great to see everyone there. I really can't believe how big everyone is getting (I mean Sarah is taller than me!). Nick loved crawling around and playing with all the bigger kids (and meeting the family) and I enjoyed getting to talk to everyone. After that, we retreated to my parents house for a few days of quiet!
Kris, Ryan, Emma and my mom showed up on Wednesday. Kris stayed home from work on Monday and Tuesday to get Ryan to school and Emma to swim. He also got to attend Ryan's 1st Parent-Teacher Conference. We're happy with his progress, but not sure it's enough. I'm sure I'll mention more about this in the future. He also got to take Emma to the movies - her first time!
We had a great Thankgiving at the Stone's house. All the food was wonderful. And we played a fun game, that kept us all entertained. The kids were entertained by their Christmas gifts given early and an easel for them to color on!
Thursday night, my mom and attempted to go to Toys R Us, but we were only going for book for Emma, so when the line was around the store (outside) and down the lane to the mall, we headed for home. We were up early on Friday (me at 2:30 because of Nick) and out shopping. We did great and didn't think it was too bad out there.
Saturday, we visited my Grandmother for the Knoll Thanksgiving. We were excited to see Uncle Mike, Aunt Cindy, Greg, Carly, Jake and Ali in from Atlanta. We've seen them 3 times this year! I don't think we've ever seen them this much! We had a wondeful time and the kids resurrected the famous Knoll game of 'What You Want?'. In our day, it was actually waiter, but since we didn't trust the kids with food or drink yet, it was just imaginary.
On Sunday, we hot footed it out of there, with my mom following in our car. With a short stop at Ikea to replace some bowls I broke, we made it home and got everyone to bed!
Sorry that I have no more pictures. Nick learned to do stairs at Aunt Sally's and that is the only time I took out the camera the whole time!
