Well, thanksgiving started earlier than planned because my work was canceled. We weren't packed at all when we decided, but our awesome friends DK said we could arrive late and they would still let us in their house! :) Night driving was so much better and we missed a lot of the rain that came down the next whole day!
All loaded and ready for the long drive!
J and I both had some school to do, so we just hung out in the house all day. Here is the flood from all the rain.
DK's awesome kitty was only a tiny mad that we brought 2 big dogs to her house! She warmed up quickly though!
Intense game of Mario party!
Wednesday morning we were up early to meet up with most of our best friends! I can't believe it took us so long to meet this beautiful baby, but she is amazing and I am already missing this beautiful family!
After a little more school, we headed to my Aunt R and Uncle G's house to play for a little while. We still had to keep Flik pretty settled so C and I sat with him and their dog Benny for awhile.
I was cracking up during this selfie!
On our way to our annual family reunion! My favorite time of year!
Lilo was so excited to be able to play with their favorite Uncle!
Group shot minus most of my cousin M's face! I think someone else got a better shot.
R hoarding all the crafts!
C thinks R's boyfriend C is adorable, and he was so sweet to her all day! J is sad she doesn't like him half as much as C!
We avoided the bounce house most of the day because I had to stay with Flik, but the boys played lots and C got us in a couple of times!
Friday we went to see my dad and lil sis K! We got to meet her hedgehog link as well...pups were very interested! K wasn't home so we will have to stay more at Christmas!!!
I never remember how many years ago we started this tradition, but maybe like 7 or 8...I absolutely love spending time with my adopted family!!! We started a boys vs. girls competition after J and I couldn't work together and the girls have won ever since! ;) This year was not even a difficult decision!
Boys thought it best to glue their people to the roof...
Girls masterpiece (please note the fireplace inside!):
A and O who he just asked to marry him!!!!! So excited to have a new sister soon!
B was sick, but such a good sport!!!
Family picture as always!
Mom and grandpups
Saturday we spent the day with J's family!!! We loved seeing everyone who came to see us. Aunt C and Gaga stayed the weekend and we had some really special time together!
J and CJ came too!!!
We never get any family pictures, so this time I took lots!
We love our Gaga so much!!!
We had such a great trip and were so thankful for all the amazing family and friends who shared their food and homes with us! We are so excited to come down again next weekend!!!
