Best Thanksgiving Ever!!!!

Wow!!  What a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration we had last week!  I was heading over to Jered's to help mom with the pies and stuff b/c she text and needed milk and wanted me to come help her cook.  Rob had taken Camryn and ran over to Sallisaw, so I had nothing to do really.  I walked in and dad said he was leaving b/c Jered wouldn't do anything and he was worn out with it!  I was on the phone at the time trying to make a hotel reservation so I wasn't paying a lot of attention to anything.  But I rounded the corner of the dining room, walked into the kitchen and got the BEST SURPRISE EVER!!!  Jess was standing there in Jered's kitchen!!!!!!!!  It was so crazy!  I hung up on the woman with Hilton...oops!  And I got a little teary eyed and hugged Jess like I hadn't seen her in 10 years.  It was freakin awesome!!  So she and mom, with their silliness, decided to film the whole thing.  Thanks!  I'm sure I look like a complete goof, but oh well.  I was so excited.  I had literally just told her that I was really missing her and it was all I could do not to cry when I was talking to her.  I'm never like that either, but for some reason it was just getting to me.  So to get there and her be there, it was seriously fantastic.

So we visited for a minute, and then Jered's bedroom door opened and out flew Chip!!!  He said, 'gotta get more coffee.'  It was so funny!  Maybe not to those of you reading it, but it was to me b/c I was in such shock, and since I didn't see him anywhere, I just figured she came alone.  It really was absolutely wonderful to have them home!   It felt so much more right!  I was afraid I was going to go into the house and hug mom and stand there and have a good cry.  But instead I shed a few happy tears and had a wonderful weekend.

So the rest of the weekend, we did a LOT of EATING!  I mean it is sorta gross how much we ate!  And we played Catch Phrase, played with the kiddos and enjoyed some serious family time.  We pretty much spent every second together--the whole family that is from Thursday til Sunday afternoon when they left.  It was a lot of fun and so much more than I was expecting from Thanksgiving this year. 

I posted some pictures from my phone that are on the blog post below this so check that out.  I will have Jess e-mail me some, too, so that I can post them b/c I didn't take any of the kids with my phone for some reason.  Anyway, I hope you all had a great Turkey Day and were as blessed with love, laughter, and family as I was.  I love my life, and honestly could not ask for more.
