Thankful for our visitor.....

Thursday morning this was the scene at our house....Nick and I were finishing cleaning the house because Colin was on his way up to visit, and Jaya was helping clean up.....but then she was gone! She came back out a couple of minutes later, in a dress, hair done, heels on and jewlery on! I asked what she was doing and this was her reply, "I have to get fancy for Uncle Colin"!!! And this is what she looked like........



I went off to work and Uncle Colin got here and spent the day with the girls and Nick, I finally got home at 10! Boy was it a long day - since it was a holiday - there were families coming in to eat and taking residents out, it was crazy!!! But I made it home, only to sleep for 2 hours as I was picking Mallory up at 2am to start our black friday shopping!!!!




Nick and Colin stayed awake until I had to get up! Nick was so nice to start some coffee for me - I took off and they went back to playing on the Wii! It was a CRAZY black friday, we started at Old Navy, then Walmart and the mall - found lots of good stuff, great deals on PJ's for the kids for christmas!! And other gifts too :)
Then came home - took a nap for 2 hours and got up to plan our thanksgiving dinner....YUMMY!
So here are some pictures from tonight - we had turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes(which I will be eating for weeks now), mashed potatoes and greenbean casserole....I know pretty traditional but I am making another thanksgiving dinner next weekend so I will do more fun stuff then!
The girls are having a great time with Uncle Colin and I think we may have him talked into staying till Sunday :)


Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving, surrounded by lots of yummy food and wonderful friends and family!
