Thanksgiving is Over---Bring on Christmas!!

We had a great Thanksgiving! This year we were lucky enough to be able to have time with family on three seperate celebrations! We had our early Thanksgiving with Wade and Steph (you can read all about it below), then we went to Wyoming and had the BIG Thanksgiving dinner with Blaine's family, then on Friday we went to Thermopolis to celebrate with my mom.
The grands were all wonderful and we enjoyed them very much! They are growing by leaps and bounds and are all as cute as can be! Kolby and Abbie picked up right where they left off the last time they played together. Baylee and Abbie had fun playing together and are becoming fast friends. Taylor and Kallie played a little together but mostly kept their distance afraid one or the other of them would take a toy or something.
Blaine's parents are sure looking their age. His mom is not doing well at all right now. She had a little fall one day and it takes her awhile to recover from that. His dad is doing pretty well and taking care of her as much as he can.
My mom is doing pretty well. She is just getting over a bad cold but enjoyed the great grands very much. We took them swimming and to the dinosaur museum which they loved. Abbie has decided she wants to be a palentologist.
Travis and Robin contracted some bug that was going around and had a sick day. Unfortunately it was on the way home. Travis slept all the way home, Robin slept most of the next day. I'm glad I was here to help take care of them and take care of the kids.
Tama and Karlo haven't gotten it yet, but Kallie is a little sick today poor baby.
We returned to Cheyenne on Saturday and drove home in snow! The top of Elk Mountain was slick, black ice and blowing snow. I was way glad Blaine was driving and we were in Travis' four-wheel drive truck!
Today the sun is shining but it is still way too cold for this Arizona Grandma! I'm sad to leave the grands, but I am looking forward to returning to the warmth of the desert!
While we were gone. Amber and Terri decorated the house for Christmas. I like it when she decorates it and I don't have to be there. Believe me, it's for the best! That way, she isn't yelling at me about the way I do it and I don't have to get frustrated (because we all know I don't yell! haha!) about the way she is doing it. I like it when I can just go home and the Christmas elves have all the work done!
Well, we are off to Taco Johns one more time before heading for Denver to the airport! Until next time, keep your face to the sun and bloom where you're planted!
