So I finally have uploaded some pics from Thanksgiving.....I will get the Christmas ones up as soon as my cousin gets them to me. We actually got some really good ones while we were visiting the Cape over the weekend and I can't wait to get them!
Our visit down there was awesome, as always. I adore going to my cousin's house. It just screams "home" to me and everyone was there and I love that. Her house is actually kind of small and when you fill it up with our family, it makes it feel like it's absolutely filled to the max. I love it!!
The kids got a few more gifts while they were there and they were gifts that were just absolutely perfect for the kids! I was impressed...seriously! I love when my kids get a gift that I know they will love and play with endlessly. That makes me happy....happy for the kids and happy for the person that gave them the gift! lol.
Here's the pics from THANKSGIVING. lol.
Me and my sister.
This is my cousin's (Billiejo) daughter, Josslin..(the one in the blue/green shirt) and Amanda is my mother's cousin's (Christine) daughter. So like my 3rd cousin or something...I don't know....but they are both hysterical.
Ben, Jaime, Juan and Gabby girl. :-)
Enjoy and hopefully I'll get the Christmas pics up soon!
Talk about neglect!
My gosh...
So Thanksgiving was FANTASTIC. Aside from the stupid bridge I had to drive over to get to and from Saco, Maine, it was awesome. And there was a minor issue in the morning that left me crying at my dining room table, but I got over it and the day went fantastic!
We went to my mother's cousin's house. (Are those apostrophe s's right? I am so bad with those...) I have met her maybe once in my life. lol. But all my family went...me, Zak and Thing 1 and Thing 2, my sister, Gabby and Trevor (Rick had to work..) Billiejo, Mikey and their kids, and my Auntie Phyillis. So it was not an awkward I-have-no-idea-who-these-people-are thing. It was wonderful. We ate, watched football, played football in the street....me and my 3.5 inch heel boots felt that the next day, but I can't resist throwing a ball around....we visited and drank and I got to say grace! Until my cousin Billiejo said to me from across the table...."Jo, it's grace, not a sermon." Ha!! And I really wasn't even going on and on....yet. LOL Totally cracked me up. I love that girl.
But I was so very thankful and I couldn't say it enough. Thankful to be part of my family's Thanksgiving. Thankful that my kids were so excited about Thanksgiving. Thankful for the beautiful sunshine. Thankful that I could drive 2 hours and go to another state! (aside from the bridge....) Just thankful and happy to be where I have wanted to be. It was a wonderful holiday and I already can't wait until next year. Yeah, it was that good!
I wound up not taking pics with my camera but we took a bunch with Billiejo's and I'll get some posted a little later.
My mom has them and she is getting them to me today.
