I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!!!!!
As usual I am a few weeks behind so I need to back up.
Friday 14th we drove to Powderly to give me sister a surprise birthday party, it turned out really great she was totally caught off guard. Shes going thru a hard time right now so she needed the cheering up. We ended up spending the weekend there visiting with both sets of family. I was also able to get in a couple hours of visiting with my grandparents since we wouldnt be there for Thanksgiving this year. The next two weeks seemed to fly by, work and school as usual I actually got to see Kim a few times.
As I said before we decided to miss Thanksgiving and spend the week at the cabin, the decision was hard but after talking to my mom I realized I actually spent more time with him when I have been coming in for the day than trying to share him 50 other people for 50 mins.
So as soon as Halie was out of school Friday we took off for the cabin. Besides Dixies diarrhea it was an uneventful trip up. Sunday Mikey Paula and the boys came up and spent the day with us. And I could kick myself for not taking pictures. Monday we did a whole lot of nothing. Tuesday Ryan and I skied,and Tuesday and Thursday we all skied, well Halie took a snow board lesson and likes it better than skiing. Thursday night we went to a local restaurant for a Thanksgiving dinner...no cooking, no cleaning, and no left overs to worry about. I loved it (not for every Thanksgiving but it worked this year) Thursday night we had a big snow and it continued until after we left on Friday afternoon. We drove to Mikey and Paula's and stayed over at their house, then left bright and early Saturday and ended up getting home around 6:00p.m. Sunday Cindy and Glenn came over for a short visit. Then Jordan took Halie and Sierra to see Twilight (I'm so jealous, I'm still on book 4) . Ryan and I went to Denton to see if there was any great left over sales going on,,, we came home with deodorant (big spenders)
Ryan leaves again Tuesday for LA. and Sierra and I head back to Grapevine. Looks like Pilot Point is still in the running for 2 A state champs!!!!!! I cant believe there is only three weeks until Christmas break... I cant put my finger on it but I have absolutely NO Christmas cheer this year. I have no plans on putting up a tree or lights. Especially since we wont be home for Christmas or the week after. And Christmas gifts will be cut back drastically this year. I think the last few years its only been about the gifts we GET not the gifts we GIVE so we are going to be doing a lot more giving this year. And being a lot more thankful for what we already have. We are letting the kids take a friend skiing again this year so they will be Thankful for that gift.
Pictures are of us at top of Breckenridge ,The cabin after a good snow, (I love this one )Halie and Ryan taking a break coming down the mountain.
