THANKSGIVING!!!

Well, I guess I should post some Thanksgiving pics.... We went to my parents' house in Nevada (since I haven't been in .... 3 years....) and most of my siblings were there - the oldest 4 were not :(

Thanksgiving dinner was nice. Not too hectic... we made the little kids eat outside. Like I said, the 7 youngest were there w/ their families and my cousin, Sara came with her friend. She's my age, but me - being the shy, awkward person I am - didn't talk to her much.

We all played dodge ball on Thursday night. My Dad had to open the building for us, so he stayed and sat there with Nadja and about 5 -7 little kids. I'm sure he was proud of his 'riggins' who got SPANKED by the "in-law" kids. It was still really fun though. Everyone commented on how good Shane was :)

Friday was a lazy day. Janell and Dan had their tennis rackets so the 4 of us went to the high school and played for a little while. I don't feel so bad about my "skills" anymore!! (j/k) Finally, we did some window shopping in Vegas on Saturday. We went to Daniel's for a little bit that night and just hung out. Obivously, I don't see my family down there very often so it's nice to catch up.

We drove home on Sunday and that's about it!! Chloe was such a good little girl during the day time, but she is starting to have rough nights. So my night times are basically nap times now. (I should say the word "times" more...)

Janell, getting her HOOLA on with the kiddies!
No, she did NOT pull herself up. Shane placed her there...

Chloe with her cousins, Mattingly and Nicholas.
A few members of the fam...

This is Chloe's beautiful Thanksgiving dress and the lovely little bow that my friend, Amanda made for me. Thanks, Amanda!!!

Some of my nieces - Tara, Daphne and Devri


DODGEBALL!! (I suck...)
Janis, rockin it in her golfer socks!!

Janell had on a super long shirt and tucked it in to her snug pants. Her bum looked LOVELY!!

Chloe loved sitting next to Shelby on the drive. They gave each other kisses and Shelby let Chloe pet her and pull her ears... It was so sweet.




AND THEN IT WAS CHRISTMAS!!!
Shane got our wonderful, fake, pre-lit tree out of the attic when we got home Sunday night. No needles, no water, no mess :) It's going to be fun keeping Lily away.
