Happy Thanksgiving! Today we woke up to no children, very strange. So dad and I stayed in bed a bit. We finally got up and headed to Peete’s coffee. We sat outside and read the paper or should I say the ads. It was really nice and relaxing. We do miss the kiddos a lot though. We ran to the grocery store for some last minute things we needed. Then we just came home. Dad played with his new music player (early X-mas gift) and I picked up all the leaves and gardened in the backyard. I spent most of my time in front of the computer editing pictures. We did manage to watch some TV and be a little bored for a change. Bret took a little nap and caught up with his brother on the phone. Bret and I decided to go for a walk and smell all the turkeys. It is weird to not be celebrating Turkey day today. The kiddos got home around 5:00. So happy to see them and what big hugs we got. Justin came home with a new race track that he couldn’t wait for Bret to set up. Nicole fell in love with this purple flowered blanket and a little bear at grandma/pa’s that she brought home. We had fun playing with the kids tonight. Nicole woke up in the middle of the night and the grandparents let her watch TV. The kids got chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast and were basically spoiled for 12 hours straight and I am sure they loved it. We read books tonight individually to the kids. I got Justin time then we switched. Nicole decided she was hungry at bedtime. So I brought her carrots and a banana as she didn’t really eat dinner. So nice to cuddle with them in bed.
