sadly the weekend ended

our thanksgiving was nice.

gavin thought it especially cool to sit at the table like a big boy. my mom had it set so cute giving the kids their own special place. here gavin shows me his plate.

i always feel grateful to be able to see my grandma. she doesn't hear well, especially in a noisy room so holding a conversation can be difficult but her company is always special.

here is a photo of some estrogen and josh looking like a vampire in the background.

new moon really had an effect on josh. somehow he snuck in with us girls to see it the night before. i was so incredibly disappointed. not that josh came, he's great, but because the movie sucked in a major way. we laughed our way through the entire thing. i am shocked at how many people loved it and even more shocked over how many people thought it was better than the first. your taste is in your mouth .... that's what my dad would say.

the worst acting in the history of the world. the cast joins the ranks of drew barrymore and keanu reeves. "things are about to get very ugly ..."

anyway. now on to christmas. my fav. we were spoiled (again) with an early christmas gift from my parents. they brought us a new garage door opener over the weekend! for almost a year we've been manually opening and closing our garage. if i cared about what my neighbors thought, i would have been embarrassed. buying a new opener just wasn't a priority when it broke. eating seemed to be a little more important! i can't even believe how luxurious it feels to pull out of the garage and push a button to have it shut. even the kids are shocked over the technology and clap their hands.

happy holidays!
