negligent

oh bloggy world,

i've neglected you.

i have no excuse

other than

just too busy!

and not the busy

that you blog about.

busy getting too huge

to reach my toes,

busy getting ready for bed

by 8:30 every night,

and busy letting

my laundry pile up

as high as my eyes...

but i will at least

give a small update

on thanksgiving!

this was my first

time not having thanksgiving

at home with m y family,

but instead at rob's family's

in Oklahoma.

it was kinda hard for me

not being home,

but I really had a good time

with them.

I have

wonderful

in-laws.

i didn't take as many

pictures as i wish i had,

but here are a few.

rob and jason playing xbox

everyone relaxing after the turkey dinner.

rob and steve playing donkey kong.

sunni and i gave up. too hard.

like brother, like brother.

mac and rob love donkey kong!

we did spend friday with my family.

the day after thanksgiving

we always go get our christmas tree.

and this year rob and i joined

in the tradition of buying a real tree!

it's the biggest tallest fattest one!

it was quite a feat getting it home

and inside since i couldn't really help,

but my big strong man got it done

and even put the star on top!

isn't it beautiful!?!

all in all,

we had a fantastic

2nd Thanksgiving together

as our little family.
