Thanksgiving 2014

Leave a reply

Josh and Emily hosted Thanksgiving this year. It was a last shindig in Joshily reno house before they move an hour east of us. BOO! We are SO going to miss them being just five minutes away.
IMG_0961Papa was happy to hold little miss as much a possible. Smitten. We are all smitten with that baby.IMG_0962

And this sister here, well she announced that she’s prego with a little dude! WHAT!? I asked her just a week ago if they were having any luck and she was all “lets change the subject”. Stinker. I thought they were still having problems in that area and let the sensitive subject go.IMG_0976But no. She just wanted to wait until most of us were together to share her news in person. So it’s a happy sad holiday this year. Family is moving (not far, but still), and a newbie is coming soon.

UFA family BBQ

We had this awesome fun family United for Adoption BBQ to go to. Jon got sick so I decided to Mom up and take the five solo. Because I’m an idiot.

Holy crap. I was trying SO hard not to cry driving home after. I did curl up in my bed next to my sick hubby and just cry it out with lots of whining. LOTS.

I cannot take R anywhere without Jon. He doesn’t like me and thinks it’s funny to hit me and throw things at me, and just plain not listen. Ever and at all. I was SO emotionally/mentally/physically drained after this party. I did not have fun.

The kiddos had lots of fun so for that reason alone I am glad I Momed up and took them to play.IMG_0693 IMG_0700 IMG_0702 IMG_0705 IMG_0716 IMG_0731

He doesn’t look terribly scary does he? But boy, oh boy is this one exhausting. He had fun in between meltdowns which where always….IMG_0734 IMG_0737 IMG_0809

Olivia knew I was coming and asked what pinata I was going to make. Because a party+Janice= pinata. BWHAHAHAHAHA! I asked her what kind of pinata I should make. She chose a cornucopia since it was close to Thanksgiving… Reasons I love Olivia.IMG_0820 IMG_0846This is me making an effort (I did promise Shannon) to be IN pictures and not just take them. And little Monkey slept most of the party. She’s good to me like that. 😉
