Taking a break

We are free...we are free to do anything that we want for the next 9 days! That's right...9 days!! The boys and I are off for Thanksgiving next week and we couldn't be happier. Alex has been counting down his 9 day weekend as he calls it for over a week and he was so happy to go to bed and wake up tomorrow and not have to go to school.

NO big plans this week. We are staying home this year and will be joining Dad and Kim at their house for Thanksgiving. Last year we went to moms house for Thanksgiving and for Christmas. This year we opted to take the easier and lazier way and not drive 24 hours roundtrip two times in less than 3 weeks, since we always go back up for Christmas too. We will head up for just Christmas this year, but will be there on Christmas morning though which will be neat. They have never been able to be with our family on the actual Christmas day since the boys were born so I am looking forward to that experience.

Besides that no plans...I want to decorate the house for Christmas and just relax with the boys...and be thankful...
Thankful for them, Alan and my life.

Here are some pics from last year when we were at moms for Thanksgiving. One of the boys favorite things to do is ride bikes or four wheelers down her driveway. It's nice and long and pretty steep which is very appealing to boys and anything with wheels that they can roll down and scare the crud out of me!
