We had a quiet day at home for Thanksgiving. Brayden came up for a couple hours, it was nice to see him. He doesn't just come up to hang out at home. I miss him.
For the first time in 20 years I cooked the turkey a little longer than it needed...
so it was a little dryer than I like it. But hey... that's what gravy is for right????
I've learned over the years not to get all stressed out about the BIG meal that everyone wolfs down in a matter of 10 minutes.
The kids tried to convince us to go the the movie, but Rex and I just wanted to stay home and relax! So we did!
For me it was just a nice day at home with my honey and kids. For whatever reason, I have been reflecting on how fast my kids have grown up. It seems impossible to me that Josh is a senior in high school. I was trying to salvage one of his basketball shoes the other night with some superglue, to no avail..we had to buy new shoes, and I was just looking at that BIG size 12 shoe, and wondering how that happened over night..... OK so maybe it just feels like overnight.
It makes me feel very grateful that I was able to stay home with all of them when they were little. And makes me not want to miss one minute of anything that they do now. I always knew that I wanted to be a mom and have lots of babies... but I guess I never really knew just how much joy that was going to bring me!
Last night they had a Mother Daughter achievement activity. So Mikayla and I went a made a gingerbread house... well it was actually a graham cracker house... it was fun to sit with her and frost it and put on the yummy candy! It's a good thing that I had someone take a picture, because as of this morning.. there is not much candy left on the house!!
Mikayla, is in such a funny stage right now. Kind of that goofy stage before girls really bloom...come on you all know what I mean... all kids, even boys go through that stage...where the are just goofy acting, and most of the time looking... it's just the stage. But they always end up being Beautiful and Handsome!!
And it is an adventure watching it happen!!!
