Thanksgiving Weekend!!! and RAIN

Thanksgiving was great! We had an awesome dinner at Maggiano's...when there are so many people, anything where cooking and cleaning is cut out of the eat and be turkey tired equation is good by me. Actually our family style turkey dinner was fantastic. I do not like turkey but it was the best turkey I have ever had...sorry Mike...even better than the deep fried turkey you make!
Aunt Jana and Uncle Mark were here with cousin Joshie. Joshie stayed with us both nights and the kids really had fun! Emelia drove Josh so nuts with her non stop talking that he decided he had a headache and held his hands over his ears everytime we entered the car! :)

We are gearing up for Ethan's big 4 birthday and of course Christmas. The house is decorated and ready for our Christmas guests! Our family elf even showed up early this year. He has been spotted in the tree, on the mantel, in the lamp and on the entertainment center. For those of you who havent heard of "the elf on the shelf", check out the book kit at Learning Express at Stonecrest. I had never heard of it until I moved down South. We started the tradition 2 years ago and it works like mommy and daddy MAGIC! Ethan is getting a bike for his birthday that Daddy and Grandpa Grey picked out on Sunday. Unbelievably, his first bike is a 20" bike, the others were too small! Yikes!

The rain has finally stopped. To give you an idea of how much we got, the kids small plastic pool was filled 1/2 way up. All it did was rain and rain! Yuk!
