Thanksmas 2011

I will get the picture of the whole family posted soon but for now......I just want to get the details posted while they are still fresh on my mind.

Shawn and Tasha hosted Thanksmas 2011 - Britt and RC and kids left to drive to Amarillo around 2 (after making a quick stop by Nanny and Pawpaw's - I think to show off her HOT new Dark - reddish hair color) they got to Shawn and Tasha's around 10 along with Nyki and Jeremy and their kids - who had left about 3o minutes after the Crosby Crew, they also stopped by Nanny's for supper (which I didn't realize it but they haven't been there since Mom and Dad's 50th anniversary in 2008 - so I was glad they stopped by and saw everyone - Dad got pictures of all 11 great grandkids) Randy and I left after I got off work and headed for Shawn's house. We arrived after the others by less than an Hour. It was still late enough the Tasha had crashed for the night - you know how it is when your pregnant it takes so much out of you.

Saturday was so much fun - we ate a great breakfast, showered which when there is 14 people involved that takes a while. We opened presents - I loved my painting of a Cross that Brittney made me! Everyone seemed to be pleased with their gifts. Tasha especially seemed excited about the gifts for Bently (again I will post pictures soon). The kids played with their gifts - they all played with Kailey's gift from Tasha and Shawn - it was a cupcake set that you can decorate with dry erase markers and wipe it off and do it again - Kailey declared who's birthday it was and then we would sing happy birthday to them........Kailey has hung around Mr Wes too often she believes she should sing happy birthday as loud as she can! LOL actually it was very very sweet! Grownups played games - kids played with their gifts and the toys at Tasha's house. We took the kids to the park to run off energy after a huge lunch. We just had a wonderful wonderful time.....Again I was reminded of how much I love each and everyone of my kids, kids-in-love and grandkids......and can not wait for Ms. Bently to join the FAMILY!

Monday (MLK day) The Skogens had left on Sunday (Jeremy wasn't off Monday) the Crosby Crew left on Sunday to go to Nanny and Pawpaw's house and see the whole family. Randy, Shawn, Tasha, and I went to a friends church and then to eat supper with them afterwards - I love spending time with KDO and Family! Tasha had to work Monday so she got up early and went off to work, I did a couple of favors for Shawn then we left to go to see the Amarillo family. Got to see Mom for a few minutes, she was having card club at her house so it wasn't near long enough! Dad, Crosbys, Randy and I met Emily and her kids, Shane, Justin and boys at Taco Villa for lunch then headed home. ONLY regret is I didn't get to see Zane, Steve, Alisha or Stephen on this trip but plan to in March when I go for Tasha's baby shower.
