Thanksgiving

Hurray for Thanksgiving with the family!

I always kind of look forward to long drives alone (I know-I'm weird):  a whole day to sing as loud and dramatically as I want and listen to stories. So for instance this time I started out with Christmas music (of course) then Steven Curtis Chapman. Then I enjoyed a very long time listening to "The Princess and the Goblin" by George MacDonald. Did you know there are places online that will let you download some audiobooks for free?!?! What a great thing to do when traveling! Anyway that was super fun, and made trying to outrun the ice storm much more fun (and I did beat it). Yay!

Time with Mom, Dad, Jess, Bud, Grandpa, Grandma (Mom's parents) and Ryan (cousin) was super good. We played games, watched movies (including an outing to go see Tangled which was was hillarious). Mom and I talked till at least twice- yay! Turkey and Black Friday shopping and sometime to just relax... it was nice.

Driving back today was fun too- I actually listened to the Princess and the Goblin again because I like it so much. Indiana tried to eat my car- but we (me and the car) made it out with minimal damage - go God! Got back and had a very productive-ish evening, and now I am headed to re unite with my pillow- which got left behind and greatly missed!
