Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was hectic, to say the very least. I've learned that I can't handle large crowds of family...so I won't be putting myself in those situations unless I can help it. Kayleigh and I drove home Tuesday night after work. I took a sleeping pill and fell asleep somewhere around Nephi and woke up right before St George. Totally the way to travel! It felt like only 10 minutes had passed by and even though we got to AZ around 2am, each of us had enough sleep on the way down to not feel the effects of sleep deprivation.

Wednesday we all slowly woke up around Hillary's house and had pancakes for breakfast. I was so excited to see Callie and Jack that I wanted to wake them up but for the sake of Hillary's sanity, I waited for them to get up on their own. Later on we went to my mom's house and then shopping for the events of the next day. Below us we see Darcy browsing a magazine as we're waiting for G-ma Green and Aunt Lorie.
Later that night we had soup at Hillary and Jeremiah's house. The pic below is so funny because Callie is watching a movie with a scary part (I think Disney's Robin Hood) and even though she's seen it quite often, she's still scared.
Let's skip over T-day because I was grouchy the whole day and would prefer to not bring it up. This is Hillary with her Black Friday loot on Saturday morning. She's teaching Ellie young. Look at how excited she is to be around new clothes! We went to Bullhead/Laughlin for Black Friday and the most expensive thing I got was Monopoly for $10. This year was a bust for me.
Ellie and her favorite aunt. She told me I was.


The chaos that was our Saturday.


When we were growing up, we would visit Grandma and Grandpa Green at their house in Mesa. Upstairs they had a pool table and a shelf with their bowling trophies that they'd won. Grandma Green played Wii Bowling with Callie and just barely took the victory! Callie is pretty awesome at the game. She put Grandpa Green to shame!


Sunday morning at the Divis house. Callie sleeps like a rock! Jack was making so much noise. I felt bad for the little guy....I babysat them Friday night and the track was the first thing he saw when we got inside and he was so excited to play with it and I wouldn't let him. I found out later that he'd never played with it before because there wasn't room for it in the old house. I had a talk with him about it the next morning and we hugged it out.
