A Great Gobble Gobble Weekend

We had such a fun Thanksgiving this year. Of course, my fam started the morning off with the traditional Mi Amigo Turkey Trot. I am so glad it wasn't raining during our run. Brett and I had woken up during the middle of the night to the loudest thunder and pouring rain I have ever heard, but lucikily it stopped prior to our run. My mom and sis ran the 2 mile fun run and Justin and I ran the 10K. We then ate some yummy Turkey lunch with the Flaherty's and ran over to my family's get together to say hello. I just love seeing family and hanging out. We headed back to the Flaherty's where Kiley and Mindi showed all us girls how to make this cute and easy (definately a key word when it comes to crafts for me) Christmas decoration. Those girls have a knack at finding and making cute house stuff. All in all it was a great day.



Sarah decided to take lots of pics with my camera while Justin and I were running...silly girl!




Little Miss Raylee looking adorable as always.

What would Thanksgiving be without some crazy, fun games?!




Thanksgiving night, Bob and Terri watched Bradock and Raylee, so my parents, Justin, Brett and I could go and see the movie, Australia. It was fantastic!


The next day was Black Friday and Kiley's 30th birthday. We celebrated by hitting the stores for some good deals. I didn't have anything specific that I was looking for, I just love the crazy crowds, the adrenaline rush of grabbing items at a great deal, shopping all day and being with friends and family. Later that night we ended up playing games with our neighbors, the Crocketts, and the Gonazalez's. It was definately a fun day.

Saturday night, my parents took the kids (aren't Grandparents the best?!!) and we had a fun night with the Flaherty's. We ate dinner at Gecko Grill and then headed to the good ol' AMF bowling alley. We all had such a great time. Bob and I got a little competitive, especially when I beat him the first round. He decided he couldn't be beat by a girl twice in a row and I guess I choked under pressure because he ended up beating me 2 out of 3. I guess I will just have to redeem myself next time.









I just had to post these last few pics because it's just too funny and cute. Last night, Brett got home late (about midnight) from studying and woke me up to come look at something. Every night Brett checks in on our kids before he goes to bed. Well, when he went to peek at Bradock he couldn't find him in his bed. As he was about to leave the room he heard a little snore. Low and behold our little guy had gotten out of bed and must have decided to grab some more blankies and sleep on the floor. He curled right up against his little decorative pillow, which doesn't look very comfy, but it certainly didn't disturb his z's.
