Thanksgiving 2010

Wow, did we have a great weekend! It was SO much fun! We had a great time visiting with family and friends, and Brodie and Naomi spending time with family too :)

We got to Ellsworth Wednesday night. Brodie slept with Nana & Grandpa and Naomi slept with Auntie Eden. Ben and I slept in the bedroom downstairs, just the two of us and it was very nice. We were able to have uninterrupted sleep, which hasn't happened in awhile! :)

Thursday, on Thanksgiving, we went to Salina to visit my family and then that evening we were in Ellsworth. There was SO much food all day!

That night/morning, Eden and I went to check out some Black Friday deals. We left Ellsworth at about 11:30pm and got home at about 6:45am. We got some deals all right, haha I didn't wake up until about 5 that evening and then went to bed early too. Got most of the Christmas shopping done though! :)

Saturday was the Kruger family reunion! It was SO much fun! Bro got to meet some of his cousins and run and play around with them! It was so cute watching Bro and Braden Kruger playing. At first they would kind of take the toys away from each other and then they both cried, but then they got over it. When we were at the country club, Bro would lay his pillow down and Braden would pick it up and play with it, and he'd run around as if he were looking for Bro. It was cute! :)

Sunday Bro got a haircut and then we headed home. It was a great holiday, but I was glad when we got home. I was also super glad that we put up all of our Christmas decorations before we left so we didn't have to deal with it when we got back! :)

Oh and yesterday, I stayed home with Brodie and took him to the doctor because he has a cough. It's not just a little cough, it sounds pretty deep. But, the doctor said it was nothing, that people cough. He wasn't running a fever, not acting sick, no ear infections. Just a cough. But they did give him his second flu shot. I loved spending the day just him and I. We watched TV, got some Chick-fil-a on the way back from the doctor's. We cuddled on the couch. And he weighs in at 28 pounds. They didn't measure him, just took his weight. :)

Last night and the night before he slept in our bed too. But tonight he's sleeping in his! At daycare today Wanda said that he was really good, only had a couple fits. She said whatever we did/gave him, we need to do it more often! haha ;) I think he just needs more Mommy/Brodie days :)

OH, while we were in Ellsworth Brodie slept in Eden's old bed by himself two nights in a row! They turned the TV on and he just laid up there, pulled the blankets over himself and went to bed :) Growing up so fast. We tried converting his crib to a big boy bed but Ben couldn't figure it out, so we'll have to find the directions.

Anyway, we had a lovely time over the holiday and it was so great to see all the wonderful family. We are very blessed to have such amazing, loving people in our lives and our children's lives. Love you all! I'll post pictures in another post :)
