Thankful

Rebecca!

We had the best Thanksgiving! The celebrating began the Saturday before with Granny Marie's 80th surprise birthday party. She said it was the first surprise party she'd ever had and she loved it!

Matt's family came over on Sunday for a Thanksgiving feast from K&W. Matt's mom also made some awesome sides.

Wayne and Betty brought Christmas presents!!

Ira came in from Minneapolis!

He is a punk rocker and true artist but recently did a mainstream music video to make some money. I'm pretty sure we watched it 20 times that weekend. Matt would play it for anyone who came over. Matt also stole Ira's phone and changed the ringtone to this song. IT'S A LONG WAY HOME

It was so great to see everyone! Rebecca was so excited to see her cousins Camden and Alison. As usual I really wish I had gotten more pictures.

Everyone stayed until late Monday and my then my parents came in Tuesday night. Crazy Christina and Sands drove through the night and got here Wednesday.

Later that day we all went up to Blacksburg where Aunt Anne made a treasure hunt for Rebecca, Laura and Jim. So fun!!

Keeping with tradition we played blackjack every night. The house always wins.

We had Italian food on Thanksgiving (which I loved!) and my granny said it was the perfect holiday. It really was.

On Friday we went to Woodstock to visit with my Grandma and Walt and Lloydine. She is doing great! The girls were not shy and loved performing their favorite Frozen songs for her.

Adorable! And so smart. This little cutie can say seven word sentences.

Saturday was the iron bowl!!! We drove to Roanoke and Steve and Ellen had everyone over for the game. Matching bowling shirts. I'm sure the team appreciated it.

Blessings
