Cristy, Craig and the kids came to stay for Thanksgiving weekend (weds-sat) And my in-laws stayed here too. It was utter chaos and it was great! We got up at 4am on Friday to go shopping for some sales. Craig, Duane and Cody took the truck and hit a bunch of stores and got all the stuff they were looking for, (GPS, MP3 players, digital camera, microwave, toys, carhart coats, pool table, ping pong table, tools) they were super quick shoppers too! Craig was tired of waiting in line so he was yelling "check out #11 is open with no wait" but there was only 10 checkout lanes. Dork!! LOL The guy really is good for alot of laughs. Cristy and I went to Staples for memory cards and to Walmart to people watch while we waited on the guys. Walmart actually wasn't that bad after 6:30--no lines at all :-) so we did end up doing some shopping. Then we all went out to eat. Then hit a few more stores together. Duane and Cristy's parents (who were still at our house) watched the lil kids, and when they were getting packed up to go home they asked if any of the grandkids wanted to go spend the night at their house. My MIL said the amish neighbor girls wanted to come over to put up the tree and decorate for Christmas (because they can't decorate their own house) When she went to pick the girls up, their mom, Fanny asked Courtney and Justin to stay and play with her kiddos. They made popcorn balls, played dodgeball, played in the barn and drove the buggy around - they love playing 'amish'! Actually Justin loves spending the night there when he comes to Ohio even tho they don't have nightlights, Courtney... not so much LOL Fanny also sent us 3 pumpkin pies and an incredible and I do mean INCREDIBLE peanut butter pie for Thanksgiving . Wednesday, when I was getting ready to bake some pies, my MIL called and told me I didn't need to make any because Fanny was sending some for us :-) Yay Fanny!
Hailey & Justin:
We had Christmas with Cristy's family while they were here
because they stay in MI for the holidays.
We played at the park alot, even Breck the dog had fun:
but he didn't realize it was Saturday, date night! So all the young
men were there washing their buggies. it took Duane like 45 minutes to get back.
It's totally normal to see this, in town, where we're from. LOL
