Off to grandma's house we went...

For Thanksgiving this year we decided to buck the rotation system and head to Boise. We are usually so religious in our holiday rotation but this year I really wanted to go to Boise to visit my grandparents. We haven't been to Boise in years and I felt my girls needed to have some good fun memories of my grandparents at their home. I have so many fond memories of my grandparents over the years especially at their house. So off to Boise we went, the drive was long, (a little over 5 hours) but well worth it. Pop in a few movies for the girls and they are good.

I don't know how to explain the warm fuzzy feeling that you always feel at my grandma's house but once again it was there. It felt so nice to be there with so many people who I love, Grandma and Grandpa, Sheri, my parents, bubba and of coarse my little family.


The weekend was full of good food, Greg loved the mashed potatoes (I don't make mashed potatoes because I don't like them myself) Matayia tried StoveTop for the first time along with Kaitlyn. The both thought it was great, after I convinced them that it was just soft croutons!! Though Thanksgiving never really fills me up to the stuffed stage I really enjoyed the lemon merigne pie. Matayia also tried Pumpkin pie for the first time, she said she like it but actually only ate the cream off the top!



The playground at the schoolyard, was a great hit with the girls. Bubba too!! Not really for Bubba but she definitely climbed the ranks of the favorite aunt by spending alot of time with Matayia and Kaillyn there. Thanks Bubba!!

Greg commented while we in Boise that our stuff was taking over my grandparents house. I looked around and I think he may of been right, I know we bring alot of work. I am so thankful for Grandparents who have always made me feel so special. But I feel even more grateful that my kids are lucky enough to feel the same love from them. When we left i promised Matyaia that I won't wait so long to take her back to Boise again. And a promise is a promise, see you soon Grandma!
