Or at least it was a party at our house, over the Thanksgiving holiday! Our friends, the Whipple's, traveled to good old MO from Kansas to celebrate the Holiday with us. It's a good thing too, because Morgan cooked the Turkey - and saved me from having to figure that part out for myself!
The weekend was full of FOOD, Christmas movies, decorating the Tree, Golf and Video games (for the boys at least), Sewing, Shopping in Saint Louis - oh and Food.
The day of Thanksgiving was great! The girls helped me to set the table and we were all so proud of the finished product! They are such good helpers!!
Its amazing how hard you can work on preparing a meal, to have it finished in about 20 minutes! It was worth it though, we enjoyed every bite on Thanksgiving (and for a couple days after too!)
Here is what Andy and Corky did a lot of (can you say Halo Reach?) Andy doesn't get the opportunity to play video games very often, so he and Corky jumped at the chance!
Apparently the sofa wasn't close enough to the TV, so they parked it on the coffee table. Looks super comfortable, right?
The Girls decided they would help me out by taking care of Noah's unruly hair (I don't do his hair every day, because there just isn't much there). The girls did a great job though, and we got a good laugh out of it. Noah was very patient and let them make him over.
Noah loves Gracey and Emily! When he saw that they were here he ran around in circles, squealing with joy. He gave them lots of hugs, watched Rudolf with them, Jumped in the love sac and of course, let them make him over.
We decided to take a day trip to Saint Louis to show the Whipple's around, since they had never been. We stopped at the Arch, had a little picnic in the back of the car and then, of course, headed to the mall. It was freezing, but we still enjoyed ourselves!!
That's right friends, that's NieNie herself, and her Ma too! They were SO nice, I can't even tell you. It was great being able to chat with them...and certainly made my day.
So, as you can obviously see, we had a great weekend...and you even get a nice peek at the bump. The picture isn't super flattering of me, but you get the idea. We had a wonderful time and now can't wait for CHRISTMAS, and I am pretty sure my parents and the rest of the Jorgensen clan can't wait either!!
