Turner Xmas was EARLY this year. Plenty of jokes about knocking off Easter while we were there too. :-) We added a Euchre tournament at the Turner Xmas this year (thanks to Josh for organizing) and I won! Plus, I tied with Mary for the loner prize. Well, I tied with her for winning too…we were on the winning team at the end so we could have had a playoff but we just decided to split the prizes, so that was nice. It was a good day – Sophie wasn’t great (many thanks to Gricelda who wrangled the kiddo while I played cards!) but she was OK with things. We got to meet Adam for the first time. I’m looking forward to the next time Sophie gets to see him because they’ll get to play together. Speaking of little babies, Jen had Carwen Hollie on Dec. 3. They should be coming up at the end of this month. I’m looking forward to holding a little baby that sits still since I have a beast that hates cuddling.
The Fox Thanksgiving was held on Friday this year so we had a Thanksgiving on Thursday. Mom, Mike, Sandy, Jeff, Kenny all came over but we also had the addition of Grant and Bobbie, and Pam, Kelly, Brian, and Kaelin (for some reason I just had a brain fart – can’t remember if that’s how you spell her name now…) It was great fun having those guys over, Sophie and Kaelin played and played and played. Kaelyn would run around the couch and Sophie would crawl behind her and squeal – they would do this over and over and over. Eventually Sophie would get tired and just lay on her belly so Kaelyn would come next to her and lay on her belly. It was great to watch them play! We had a chance to play too since we had people over for Wednesday and Thursday. The Shmina family also came over Thursday night to hang out and play pool, darts, and games. It would have been great but Sophie was an absolute bear Thursday night so I spent most of the night in the bedroom trying to console her (didn’t want to eat, play, or sleep, just wanted to cry!) Sophie was so cranky at Ingrid’s on that Thanksgiving that I actually came home early with her!We’ve had a couple of full-houses lately and it makes me really thankful for the house we have – the open layout really makes entertaining more enjoyable.
Grant and Bobbie were up for about a week around the Thanksgiving holiday so we had a great chance to hang out with them and play cards and they got to play with Sophie. We didn’t think we’d get another chance to see them before they left for Phoenix so that really was a nice surprise – I know Sophie enjoyed it too!
