Thanksgiving & Morgantown

This Thanksgiving weekend we went and spent it with Josh's brother, Jacob & his family, Julia, Loraya & Isaac, who just moved to Morgantown, West Virginia. So after Josh finished working on Wednesday we loaded up the car and the kids and headed off to Morgantown, which is suppose to be about a 6 1/2 hour drive. We left our house around 3pm and FINALLY got to their home at 11pm. It was a VERY LONG "6 1/2 hour drive." We hit a lot of traffic in Cincinnati, which was going very slow. There was so many cars on the road, plus it was raining that there were a lot of accidents, but we did finally make it there to have a great weekend with Jacob & Julia!

Thanksgiving Day!

Here Josh & Jacob are making the pies for Thanksgiving dinner. Julia & I left to go get stuff for a 7 layer dip and when we returned the boys had made 2 pies & sweet potatoes. What wonderful husbands we have! Everything turned out REALLY good. We were grateful to join up with some wonderful people that Jacob & Julia have met and we all celebrated together at the institute building. We had GREAT food, GREAT company, and lots of fun games to play. It was a fun day, even though we missed all of our normal Thanksgiving traditions and ALL of our family.

Look at all of that good food.
Yum, Yum, Yum!!

This is a picture of the picture of a Turkey that Megan drew on the board. I think that she did awesome. She drew everything, except I wrote turkey. And even check out her cute pants that she is wearing, we got them for a couple of bucks and the local flea market, what a deal!
Black Friday

Julia & I got up at 4:30 in the morning to make it to Wal-mart in the morning at 5am. We both forgot our cameras but WOW, the lines were Sooooooooooooo LONG! We only had to wait in line to get into Target, and it was FREEZING. But it was a lot of fun and is always a rush to run in and get items. We both ended up with great deals, and everything that we didn't find at the store we got on-line with FREE shipping. We later stopped by Best Buy to check out more deals and let the kids rock out to "Rock Band".

We later went out to eat at our favorite restaurant, Cheddars!



Scenic Morgantown

Morgantown is a very pretty area, and so interesting how people build everything up on these hills. I tried my best to take pictures, but really it does it no justice.

Cooper's Rock

Jacob & Julia took us up to Cooper's Rock to check out the scenic views. It was so pretty, even though the trees were all bare. It was a lot of fun to let the kids play around in the leaves. While we were there Bryson was just loving his Uncle Jacob, he was just laughing at him, it was really cute.

Jacob would throw all the leaves up in the air, and Josh caught a picture after he had thrown all the leaves.

We had TON of fun with Jacob, Julia, Loraya & Isaac. Thank you so much for letting us come crash your house for Thanksgiving. We look forward to many more holidays together now that we live closer.

Our drive home was A LOT better, we took a different route so that we wouldn't have to go through 2 big cities. We made it home in normal time with no screaming kids. Now we just have some catching up to do.
