Thanksgiving 2010

This year we continued our tradition of hosting Thanksgiving here at our house. We were happy to have my sister and nephew here for the first time at Thankgiving too! Time went by way too fast, we are sad they are all gone but can't wait to see them all again with Christmas right around the corner.

Beautiful flowers that Lindsay & Greg sent (we missed them this year)!

Cindy & Drew all decked out for the A&M/t.u. game! Gig'em!

Mimi playing with the kiddos! Notice, their bibs! They were too cute to eat with, for pics only :o)

Cousins, sharing...awww!

Our little Diva...the pic below she is "talking" on her cell phone!

Grammy & Katelyn...here's a better pic of her bib too! Gobble Gobble!

Pops & Drewski

Cousins... I am so happy they are so close in age, can't wait to watch them grow up together!

Pappy, Katelyn & Mikey (of course) reading the newspaper, so sweet!

Katelyn got really good at giving Drew his paci back to him whenever she found one lying around.

Awww, how much cuter could he get! Love it!!!

Thanksgiving Day Dinner, Ciomperliks (Julie, Clayton, Logan & Cole), Grammy, Pappy, Mimi, Pops, Aunt Cindy, Cousin Drew & Lex...notice I did't quite make it :(

I had ANOTHER Thyroid surgery on Tuesday of this past week. We planned it so that we would have plenty of family here to help while I was at the hospital and at home recovering. Well, the outpatient procedure turned into basically Tuesday - Friday in the hospital. Yuck! I was released on Wednesday afternoon feeling great, went home and at 3 am woke up realizing that I could feel some swelling in my throat, scared of not being able to breathe if the swelling got worse we headed to the ER where they admitted me and gave me some drugs to reduce the swelling, but wouldn't let me go until Friday morning for observation. Overall, I think it was a blessing since I was pretty much forced to lay in bed and relax for another 24 hours. Anyways, I go back Tuesday to get my stitches out, so hopefully by that point I will start feeling back to normal a little bit.

We are very thankful to have had our families here to take wonderful care of Katelyn. I did not worry at all about her, I knew she was being spoiled to death and loving every minute of it. I worried more about her wearing out her Aunt & Grandparents :) Although when I came home, she sure gave me a warm welcome! I sure love a good cuddle from my baby girl.

This Thanksgiving we are most Thankful for our Family!!! (As always, but very very thankful for their help this week)! We love you all!
