The Thanksgiving From Which Dreams Are Made

First off, a big thanks to Spencer and Roxann for hosting us for Thanksgiving this year. I got to exchange spending 3 hours with 19 billion of my in-laws for spending 3 days with just 1 of Spencer's in-laws and it was well worth it. I will grant that I actually like 99% of my in-laws and I can handle spending 3 hours with 95% of them. It's just that 1% that makes me cringe and that 5% that I really can't handle more than an hour with.

Anyhoo, we really enjoyed our time in Tennessee, although Brick was sick the entire time, so we didn't really get to do much. It was relaxing and Mailee really enjoyed the time with her cousins. Here are all the kids, minus Brick, sitting on Santa's lap.

And this is what Brick was doing.

Here is Caitlyn at the bottom of the slide. I'm pretty sure she pushed some bigger kids out of the way first.


Ben and Matt.

And here is Mailee.


So cute. Well, in the interest of time, I don't think I can go into any detail about the trip. I will say that Brick is doing much better, but now Mailee is sick, and I woke up sick on Sunday and now I am coughing and wheezing.
Gotta go. I can hear the kids plotting a rebellion against Mark so I had better go save him.
