thanksgiving break

ryan and i didn't think we were even going to be able to go home during thanksgiving break, but i do the schedules for my work and made it happen. a trip we thought was only going to be 2 days turned in 5, so it was really nice! i was especially excited to go down because the van wagenen girls bought twilight tickets for us all to go..haha..i had been dying to see it again. and it made me that much more excited that all the girls in our family love the books. so it turned into one fun girls night out.

april, mom, and eva me, burgandy and senja

we were so excited!

Thanksgiving day was nice and relaxing. It was a great for spending time with family. My aunt and uncle from finland came to spend thanksgiving with us and it's always a treat to have them around since we rarely see them. they are such pleasant people. We decided to do something different this year when going around the table saying what we were thankful for. We decided to each write on a piece of paper what we were thankful for and one person read them and we'd try and figure out who wrote what. we learned that ryan and jeremy are both grateful for pie and mountain dew..haha

Friday night heidi and i decided twilight was a good idea again...holly didn't want to be left out, so the sisters and burgandy and senja decided we'd go on round 3 for twilight..pathetic? maybe, but quite frankly we really couldn't care. we bought the tickets ahead of time, but we left late and a jazz game had just let out so we got stuck in traffic! making us 20 minutes late for the movie..we parked in the first spots we saw and booked it across the gateway to get to the theaters. 5 girls running across an outdoor mall in pjs with blankets at 10 o'clock at night..it was a site to see, but maybe you had to be there...luckily we made it just in time for edward to show up on screen..haha
