Thanksgiving in OKC

The kids and I road-tripped to Oklahoma City while Mommy got to stay in Minneapolis and enjoy a Thanksgiving "break." She had to work 3 of the 4 days we're away...but I'm guessing she didn't mind TOO much!!

We left Tuesday night at 8pm and arrived Wednesday morning at 7:30. The kids slept 10 of the 11.5 hours...and I must say overnight is the only way to go!

Auntie Amber was here with Maddie and Baby Eli - who we got to meet for the first time. Ben joined us Wednesday night and we had an awesome Thanksgiving dinner Thursday afternoon. They left Friday night...and then Akins ("Junior") came Saturday morning and we had a really fun time w/ Val, Lorea and Joyce at the park by Lake Hefner.

We leave tonight at 7pm and hope to be home Sunday morning at 7am...just in time for me to go to bed and get up in time for the Vikings game Sunday night.

Enjoy the photos!!

By 8:30 last night, EVERY child was scared to go to bed because they were terrified of the tooth fairy creeping into their room while they were sleeping!! Abegail put the tooth under her pillow and then refused to sleep in her bed. She wanted to sleep on the floor...and then so did the other two. An hour and a half later, I walked into their room and A & E were asleep in E-Man's bed with the blanket pulled up over their heads. And Annie had sneaked away to HER bed. I asked Abegail this morning if the tooth fairy came. She said...

Today is Abegail's first day of school !!! And like our parents did for us...we made the kids pose for pictures! Unfortunately I wasn't able to take a picture in focus until the bus arrived. Oh well, Annie was picking her nose anyway. Abegail got onto the bus like a real pro!! She was soooo excited! As you can see...Annie and E-Man were skeptical. Frankly, E-Man was quite concerned.
