Thanksgiving fun with the fam!
So we had a whirlwind of a trip to PA to visit the fam over turkey day this year. Here are pics and some short ditties (<— is that even a word???) on the trip..
First up…. Packing to leave..
The infamous bookcase...
I love this pic of the girls right before we were ready to leave because of the explorer in the background and the MASSIVE blue box on the top. For those of you that knew my dad, he used to build furniture (and everything else) in his workshop. While every piece that he made will be treasured for more than a lifetime now that he’s gone; every piece he made either weighed 5 thousand pounds or it was so ‘gi-normous’ you needed a crane to move it! He built a bookcase and the bottom was easy to transport but the top.. well.. that is a different story. The big blue box on the top of the explorer is the only place that the top would fit…. So the family enjoyed the flapping of blue tarp the whole 4 1/2 hour trip up to Nana Charles’….. lol
My Mom & Sister
Here’s a good picture of my mom and sister… (Thanks Sara!)
So here are a couple of ditties from the visit to Mom’s….
- Potatoes in a bag.. Nice..
- Hey here’s an idea, let’s update our Facebook status’ every minute!!
- The Tale of Despereaux was a HORRIFIC movie for a kid to watch! – Especially after consuming soo much tryptophan — This movie was more depressing than Tom Arnold’s acting career
- We all agreed that if my mom joined facebook, her updates would consist of, “I’m tired – heading to bed”, ”Just got home from work – heading to bed”, “just woke up… I’m tired – I’m going to take a nap”
- Don’t place the rum in the stainless steel collection cabinet, as it releases the gas from the stove. lol
Japanese with the Kirby's
The 2nd half of the trip was spent at Grandma P’s… On Saturday night, we all went out to the local Japanese steak house for some fun!! Believe or not, I think this was the first time the girls have experienced chop sticks! lol Here are some ditties from this trip…
- Uuugh, ever since Michael Jackson died the Internet has been sooo slow!!! (Sorry Kath, you’re never gonna live this one down!! *grin*)
- Family photos… Little Miss Sunshine…
- Papa setting Mia up for shots of Milk…
- You want sake?!?!?
- The sink drain is fixed… *grin*
- The ceiling is going to be done by Thanksgiving…
- Uuugh, I just HAD to fix that Barbie Radio didn’t I?!?
