Gobble gobbledy goo!

This year was special. This year for about 3 weeks I thought that I would be having Thanksgiving at my home with my family. I know, sounds beautiful. But in my mind it was not sounding beautiful at all. Come inside my head for one second...Dave-doing all of the cooking, me doing all of the clean-up, the kids being the kids. When the meal(delish) is done, said husband heads downstairs to relax, said kids head downstairs for some Wii time, me alone. No one to chat with and play a rousing game of Phase Ten with, no one to complain to about holiday weight gain, no Black Friday plans, BOO HISS. But wait, that is not what happened at all. No no my friends we spent 4 glorious days in Parma, ID. Basking in the joys of family, food, and fun. Truly a great Thanksgiving. There was eating and sleeping and running in the empty canal. There were cousins and new babies and old babies and Mills was in heaven. There were dogs and horses. There were pockets full of flowers, leaves as big as your head and legos galore. There were guns and clay pigeons and Dave letting go of the handle bars of the motorcycle. There was pranks and trampoline jumping and injuries for each child. There was scum and Black Friday and all day prego sickness. In a word, Bliss. All of the things I am most thankful for(almost-Selman clan was AWOL ) Just see for yourself.
