So our Thanksgiving was a blast. For the first time in, well a long time, my whole family was here. All of my brothers and sisters and their families. There was a lot of eating, and laughing, and tons of fun. Maybe also some bloating and napping and tons of fun...
As you can see in these pictures below taken of my kids and nieces and nephews:
My 13-year old niece and the oldest of the bunch... that makes me super old... sigh... she's one of my best friends, love the heck out of her. |
So here's the thing. We had SUCH a good time during Thanksgiving. My cup filleth over with happiness to be around all of my family... I'm a big family person.
There is only one negative that came out of all of this and will change my way of thinking of having family over ever again...
Come Sunday when everyone left... we all got sick. The 24 hour flu bug. EVERYONE of us. 23 in all. From baby to Grandparents. We all got hit with it from Sunday to Tuesday.
I didn't have it on Sunday... which was convenient for my family because I became their nursemaid aka slave for a full 24 hours. THAT's HARD work!!! Just saying. They were throwing up out of their mouths and out the back end. It was bad.
Then come Tuesday, if you follow me on Facebook (which you should) you would know that I was sick, sick, sick. I haven't been that sick in FOREVER. I didn't eat anything, I was afraid to. Everyone was working and going to school so I had to suffer it alone. Moaning to myself... you know how sad it is to moan to yourself??? It's sad, take my word for it.
So as much as I love my family I think Skyping Thanksgiving to be together next year might be the way to go... just a suggestion.
So anything exciting happen with you guys??? How bad did you feel for me when you read I had to moan alone??? Don't hold back... tell me in comments.
love,
