We had such a nice Thanksgiving on Thursday! My Mom and Dad came to NJ to spend Thanksgiving with us. We were so happy to be able to spend time with them because we miss them a lot. They were here in NJ the day before and were able to come over for a visit. The kids just couldn't wait to see them! Especially Mason...he says he misses his Pop-Pop all of the time and talks about doing the things that only him and Pop-Pop do. Fishing and working on trucks is #1 on his list. :)
That night they decided to take the kids out to get some pizza so that I could get some grocery shopping done by myself. I love pizza but the thought of shopping by myself is like music to my ears. Yes please!
Mom was planning on cooking here (thank you!) and Matt's mom was cooking too of course, so Matt and I decided that he would take Mattie with him to his moms and I would stay here and spend time with my mom since I don't get to see them a lot. My dad took Mason with him early Thanksgiving morning to pick up a truck. Of course Mason wanted to go--he loves anything with the word truck, although I don't think it would matter where he went with Pop-Pop, as long as they were together. The night before, Mason packed a small back pack with snacks, some cars (for him and pop-pop to play with together, lol), his toy tools, and some gloves so that he could work on a truck too. He cracks me up when he packs his "bag" because he always knows to grab his tools when he goes anywhere with his Pop-Pop.
Mattie looked like such a big girl on Thanksgiving. I put her in a dress that Mom-Mom gave her last year that she never wore. It was pink and brown (my fav). She looked too cute! I'm surprised she left it on...she hates dresses! She even let G braid her hair which made her look like an even bigger girl.
While my mom was cooking, I was able to run to CVS...again another yay! A few minutes out by myself. I had looked at the ad's the night before and CVS was having a buy one get one free toy deal, so I figured I would just stop in and see what kind of stuff they had for the kids for Christmas. I ended up leaving with $40 worth of stuff. Oops.
Matt & Mattie got back home before my mom even finished dinner. Matt was out the door again and off to work and wouldn't be home until the morning. I was sad that he had to go because I wasn't able to see him all day, but Im glad that he got to spend the day with his Mom and brothers.
My brother and the kids came over for a quick visit before dinner and then right before dinner was done my dad and Mason came home. I couldn't wait to see my little man! I had missed him. He had a great time though and wouldn't stop talking about his fun day out with Pop-Pop.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you had as great of a Thanksgiving as I did. I have a lot to be thankful for!
