Thanksgiving Day Fun

I think I should start at the beginning for this blog....I had to work Wednesday before Thanksgiving but I like to let the grandkids come spend the night whenever they can because it is really hard to find a night that they either don't have school or I don't have to work!  Anyway, I worked til 12:30am Wednesday and Tianna wanted to spend the night, so I text Mandy to see if she was still awake because somewhere around 10:30ish I got a text from her saying she was getting tired.  But she was awake so I went to pick her up and took her home with me.  When we got home we still needed to cook the stuffing for the next day and an appetizer - what I was to take for the dinner - we were having the dinner at Joe and Val's at 11-1130 on Thanksgiving.  So Tianna and I stayed up until 3:10am fixin the food we were taking.  Tianna had said she was tired but I guess she got a second wind!  Anyway, at 3:10am we went to sleep and at 8:40am something Randy woke us up because we needed to go by Winco to get a few groceries before we went to Joe's.  So we got up and got ready to leave.  We got to Winco and got the shopping done pretty quick, and were done by 1030....so I drove really slow to their house. We got there at 10:55am. Tianna asked me if I knew that we were early enough that we probably could have slept an extra 30 minutes!  I told her I thought we needed to beat papa for gettting us up to early she said "yeah!".  Next time though I think we will both choose to sleep the extra 30!
Mandy and Ernesto and their family got there close to 11:30.  Stephen and Ivy and their family were in Logan, Utah with her family.  So we sat and talked and ate appetizers while the ham cooked.  We had a wonderful time and we all were stuffed after dinner!!  It was a good thing there wasn't an emergency because no one was moving very fast!!  We sat and talked for a while and the cousins played.  Then we played the game "Things" we had a BLAST!!! 
It was such a wonderful relaxing day...I know we all had a really nice day.  It was so nice to spend the day together.  I am so thankful for this family of mine!!  I love them all ssssoooo much!!  I am very blessed!
