A Very Wonderful Week!

Oh my goodness! The week has passed so fast! Tomorrow is Saturday and after a sleep in, a few more card games, a good lunch made by Sarah, we will all head our separate ways. :(

We have absolutely had a wonderful time together. The only bummer was when landon had to head out on Thanksgiving night to get back home to work his part time job at target bright and early Friday morning at 5:45! Poor guy. We have missed him. We've missed lennon, christal, and addie as well. They spent it in odessa. I guess they missed the memo, that this was my year for thanksgiving! Gee. Seems other family won out. That's okay, but sure would have been fun to have them with us. But we'll have a day for Christmas together if we can get it worked out.

We ate the most awesome dinner prepared by everybody on Thursday and then settled in for intense games of shanghi rummie and scrabble, and then shopped, and ate, and talked, and slept, and played, and loved each other and then did it all again and again and again! It was a lazy, crazy week and we loved it! Sarah made this cute round Thanksgiving Board where we were to all, at some point, on Thanksgiving Day, pin what we were thankful for. She let us off the hook to post family & Jesus, to post something totally different, since those two were apparent, but some of us just couldn't help adding those two in there as well. It was such a cool idea.

The boys golfed a couple of times and tonight we ended the evening with the traditional "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" movie extravaganza! Oh my goodness, ellie loved it. She's been initiated into the henry clan. she danced and danced and danced. It was such fun watching her. I've watched that movie since I was a little girl, and kylah has watched it since she was a little girl as well. Poor sarah and mandy had never seen it! Can you believe that?! We also introduced sascha to it as well. We all just piled around in the game room in our jammies, even a couple or three of the guys. I won't mention any names to protect their manhood. But michael wasn't one of them. Although he did bring up two big bowls of popcorn about a third of the way through the movie. Such a thoughtful guy! Of course it was probably a good reason to sneek a peek! ha!

All in all, the week was fantastic but way to fast. Today was also my baby sister's 47th birthday! OMG! You're gonna catch me, sis!

Hope everyone's Thanksgiving was happy and full of reminders of all that God has blessed you with.

Family and friends are the Joy of my life!

Thanks Michael & Kylah for being such an amazing host & hostess, cooking, pampering us like we were in a hotel and making an incredible atmosphere to gather in. Your "Home" is incredibly amazing and comfortable. It was such a joy to gather our family here and make beautiful memories and moments to remember. You are both simply the best! We love you so much!
