Happy Turkey Day

Turkey Day has come and gone and how wonderful it was to see the family again. Isabela had no school on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday- I had no work on Wednesday, Thursday and Chris had no work Thursday, Friday... so he took Wednesday off (in true Chris fashion he did make a stop at work for a few hours to get a few loose-ends tied up.)

We left about noon for Grandma and Grandpa West's house to spend the night. On the way, Chris realized we were only a short drive from Iowa and the Mississippi River- then we took an hour detour on the way, so Isabela could see the Mississippi River and now say that she has also been to Iowa. Grandma West picked up some fried chicken on her way home from work, and was at the house waiting on us when we arrived. We sat around and talked after dinner..then.. we watched The DUTTON's! Grandma and Grandpa have been watching this family perform for over 10 years. Every year they got to Branson, and every year they go see The Duttons... if you watched AMERICA'S GOT TALENT and saw the musical family, you've seen the Duttons- They made it to number 10. And every year we go to their house, we watch The Dutton's. This year Grandma West sent a copy home with us.

For lunch we went to Stan and Karen's house. Karen had to work, but Stan made an AWESOME meal. I love their smoked Turkey- it is soooo goood! We watched a little football and a little of the dog show before eating. It was great to get to hang out with LeAnn again too!

We left about 2pm Thursday for my grandma's house for dinner. We arrived at 5:15 - 15 minutes till dinner was served. It was excellent! My grandma's noodles are famous, nobody misses the noodles when they don't have to. Austin was fabulous! He was giving everyone a "haircut". I'll get pictures once Isabela loads hers to the computer because Chris and I both forgot the camera.

Then we headed home with Momma Hall in the front seat...
