John and Sandy cooking Thanksgiving turkey
Macy & Aunt SandyThanksgiving this year was in St. Louis, Missouri. To try to be fair to the families we have this every other year holiday thing going. This year away for Thanksgiving...home for Christmas. Next year home for Thanksgiving away for Christmas.
We had a really great time this year staying with Sandy, John's only sister, as we always do. Not only is she a great sister-in-law but I consider her a friend as well. The food was great this year, seeing everybody was wonderful (even better that they all came to us!) , but my most memorable moments came from the Friday after starting at about 3:50 a.m. for our all day shopping extravaganza! Not only were Sandy and I out and about our other s.i.l. was out with her sister, son and one of his friends. It was like I had 4 personal shoppers all going to different places which insured me getting everything I had on my list and then some. SO much fun. We had brunch together and then right before delirium hit...or maybe a few minutes after we called it a day around 2:00 just in time to get a back massage from a long, hard day of shopping.
Macy's birthday is tomorrow, December 8th, but the birthday gifts started rolling in while we were in St. Louis...thanks family. Mimi gave her a great barbie furniture set/barbie doll. Aunt Sandy....sweet Aunt Sandy gave Macy the "My Size" Barbie. Yes, it is almost Macy's size just an inch or two shorter. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!
Love you guys..if we could just convince John to move back :)
