Thanksgiving 2013

 I think this will be a Thanksgiving that we never forget!

Besides having to be out of our home 3 days before the holiday (which ended up not being the case since we didn't end up signing until the 11th of Dec...but o-well)

So we got all moved out and moved in to our "new place" and then "IT" hit us - yucky winter sickness!

The Monday before Thanksgiving, Jax and Logan got pink eye which isn't horrible until two days later, Logan and Spence got the flu and then the day after Thanksgiving, Logan also had double ear infections and Austin got the flu.  I swear, that poor little Logan - he was absolutely miserable for 7 days!!!

I felt really bad for our new neighbors who honestly heard probably more crying than they ever want to again.  Welcome the Morris family :)

But after that first week, we've done okay.  Knock on wood...

 So needless to say, Logan and I stayed home while Spence (with the mild flu himself) took the triplets to Grandma & Grandpa Morris' house to celebrate Thanksgiving

 YUMMY!

 Happy Thanksgiving cuties

 The next day, my parents had all of us over to their place to have Thanksgiving with them and it was great.  However, this time, Spence stayed home with Logan  while I took the triplets.  He was not longer contagious but man he looked horrible!

We had a great time playing our annual "Thanksgiving Bingo" with my crazy, zany dad as the Head Turkey Caller

 Here's a great pic of him with his turkey head on.  All the grand kids love it and have fun picking out their prize.  And this year, my mom and dad threw in the spin of being able to choose money as their prize.  It was so much fun

 Rio, Halle and my cute Austin loving their prizes and just waiting for more

 My dad also brought up his "bell ringer" so that when the kids won, they would say, "Thanksgiving Bingo" and ring the big bell.  So fun.

I love Rio's face - she is so silly

 My sister's cute 6 kids saying "Bingo"

*Zak, Ella, Gabe*

*Anna, Halle and Luke* (who thinks anything "cutesie" is super lame) - love him!

 Me and my 3 cuties trying to have a good pic for Thanksgiving :)

Here's a few pics of my Logan with daddy.  Looks horrible right?  All he wanted to do was sit on one of our laps and play "Lilah" (a talking fairy game on our phone/Ipads and as a result, out of the 6-8 words he says, Lilah is now one of them).  Ha-ha.

Oh my goodness, it was so so sad with this guy.  He lost 3 lbs in 5 days and would not eat anything!  He was so miserable but he is back at it again!

I think this Thanksgiving, I was most grateful for being able to see a doctor and having money for our deductible and in general, having healthy happy kids.

This was a pic of my Rio back in early November when she had the flu and croup and the worst fever that lasted like 4 days.  Poor thing - she is the easiest sick person though - sweet and easy.  The only thing was that she was sick during our "home showing" days and so we had to leave our house during showings and I had a "throw up" bucket for her to hold while we drove around.  So sad but she was a champ - tough little cookie!
