Thanksgiving Fun...

This year for Thanksgiving we were invited to the Smith family's house (the former home of Erin). I headed to sunny Arizona on Wednesday morning after working two 12 hour days in a row on Monday & Tuesday - bleh - the reward was getting to spend the night with my sister Tuesday night before flying out on Wednesday morning - we had a wonderful time...
Here's the quick synopsis of our trip:
I arrived in Phoenix on Wednesday afternoon to a wonderful 80 degrees with sunshine!! (I almost didn't recognize it).

Wednesday we played & hung out. Tim was already there so I had two greeters at the airport - nice.
Thursday was side dish day for Erin & turkey day for the rest of us. We had dinner at her parents house - pictured below...notice we ate outside!! How great is that!?!



Friday we went shopping (but not until around 11:00 am - hee, hee). We also played Christmas crafties...the button trees below & another project I'll show you in my next post.

Saturday we got manicures & pedicures then headed to Postino's for a late lunch with Erin's family. It was a relaxing & nice time to just hang out with everyone. Here is a photo of me & my love taken at the restaurant.

The rest of Saturday night was spent finishing Christmas crafties & hanging out. We found some time to take silly photos...here is just one of many.

Thank you Erin, Shawn, & family for welcoming us for Thanksgiving. We had a truly wonderful time. Wish you lived closer...

Again, SO jealous :). It looks like you had a wonderful time, which you deserve after the last couple years. An nice break from it all with warm weather and great friends. I wish Erin lived closer too ... oh the fun we could all have (and I would invite her to the movies if we went). *Maybe* a trip down that way will be in our future ... and then it better get about 10 posts worth of fun on your blog ... got it?

I can't believe how creative you are! You need to stop teaching and open a shop of your own. Then I can come visit and you can teach me to be as creative as you! :) Oh...and the shop can open at 11am and have a Starbucks kiosk inside. Sounds like heaven! :)
