Holiday Hangover

Thanksgiving has come and gone, and with it went my brother and his girlfriend. They flew back home today and I don't think I could hate saying goodbye to my brother any more than I do. It's a torture-ish feeling that I experience a few times a year and I dread the day we part each trip. But with keeping things in perspective, I'm choosing to focus on the fun we had while they were here and be thankful for the fact that my parents are in town for a few more days.

From drinking way more than I should have, to staying out way later than I should have to probably eating more than my weight, it was a wonderful 4 days with them here. My parents babysitting allowed us to go out a couple times and indulge in everything from cheap shots to $18 drinks. (My new obsession is imported cherries from Italy!) The game Kansasopoly was played until we were sick of it and Drew soaked up the extra attention each day. 

While I missed extended family, having my parents and brother together for Thanksgiving was just special. And aside from a small political debate, the day and the meal went off without a hitch! Cue happy dance music.

Oh and did you see those adult onesies in the collage above? Summer (Mike's girlfriend) brought us a pair to wear Thanksgiving night. We looked terribly stupid, but it made for quite a few good laughs. Plus....what's better than comfy clothes when you're stuffed full of turkey anyway?

I will sure miss my family being all together again for a while!

More pictures from Thanksgiving to come tomorrow!
