So for Thanksgiving this year we went out to Colorado and celebrated it with Dan's family. The kids and I actually went several days early and spent some time with my family before Thanksgiving. I really enjoyed seeing all the family. But all I have to say is: What. A. Week.
It was literally just one thing after another for us. Some were minor annoyances and other's were serious accidents...here are just a few of the "highlights"
-The kids both caught colds at the beginning of the week. Coughs, runny noses, congestion, clingy...
-The kids kept waking up every hour or two which meant I got almost literally no sleep
-Saffryn fell many times one landing on my mother's coffee table with her head. I was sure we would end up at the ER, but she ended up being ok
-Pierce choked on a sticker. When I say choke I mean the real deal. Was not breathing, bright red and I had to sweep his mouth to get it out....the most terrifying 15(ish) seconds of my life. I have never felt so helpless
-Crash tore his ACL on his other leg while playing
-After what seemed like the longest drive home (and one huge poopy explosion) we make it home only to have me finally catch the cold they both still have
Are you stressed and tired yet? Ya...me too!
It was a HARD week for us. But really it was fun seeing family. The kids really did well besides the colds, no sleep and accidents. Anyway here are a few pictures of some of the more fun moments of the trip.
