thanksgiving

with sayward's encouragement, i continue the updates. on we move to thanksgiving.

this isn't a fantastic picture of either rhys or i, but i like it because my hair is long in it. if you remember, i cut my hair off a year and a half ago for locks of love, and although i don't regret my decision, i still miss having my long hair. i've only cut it once since then, and i think by this summer i'll be ready to chop it off again. okay... back to thanksgiving.

the day before thanksgiving this year was jayson's mom's 60th birthday. jayson was able to arrange a surprise party for her with the whole family and some good friends. it was a fantastic time, and she obviously loved it. here is negleyanne and "mimaw".

the two uncles and the two cousins. uncle justin and ella (jarod's daughter... 1.5) and uncle jarod and negleyanne.

closer up photo of ella... not the cutest but it was a huge croud that night, and she only knew a couple of people well. to be honest this was exactly how i was feeling the whole night - social activities are not my thing.

thanksgiving was a blast, especially because the whole family was there. i felt better as an aunt because i finally got to meet ella, and had such a great time watching her and negleyanne play together for the weekend. other than the terrible sickness that plagued many of us the days after, it was a great time!
