my 3 were having a grand time in california's central valley with aunties, uncles and cousins.
the boys arrived back home to sd sometime in the wee hours this morning,
but that didn't prevent finn and scout from waking up at the crack of dawn
and jumping into our bed.
after lots of squeezes and kisses and "i missed you mommy"
{it was hard to be mad at them after all this lovin'},
then they told me all the exciting things they had done over the last 2 days.
it seems the boys spent a fair amount of time playing wii.
we purposefully don't have any video game consoles in our home,
so this was SUCH a treat for finn and scoutie.
{i can picture my two like little crack attics glued to their television}
scoutie also told me uncle chad took them to a REAL airplane hangar and to see his fighter jet.
i can't recall at the details he shared with me, but he loves planes and he had quite an experience.
he went on and on {with big brother giving lots of specific}, as i coaxed them both out of our
bedroom so c could get some much needed sleep. he was exhausted.
c remembered to take a few pixs and even some video for me.
so without further adieu, the photo highlights of their thanksgiving:

| the F18 jet uncle chad flys if you look closely it says "decaf" {his call sign } |
 |
| according to my boys, uncle chad has THE coolest job ever!! |
the boys had a wonderful time and chad + anissa were such great hosts.
i almost forgot, auntie anissa made personalized embroidered craft aprons for each of the kids.
{picture coming...}
~ i can't tell you how much i wanted to see chloe.
i contacted her mommy to see if auntie a can come up for a visit.
i'll be taking a solo trip in february. i can hardly wait!
