Thanksgiving/ Trip home

So we are back from Arizona, and Thanksgiving at Ryan's Aunt Lisa's house. It was a long 12 hours with 4 adults (2 being pregnant), a toddler, and all our stuff, but we made it in one peice with my huge swollen feet and a car sick Chloe by the time we got there. Once we were there we enjoyed a SHOWER and i enjoyed a long nap with my feet elevated! We enjoyed the time with family and the fun board games, and i thought i was good at Mad Gab you've got nothing on Lisa's kids! We also played spoons, well they played spoons i watched it can get physical playing with Ryan and Chad. We played Buzz Word with about 5 people on each team wich is fun because not all the pressure is on 2 people. Thanksgiving day dinner was great and Anthony's (Lisa's husband) dad got out of the hospital just in time to join us which was nice! Later during our stay we managed to try manuto, which is a soup consisting of hominy, veggies, and tripe (cows stomache). I didn't try the tripe but the soup it's self was good kind of like a chowder. I will be more adventurious at trying foods i've never had before after i don't have such a large gag reflex, and weak stomach. Everyone who tried is said it was kind of bland tasting on it's own and absorbs the flavors of the soup. We had a great time and i'm excited to go back down in May for AJ's graduation when i'm not pregnant! Also everyone needs to be checking the blog i'll post Ryan's graduation date here soon so you all know to save the date.



So we'll be leaving for Riverton on Monday after my dr's appt. to spend about two weeks with our families. I'm excited to go home and see everyone for longer than a weekend, and have a nice relaxing Christmas. I'll be full term (37 weeks) the 20th (our anniversary figures) so we could have a nice Christmas surprise while we're home. We're taking the hospital bag and car seat just in case, we don't want to have to buy another one, those things are expensive. Well here's some pictures of our house that we finally got decorated about a week ago!
