Thanksgiving 08

Dalayna & Wade's house. Hillsboro is about 40 mi NW of Fargo. To me, Fargo feels like it ought to be at the far North of ND, but I see by the map it's really only about 1/3 the way through it!


The reason we went.... (Sorry Dalayna, couldn't resist!)


The best part about the turkey...The smell, how it looks right out of the oven, and the crispy golden skin!




Thanksgiving dinner. Jon & Sarah came over to join us!



We went to a get together Thurs. night. The "kids" had a great time at a school gym, then we had a yummy huge meal, in a lovely house (see how huge it is??!) Fun to meet a few more ND friends.




Going to Fargo Friday morning to.....SHHH! shop. O.K. No one in their right minds would go shopping on Friday after Thanksgiving! The ONLY reason we went, was to buy paint for Jessi's room, so Papa could paint it while we were there. I went into Kohls to check to see if they had a couple things, so I could pick them up later if they did, but NEVER would I have waited in those lines. On both sides of the store, the check-out lines stretched back the length of the store. Went to the fabric store to look also, and the line for cutting fabric was just as bad there.

We went to "Pout baby boutique" and NO lines!! Had fun browsing that cute store & buying Jessi a huge flower for her headband!
She also got a new puzzle.
We ate lunch at Johnny Carinos; Yummy!!



Jessi's newly painted room. SO pretty!! Dalayna matched the colors in the afghan that Laura had made for Jessi for a baby gift, & it went great with the dark brown carpet. The rest of the bunch watched the Huskers/CO game while Leon painted, except Dalayna was so excited to get it painted, she kept coming upstairs to help a bit! I didn't have to watch the game...I could tell what was going on by the noise that was coming up from downstairs!! (but then I could care less for football anyway......!)


Sleeping beauty.... What a sweetie! I took dozens of pictures of her :*)





There was a little girl, who had a little curl..... Seriously, I can't imagine what she did to have to stand in the corner! Good thing I didn't see it, I'm sure I would have scooped her up and took her home with me right then!! Look at those red eyes! What mean parents she has!! LOL!
Looks like she didn't suffer for too long tho, next time I noticed, the tears were gone & the smiles were back.
