With the Thanksgiving Holiday fast approaching Larry and I have been working our tails off to finish projects around the house. We are super excited to be able to show off our "work in progress" to the extended family. It's kind of like a rite of passage to have their stamp of approval with the decisions we've been making. Especially with the purchase of our first home and then being able to decorate it and maintain it on our own, and now to be able to host our family for a holiday is another big step for us. I guess we are growing up? Does over 30 and 4 kids make you an adult? Nah, but a mortgage does!
Of course there are always more things on the "honey do list" that will have to wait (which makes the perfectionist in me grumpy) but it's worth being able to spend some quality time with family. I can't wait to show them the buffalo down the street, the harbors, Canton flee-markets, SMU tailgates, and to take a girls night out to see TWILIGHT.
But the things I'm dreading...no hot water, trying to tame my cleanliness bug with 7 extra peeps in the house, getting Ben to take a nap with distractions in the house, taking family pictures (sorry mom, I love the results just not the process), sharing the remote and having to wear a bra ALL day. Although having 7 extra hands around to help with the kids...PRICELESS!

Thanks for making me laugh, Rachel; especially with that last paragraph. I hope you all have a wonderful time together, and that things turn out the way you want them. Can't wait to see the pictures. Happy Thanksgiving!
Good luck with everything going on and enjoy Twilight!!
