Hostess with the Mostest

We had Corey's family here from Arizona for Thanksgiving. I LOVED it. It made me feel so happy to have everyone here and especially to watch the grandchildren playing and laughing and getting along so well. All the kids (13 in all) are awesome. I miss them already.

What Miss Niss says:"...stress corey out (haha)..." Now that brought a smile to my face! Sorry Corey.

It's so nice to be surrounded by family. Glad you had a nice Thanksgiving...13 kids?? Can't even imagine. (that would stress me out too =)

Actually, we weren't stressed out at all. Well, the only stress was Corey worrying about if everyone was happy and having a good time. He wanted to see people having fun. I hope they did.

I absolutely love reading your blog. I usually don't leave a comment because I am so busy with the Holiday Season and all but it looks like you have had a great time. I love that Corey is involved and actually cares that everyone else is having a good time. Eric usually disappears in the room right in the middle of a family gathering and then later you find him asleep
