Thanksgiving

Well hello Bloggers..I would like you all to know that I quit working on my paper for school to post..I know my priorities. Well Thanksgiving break was once again a nice one. Wednesday Matt and I headed to Algona. We went out with friends Wednesday and had Thanksgiving Thursday morning with the Kajewski's. We then drove to Holstein and did a second Thanksgiving with my family. We realize we are lucky our parents live about an hour and 45 minutes apart. Not too bad. We realized that is the way to do Thanksgiving. Now we just have to figure out how we get out of helping at either house...We almost had it this year..I am sure we will have it perfected by next Thanksgiving...


Matt, Clare, and Jamie..Matt needs two drinks to be with the Cosgroves..jk he is holding mine..

Cosgrove Thanksgiving was a also fun. Friday Matt spent the day fixing computers, dvd, dvr players...My parents are still kind of 1998..they can't quite handle the internets yet.. Friday night we attended the blogger party at Meghann's. It was funny to see all of the little ones just chillin together baby style...


Quinn, Lillian, Addison and Taylor...how freaking cute are they? Thank god I don't have to get up early with any of them...

Well Matt and I came back today and I worked on my paper a bit. We then decided to put up our little Christmas tree we got last year. It is nothing fancy but we like it. Matt is a world class gift buyer. I feel bad for him that he dates me, because since I have been in law school my Christmas shopping has to be done in about one hour, 3 days before Christmas... Well my presents from Matt are all wrapped and ready to go and one of them is huge. It is like the size of the Barbie Dream house and I have no idea what it is..I actually hope it is the Dream house because I have wanted that since 4th grade..Well I guess I have to wait till Christmas to find out..
