The Osburns: ... Thanksgiving 2010...

Thanksgiving this year was so much fun! It was every ones away year except for my sister, so it ended up being just the girls at my moms house! I felt bad for Billy and Chasey, they were the only boys in a house of 7 girls. We met the night before and had pizza with my brother and his family. The kids played, my SIL pulled out my nephews tooth ( the video wont upload), we all ate ourselves sick, and had a great time. After Mats family left we started making the pies for Thanksgiving day. I say we, I mean my mom and sister. I was like the cheerleader/taster, telling them good job through the pie process. Shani's kids totally wore Rylee out... I was very thankful for that! We went home late that night ready for the feast the next day!

Me and Rachel making sure it tasted just right!

Shani's kids were all about Rylee, and each of them wanted their turn to play with her. Ry loved all the attention she got. Here is Kate reading to Rylee.

Poor Uncle Chasey.

The kids had fun with him while he was asleep!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Thanksgiving morning we woke up and watched the Macy's day parade. I'm not one for parades, but have to say that after actually being at the Macy's Day Parade while I was living in New York, it really is an awesome parade! Its fun to see NY on TV, and know exactly where everything is at. I miss that place!! Anyways, I ran to Walgreen's that morning to get one thing and left with a lot more then one thing. All their toys were 50% off, so I am happy to say that Rylee's Christmas and Birthday are completely DONE!!! We got ready and stopped down to see Karen's ( my step mom) mom. She isn't doing very good, so we needed and wanted to go see her. A lot of Karen's family was there, so it was fun to catch up with some of them. It reminded me of the first Thanksgiving I had with Karen's family. There were a ton of people and they were all family. I was used to just my 9 cousins! It was hard to see her mom so sick. She is usually up and talking with everyone, making jokes, telling me that I spoil my baby! It didn't help that while she was laying in bed, Rylee kept throwing Barbies at her to try and get her to wake up. After we left there we had a mini photo shoot with my sister to try and get some pictures for our Christmas card ( Ill post them later). It was freeeeezing cold, we were all hungry, and Shani couldn't feel her thumbs. Despite all of that we still got some good shots! We went to moms for dinner... which was so so so so so good, watched some Christmas movies, colored, took naps, ate too much pie, and then went to see Grandma Darling. It was honestly a WONDERFUL couldn't have asked for a better pretty much perfect Thanksgiving!!

Strike a pose if you LOVE Thanksgiving!

This crazy girl keeps me laughing all the time. She does this eye thing that kills me!

Cheers!

Kate loves her Uncle Chasey!

Me: " Kate, Rachel is going to brush out my hair, so you cant sit on my lap. Go sit on Uncle Chasey's lap."

Kate: " I already sitted on hims lap and now I'm done with hims."

Pie!

The best part of the whole meal.

Love me some Diet Dr Pepper!

Yes I fell asleep with this in my arms. Only because I kept pouring little tea set glasses for my niece in the front room.

Ry and Chasey were napping, so they missed out on the group shot.

We are pretty much perfection!

Me and Rachy Roo! My two oldest nieces are growing up WAAAAAY to fast.

Not the best picture, but its the only one we got that day.

Rylee loves to get into Great Grandma Darlings corner hutch and play with the coins. She dumps them out of the jar, and then puts them back in over and over again. I used to do the same thing when I was little. They still smell the exact same as when I was little too.
