happy thanksmas!

thanksgiving was awesome! on thursday john and i hosted 32 russells for dinner. we squeezed them into every nook and cranny of the house. family was everywhere and i was lovin it! the worst part was, of course, cleaning the house... every nook and cranny. this is a completely different level of clean that we're used to. ross, actually doesn't like the house all picked up. he claims he can't find his stuff if it's put away.
the next morning we packed up the car and traveled to connellsville to celebrate christmas with john's brother and sister. nathan and bri won't be home in december so we trimmed the tree and exchanged gifts on saturday. i love it when we're all together. it only happens a couple times a year, now.
so here sit in my clean house, very happy. this was the best thanksmas ever!
