Thanksmas and Dancing!

Wells we just got back from Thanksmas which is the holiday our small group celebrates every year. (We are too big of a group to meet for Thanksgiving and Christmas so we smoosh them together.) There is TONS of food and Santa even drops in with a present for every child in attendance. It is always a blast.
We had to leave early on Saturday right after the dinner because my daughter Esther was having her first dance recital ever. I will post it later. She was AWESOME!!! The only one in her class that did the whole dance. I cried through most of the 2 and a half minute dance. Then we went back out to the Owen's Ranch (where we celebrate Thanksmas; it is a weekend long celebration). We put the kids to bed then played some games, talked, watched a little of the Mav's game and had a really good time. We of course woke up super early as always, packed up, and left to drive the 1hour and 15 minute trip back to church. (I teach on Sunday's and Lloyd and I were suppose to work in the 2 year old children's worship.)
That is always fun. Our son is in that class, and everytime we turned on the bubble machine he ATE the bubbles. It was so gross, but then again 2 year old boys are kind of gross, sometimes. It was an awesome weekend, where I stuffed my face, didn't work out an ounce, and packed on alot of weight.
Now I get to leave tomorrow after my husband gets off work to go and see my IN-LAWS!!! That's right. We are driving up to Oklahoma to see Lloyd's parents and middle sister graduate college (before either of us) and I have put on weight. So much that only my fat jeans fit, and my babydoll dress that everytime I wear it someone asks if I am pregnant. Yeah, and the other day my daughter asked me if I had a baby in my tummy, and I said no I have just put on about 20 pounds.; thanks though.
