Turkey

I plan to puppynap Dyna someday.

Our short trip to Reno has come to end. We left on Wednesday night and didn't show up until 12:34am on Thursday. After getting no sleep between an upset stomach and a baby who likes to kick me in his sleep, we were up at the crack of dawn thanks to a sweet three year old who is Kevin's nephew. I encouraged Kevin's sister & brother-in-law to give their child Nyquil, but they didn't find that as amusing as I did.

I dropped off Jack in the mid-morning at the Lynch house. Of course he was greeted by the three sweet angel dogs they have. My favorite is Dyna (see picture above from Lisa's page). I love that dog. One day she will be mine. Anyway, Jack spent a few hours at their house until I picked him up for turkey dinner with Kevin's family. It was Kevin, his sister, brother-in-law, nephew, niece, dad, and his dad's special lady friend. Dinner was amazing! I don't know how his sister did it. She has so much to do every day... I can't figure out when she sleeps.

After dinner I took Jack back over to the Lynch house for a sleep over. Of course I wanted to cry as I was walking out the door, but Lisa texted me shortly after I left that Jack was playing with his Aunt Stevi and Shae, and was a very happy boy. That made me feel much better, so I went back to Theresa's house (Kevin's sister) for pie & her "special" hot chocolate. And by special, I mean peppermint schnapps. We played this awesome pirate game called Dread Pirate or something like that. I can't remember what it was called, but I lost both times and had so much fun. We all talked like pirates which is always a good time.

I had a wonderful and quiet nights sleep (Thank you, Lisa & Jay!). I was able to get my sushi-fix this morning at Sushi Pier. It was fantastic. I miss that place so much! Around noon we headed back to Bend which is where we are now. Babycakes crashed after his bath, and I'm stuffing myself with brownies & coffee. I think I might break out some cheese. I need to get a little extra fluff for the winter to keep myself warm!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
