We were supposed to drive up to Penn Yan for a Pre-Thanksgiving dinner with the Drake fam, but plans changed and we ended up going to Austin and Crystals. We had so much food it was enough for another 30 people I think...potatoes maybe another 50 lol. It was nice getting together with everyone, including the Kerrs. It's amazing how much our family has grown over the past 5 years. I really wish we would all get together more often. There's nothing like feasting on yummy Drake food and hanging out with family. I'm so grateful that after all the sadness, tears and hardfeelings over the years....we can all still be a family and love each other no matter what. These are the memories we will talk about as we get older. These are the memories my kids will remember and talk about. These dinners and get togethers are what makes cousins grow close to one another. I love my family. Even though my Dad was a huge party of our Drake family, he would be the first one to say how happy he is that we all still get together even though he isn't able to. I love my Dad and miss him everyday.
We celebrated actual Thanksgiving last Thursday with Austin and Nate's families and Ryan, Amanda and my Mom. What a yummy turkey dinner once again...filled with relaxing, kids screaming, football games, online shopping and eating. :)
Christmas is just around the corner now. Tristan will turn SIX in two more days! I will post about his birthday after it is here and I have picture and stories! Today Tristan came home with the gifts he purchased from the Lanigan Holiday Shop at school. He bought gifts for Mom, Dad, Nanay, Easton and Brinley. We had to stop at Walmart on the way home so we could buy gift tags for them. He wrapped every one of them by himself and they are all ready to be put under the tree on Christmas. He can be one of the sweetest boys. He was so proud and excited to wrap those presents. As I sat and watched his expressions and movements it just made me melt. I have so many moments where I have a hard time dealing with him, but these times make up for it. I'm proud to have him as my son. I'm proud to have Easton and Brinley too ;). They mean the world to me and I hope that I never have to live without them in my life here on Earth. They are the reason I wake up every morning.
