Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving and being home with my family was so nice. I have missed everyone so much and coming home to all of them was a real treat!  I had a few nights at my moms house and it was relaxing with Hugh and Abigail. My grandpa was there as well for a few days.  When Katie came home from school, we then stayed at my dads house. Analisa redecorated the guest house and it looks great!  Tyler, Analisa's younger brother who is a SEAL stayed with Katie and I, except he slept on the pullout couch.  There were 2 28 lb turkeys for 20 people. I made 2 soy pumpkin cheesecakes. I got to see GiGi, Theodore, Geanie, Kathryn, Jim, Janet, Uncle Richie and his friend Mario, Uncle Mike and Aunt Lynda, Tyler, Todd and Diane, all of us 7 kids.  We all had so much fun!
The next morning we went to moms house to say goodbye to Boppa.  Mom drove him back to the bay area, and Jim and his daughter Katie went back to Reno.  The rest of the day we all hung out played foot ball and got Christmas trees. We had dinner at Edgewood and couldn't stop laughing the entire time!  Everyone came over for dinner on Saturday night at we watched the USC football game and ate turkey soup and set up the christmas tree. Everyone left Sunday morning and Dad and Analisa drove Katie and Tyler to the airport and did christmas shopping while I babysat the remaining kids. We played tag and football and now we are all hanging out and watching a move. 

It was a great week to come home to!

1 Week to Go

Sorry it has been a while, there hasn't been a whole lot going on since I last posted.  My mom went to LA for her and Katie's birthdays. They took Abigail and Jim, but not Andrea... Katie turned 21! I sent her some gifts in the mail, along with mom. The weather is getting much colder, I think it will snow today, it was supposed to snow yesterday. I was a cheetah for halloween, I went to downtown and into a club for a GirlTalk concert and it was so much fun! Getting back to the dorms was difficult but we made it! Next week I have a paper and two tests but on finals week I have one test. I thought all finals were supposed to be on finals week. Then my friend Grant may come to Denver on a road trip but Im not sure if everything will work out that we can drive home for Thanksgiving. But I am SO excited for all the great food!
