Thanksgiving '07

So as mentioned in a previous blog, after coming home from Boston Carter and I were sick with a cold/flu/whatever for the first part of the week of Thanksgiving. Thanks to Bo we were able to get somewhat better and on Thursday morning (Thanksgiving day) we took off for San Antonio. Bo has an Aunt and Uncle who live there that are only a few years older then us. They are really fun and have three kids. Sadie, their oldest, got baptised the Saturday after Thanksgiving, so it was fun to watch that. Because of her baptism, Bo's Grandma was visiting, along with Sadie's grandparents from her dad's side. We ate GREAT food, had fun socializing, and of course did some shopping.

I've never shopped on Black Friday before, but there were a couple things in the ads that looked like fun, and some of the party was going out, so I decided to go. We left at 5 in the a.m., which might not be as early as some who go out, but it was definetly early enough for me. It was great though. I bought a giant stuffed Elmo for Carter. He's going to love it. I'm having a hard time restraining myself from showing Carter his presents. It's just so fun and I can't wait to see his face when he opens them.

We came home from San Antonio Saturday evening because Bo had to give a talk in church and I had to give a lesson. We were about an hour away and Carter started throwing up.!!! Seriously. He'd had the flu/stomach virus two weeks before, and was just barely overcoming a cold when this happened. Poor kid! We had to pull over and change his shirt because it was soaking with nasty smelling vomit. We still had an hour left of driving, and poor Carter kept on vomiting. Our car smelled so bad that even Bo and I were starting to feel sick. UGH! When we got home it was like 10 at night, Carter was exhausted, but we still popped him in the bath. He needed it. We tag teamed going to church the next morning, with Bo going the first half and me the second. Carter kept throwing up, but by Sunday evening he was stopping, and by Monday he was back on the mend. So thankfully it was a short spell this time.

We're all good now and out having fun. I hadn't posted previously because I felt like I needed a break from everything for a couple days. Carter and I have been going non-stop for like a month and we needed to just relax. With that said, I'm finally posting, and here are some pictures from the trip!
