Turkey day wrap up




Our Thanksgiving started off a little strange. Early Thursday morning around 12:30am someone threw a rock through our porch sliding glass door, shattering it to tiny pieces all over our living room. Brett jumped up immediately to see what was going on and I got Owen. He had slept through the entire thing and looking back I should have just stayed in his room with him instead of getting him out of his crib but I was so shaken up I just wanted to hold him and know he was OK. The security guard came, Brett called the police, lot of phone calls were made and pictures taken and reports written. Owen and I went to lay down again and try and get some sleep at 2 but poor Brett was up forever cleaning up all the glass and helping the maintenance man put a new door in. Despite the chaos we were all able to go back to sleep, thank goodness! A few hours later I went to my father-in-law's thanksgiving spin class.Let me just tell you it was long, hard and with no A/C in the room sooo sweaty. I was pretty proud of myself for pushing through all 90 minutes of the class yep that wasn't a typ-o it was 90 minutes and am going to add another spin class to my workouts--they are a kick in the pants! After class I rushed home to get the famous orange rolls rolled out and rising and they actually turned out pretty good. I don't think it feels like Thanksgiving to me with out them and not being with my family this year I was already a bit bummed but a big ol orange roll sure did help put a smile on my face. Owen was a gem baby the whole day, he even took a nap before dinner and was SO excited to have a little mashed potatoes at the table! He loved them and he is finally eating like he normally does. These ear infections sure do put a little damper on a baby but no worries he is getting better every day! Dinner was great and we got to spend time with Brett's family. I tried to get a pre- dinner pic with all the food just like I know Dad was doing in Sacramento but it didn't happen so we took a few after dinner! We are all stuffed and ready for a little nap, and right about when we took these picture my leg muscles started to ache like I haven't felt in months and months, hence the funny smile! We ended the day going to the movies just like old times, the girls saw Twilight and the boys Quantum of Solace. and Owen took a bath at his Grandma Shelley's house in the sink and loved it!

orange rolls are indeed a great Coons Family tradition. I had never had one before my first Thanksgiving in Las Vegas about 8 years ago.

Owens cheeks must be my favorite cheeks in the whole wide world. (and to think ive never had a chance to pinch them!)
