Yager Thanksgiving 2009

We left this last Sunday for Homer, and looked forward to spending Thanksgiving with Sandor's family!! We decided to celebrate Thanksgiving on Wednesday and drive up to Girdwood on Thursday to celebrate with my family. We were stuffed with REALLY good food, and homemade pies on Wednesday. Ruben was *of course* spoiled all week by Grammie and Grandpa!! He was able to spend A LOT of time with the both of them and had a very good week. Sandor was getting over his sickness for most of the time, but we had a fun time!
While we were in Homer, it decided to DUMP snow in Anchorage Wednesday evening and through the night. So change of plans Thursday morning... I woke up at 5:45am, Ruben and Sandor woke up at 6am and we were on the road by 7:30am- UGH!! I am NOT a morning person. Sandor had to plow in Anchorage, so he dropped Ruben and I off at my grandma's and papa's house in Girdwood. I was sad that I didn't have my hubby, BUT snow means money, and I had my family : )

So Ruben and I were able to eat a turkey dinner twice!! Sandor picked us up at midnight- Ruben was AWESOME!! He stayed up with Pa Paw and I, everyone else was in bed. Ruben wasn't fussy, and had a great time!! YAY RUBEN!!! We have a GREAT son : )

Picture of my mom and Ruben when she left to go back to Bethel... her and Ruben had a very good visit : )

I was suppose to get up at 4:30AM to go shopping with Jonnie- YEAH RIGHT!! hahaha- I went to bed at 1:30, and got up 3 times before 4:30 came around. So I slept in until 7:15, and started my shopping by 8am. This was my first "Black Friday" experience and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! I got some really good deals for Christmas shopping, but MAN OH MAN was I tired come 5o'clock!!

You're probably wondering if I had Ruben- NOPE : ) Sandor had to plow ALL day AGAIN because it snowed 9-plus inches Thursday night...
Sandor put Ruben's car seat in his pickup and they plowed for 5 hours!! This made Sandor's day, Ruben had a BLAST and LOVED every minute of this day : ) Sandor said that Ruben didn't fuss or cry, and watched out the windows the whole time!! OK- so I am totally having a PROUD MOMMA moment!! Sandor and I are SO blessed with such an awesome little boy!! God is good : )
Below is a picture of Ruben in his toddler bed!! He has had a GREAT transition and LOVES his bed... such a blessing!

Asher and I have an appointment on Monday, and I am looking forward to this one- it's FINALLY the one where we decide how Asher will be born!! So pray that its a decision that is made with wisdom!! I will for sure post a blog with the outcome...
This is a picture from Ellie's 13th birthday party, Ruben LOVED this car, and a Bob the Builder Tractor!
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, and had good food with family! I miss SO many of you, and hope that we get to see each other sooner then later : )
