Ok, I have been a bad blogger lately. Things have been pretty hectic lately!!! So, for thanksgiving my family and I headed up to Ohio with my little cousin Noah. The trip started out by having a horrible car ride up there. Traffic was ridiculous! I think we were in stand-still for most of the trip. We finally arrived at 2:30am Thanksgiving morning. My dad and I at my grandma Hopper's and my mom and Noah at Grandma Newtons. Had Thanksgiving at Grandma Hoppers in the morning and then headed to Grandma Newtons. (sidenote- my mom's mom is grandma newton. G-Newton has/had 12 kids!!! I know right!! There are 31 grandchildren, a lot are married and there are a good bit of great-grandkids!! Let's just say CRAZY, but also a lot of fun!!!) I love having a big family!! Thanksgiving night I stayed with my aunt Cessie, and her kids Nolan and Natalie. These kids have to be the best in the world!! Nolan is 13, and Natalie is 9(going on 25)!!! Nats and i got up at 4:30 on Black Friday and hit the stores!! Saturday we all headed to Columbus for a good ol'Newton wedding. My cousin Amanda married her long time love Joe!! It was a great ceremony and a wonderful reception. I also got to see their cute little baby boy, Desmond.
Now, Newton weddings are a lot of fun. Since we have such a huge family, you definitely know a ton of the guests!! My 80 something grandma even got out and danced!!!
Sunday we headed home!! And like the ride up there we got stuck in traffic!! It should have only taken us about 9 hours to get home, but really it was 13!!
I was a little sad to come home!! It is so nice to be around the family and I miss them a lot!! I just wish we could move them all, well most down here to SC!!! It was nice though to come back to the nice weather and my husband and dog!!
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving as well!!!

Sounds like a craxy but fun-filled trip--glad you enjoyed it...and glad I got to see y'all the other night. ;-)
That sounds like a great way to spend Thanksgiving. I can't believe thought that you got up at 4:30 in the morning!
And, yes you have been a bad blogger lately.
:)
Hello from SC!! I saw you lived here as well and just wanted to say a friendly hello. :o) Love your blog.
No WONDER you were trying to get sick...that's a lot of stuff!!
Love the updates...keep em coming =)
Woo. That trip sounded wild and out! ;-) I can't even imagine having a giant family like that...i would go nuts. But I guess a small family probably sounds nuts to you! I'm glad you had a good visit and got home safe. The Carolina's are always a great place to come home too!!
