Thankful for...everything! :)

Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope everyone had a wonderful time wherever you may have been!  Josh and I especially thought this week was awesome because we went to Vegas.  We left last Friday morning and returned Monday about noon.  This was kind of a belated 5th anniversary vacation for Josh and I and my parents gift to us for our birthdays this year--sweet!  It's really nice because they have a direct flight from Grand Island to Vegas so not a lot of driving at all.  We had so much fun, had a great room on the strip, and did and saw so many thing!  It was AWESOME! :)

Nana and Papa watched Jolie and Petey while we were gone and they had a great time too! They took Jolie to a Mannheim Steamroller concert and SHE LOVED IT!  They had great seats in the first row and she apparently even made friends with some of them playing in the band (ahhh---she's a groupie!!!)  Jolie would clap after each song and just thought the whole thing was great!  They also had large screens up front where they would play videos or something to go along with the music, so she probably just thought she was at a live music video (she loves music videos!).

Thanksgiving was great!  We have all recovered from the food coma!  We went to Wood River and saw all of Jolie's cousins--Sam, Hayden, Hannah, and Sydney. Then Josh and I both had to work on Friday so she stayed AGAIN with Nana and Papa (we might have to move a dresser over there--haha!)  We went to the new Muppets movie on Friday night with the Wulfs, Culleys and Uncle Brett (it was Jolie's first movie at the theater) and she did great!  She was really into the whole thing, besides switching seats a few times, and even ate popcorn!  I think she's a Muppet fan and we all enjoyed the movie too!  Can't wait for that DVD to come out!

On Saturday, the Culley's were headed back to Kansas City so we went back over to Great-Grandma and Grandpa Dibbern's and ate breakfast.  Then we went back over to Nana and Papa's for the afternoon.  Uncle Brett and Uncle Michael were there so Jolie took full advantage of asking 'sat?' (what's that?) to everyone...lots.  It's her new favorite thing.  She also found nail polish and this girlie girl loves herself a pedicure.  She even got Uncle Brett to paint her nails! :)  Cute!  She has Uncle Brett wrapped around her finger.

As if we didn't already do enough, we went to a hockey game Saturday night with the Burg's (they have Reagan, 3 and Cole, 1) and had lots of fun running around with them, eating M&Ms and lots of giggles!  

So today, we declared it 'Do Nothing Sunday!' and didn't leave the house--it was also awesome! :)  I'm thinking this 'regular' week is going to be an adjustment for all of us from last week!
