Thanksgiving in Tucson

I have barely unpacked, let alone found the camera and cord to download our photos from last week, so that will have to come later. Right now I'm in a tizzy trying to figure out how to pack approximately 2,548 things into the next 3-4 weeks. The holiday stress fun has begun!

We drove to Tucson the weekend before Thanksgiving, and spent the whole week with my sister and her family. The kids were in HEAVEN. The parents were mildly amused. All in all, it went well, minus the sleep thing. The title to this post could also be:

• Does Not Sleep Well Away From Home (mostly Luke)

There are a lot of other good titles out there, actually. Maybe I'll just use titles to tell you about our trip.

• Birthday Parties and Turkey, Oh My! (Happy First Birthday, Lucy!)
• Our First Black Friday Shopping Trip, by Jessica and Jennifer
• Mmmmm, Good Beer
• Mmmmm, Excellent Mexican Food
• Mmmmm, Turkey, Stuffing, Habanero Mashed Potatoes...you get the idea
• Oops, I Messed Up My Running Schedule; I hope 9 Miles Instead of 10 Will Not Destroy Me Next Weekend
• Yay, Bookmans!
• WHY Do We Always Get Stuck at the Hoover Dam?
• Seriously, We Have to Drive All the Way Back to Kingman to Go Around the Damn Dam?
• Tucson to Las Vegas: the Longest Trip Yet (30 Hours)
• Can Everyone Just Be Healthy For Like a Week? Please?

I finally ordered our Christmas cards. Hopefully you will receive them before Christmas.

Christmas shopping! Aggggggghhhhhhhh! Christmas tree? Not yet. Maybe next week? Why does everything happen at once?

Now we're off to the dentist for the girls' first teeth cleaning. I've been trying to talk it up. There are movies there! The dentist is so nice! He will tell you to say 'aaaaahhh'. Can you say 'aaaaahhhh'? Yay! I'll let you know how it goes.
