Thanksgiving and Reno

Well, I havent posted lately, mainly due to school work, traveling and kids. I finally have a minute to let you know that we have had a busy month. We went to St. George for Thanksgiving with Virginia, Les & Valerie and their kids, Lee & Jeannie, Nikki and Erik. We were invited by Louis and Brooks to come and spend the holiday at their place. We went for 3 night and 4 days. It was nice to see all the family again and let the kids play together. After Thanksgiving dinner we played bingo, with fun prizes. It seems to now be a tradition when we get together to do it. We all love it. We then traveled home and was home for a week and a half before we then again traveled to Reno, Nevada to see Randle's dad John. Jesse and I have never been there and the last time Randle was out there was when he was a teenager. So it was good to go. It took us 9 hours to get out there on Thursday. We went to the Nevada State Railroad Museum on Friday, then to lunch, then to John and Laurel's place to visit. We had a little Christmas while we were out there. We each opened gifts and John & laurel had a great time watchin Jesse open his. He got some play food, a treasure chest that a day later was accidently thrown off of the 4th floor of our hotel by him experimenting, to which now is in two peices instead of one, clothes, cars, and a bubble gum machine. He loved everything.
Saturday, Randle went with John to load tables and chairs while Virginia, Jesse and I stayed in teh hotel. They were gone longer than we expected, so we werent able to go and do much until we went to Laurel's daughters for dinner. After dinner Randle and I decided since Jesse was cooped in the hotel most of the day that we would take him to Circus Circus to play games. He loved it. He got 440 tickets, to which he picked out a gun and 40 tootsie rolls.
We headed home Sunday about 11, after having breakfast and saying our goodbyes. We got home alittle over nine hours later. IT was fun, but we are glad to be home. I sure missed my bed. I will post pics in a bit.
