We have been so lucky the past two days because Julie & Dillon came to visit! Though the Rose family doesn't live too far away it's hard for them to leave because of their duties at the ranch, so we only get to see them if someone has to get their wisdom teeth out or go to a doc for something. This visit had a two-fold mission as Julie had Dillon get his wisdom teeth out for his mission today so that she would have an excuse to be here for a race tomorrow that she had signed up for. When her and Jana signed up last month they didn't realize that it was on Thanksgiving Day so Julie got creative. :-) Luckily Dillon is a good sport and he didn't seem to be in too much pain. Tonight he was even munching down sweet and sour chicken. Last night we all met at Braza Grill for Dillon's "last meal" and sadly the company was the best part. The meat wasn't as good as Tucanos so now we know not to try anywhere else. Anyway, that night Mike got Dillon rocking out on the drums. It's priceless!

We even decided to catch a dollar movie last night and we brought Carter. It was actually our first time bringing Carter and he did pretty good. We didn't have to miss too much of the movie and Carter did well just playing in the aisle for most of the time. We definitely don't have a desire to take him again, but we're glad that we were able to go with everyone else.
On Wednesday Christina had to go to work as usual, and Mike had to go to school because his "wonderful" teacher thought it would be good to have a test the day before Thanksgiving break. It of course was his class that goes until 10 pm so he missed out on all the fun. Sarah and Julie were wonderful and cooked a delicious meal of sweet and sour chicken, egg rolls, and wontons. It was a lot of work, but tasted so good! The kids had fun playing and watching videos, and then we stayed up with Julie until about 2 even though we were all exhausted and she had to run a race the next day.
Julie and Jana had a great time running the Turkey Day 4k race. They ran the whole time and placed well before the end of the group. :-) We always love having family over and it was fun to have everyone in our home.
