Not the best Thanksgiving!

 It isn't Thanksgiving without a little Turkey Bowl Football...so this is how we started our vacation in Mesa.
 It was fun to see all the family, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandad, grandma, great grandma...there isn't anything that can compare to family!
 Here is cute Logan, Preston, and Max.
 Then we had a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner at Grandad and Grandma's house.  Lots of yummy food!
 But then the flu set in Thanksgiving night.  Reilynn started throwing up first, and she continued to throw up for a solid 6 hours...
 Then Addison woke up early that morning throwing up.  Not fun!  Mark had tickets to a football game with some high school friends, and he was reluctant to go when kids weren't feeling great, but I told him we were fine and he headed out Friday morning.
 Friday late afternoon, I started throwing up (First in my brother-in-law's front yard...sorry again Jeff!) and threw up most of the night.  A big thanks to Grandad and Grandma for taking my kids for me!  Then Saturday I felt awful (pregnancy awful), and then Saturday night, Bailey threw up all night.
 We got up Sunday morning, packed the car and started the 19 hour drive home.  Kasidee threw up the first 7 hours of the trip.  We stopped in El Paso for the night, and Mark threw up that whole night in the hotel.  The next day we only made it another 7 hours, with Parker throwing up the last part of the car trip, and we stopped in Kerrville at another hotel.  Parker continued throwing up that night at the hotel.  We drove the last 5 hours, that felt like eternity, but we finally made it home.
I threw up a couple more times when we got home, and I think we finally had it out of all our systems.  Needless to say....we have had better Thanksgivings!
