We had the privilege of having Mike's whole entire family stay with us for the Thanksgiving holiday. We had a great time and our house didn't seem as small as I thought it would. Megan had a blast playing with her cousins, especially her bud Piper. We also got to meet Avalon, the newset addition to the Voakes Family. She is a very sweet baby, although I was glad that the baby days are done here when I heard her cry in the middle of the night. We also got to hear some of the wedding plans from Saundra and Vince. The wedding should be beautiful and a lot of fun. They are getting married on April 18th (the twins 2ns birthday). We packed in a lot
of stuff in the few days everyone was here. Friday morning we went to "America's Thanksgiving Parade" in downtown Detroit. It was a good parade but got a little chilly towards the end. We came home and had some snacks as we got the feast going. On Friday, myself, Beth, Sharon, and Steven went shopping in the wee hours of the morning. We made it back before anyone had rolled out of bed. The morning and early afternoon everyone just relaxed and then most of them took off again for Detroit to watch the Red Wing game, do a little gambling, and have the best pizza in the world at Pizza Popolis (can you belive they didn;t bring any leftovers home). While they were at the game, Beth, myself, and Sharon took the girls to have their pictures taken, it was a little interesting - 6 kids ages 5 and under! It went relatively well though. Saturday was relaxing and packing up.
Thank you everyone for coming to visit. We had a great time and spent the rest of the weekend relaxing!
