Late Thanksgiving post

I just found a little bit of time and so I thought I would post about Thanksgiving. This is perfect timing for me seeing as it's a few days before Christmas!!

My sister and I went to Wisconsin to visit family that we haven't seen in 6+ years!! It was a blast!! My cousins are all HUGE!! Not fat, just grown up!! The youngest one is 14 and I think even she is taller than me... I'm not sure that's how it's supposed to work - could someone please let her know?

Thanksgiving Dinner was great - thanks Auntie Joanne!! And the best part of the whole day was the fact that I got to spend time with my grandmother. All the younger cousins call her Staramama (Slovenian for Grandma). Everyone told us how happy she was that we came to see her - that's happiness that reciprocates!! We had a great time taking pictures, playing games and watching old home movies.

One night my aunt and uncle took us to a comedy club called Comedy Sportz where two teams of improv comedians compete for points. I have to say I was very entertained. My cousin, Samantha, kept asking me if I was alright because I was laughing so hard!! My sister actually went up on stage to compete in one of the games and she was fantastic!! (See picture of her having a wonderful time on stage!)

It was sad to leave such a great time up there (and the weather was great, too!!) but it just makes me want to go back and visit again. I guess that's the best part about it.

Hopefully I won't take quite this long to post about Christmas!!!

Happy Holidays everyone!!!!!!!!!!!
