Birthdays and Thanskgiving

It has been quite busy since my last post on Allysa's birthday!
The girls finished up cheering at the annual cheer expo- they did AWESOME! I am not just saying this as the mom or friend of the coaches but they were absolutely one of the most polished squads out there. It has been a challenging year with the Hilliard Optimist Program so it came as a HUGE surprise when the squad won Most Spririted!!! Very proud of the hard work of the team and their coaches!!!
That same weekend we hosted the girls Family Birthday Party/ OSU vs. PSU. The day starts with celebrating the girls birthdays with family and friends and then transitions to watching the Bucks!! The girls made out like bandits which really is not a new!! We had a wonderful time with EVERYONE and we got to know our new neighbors( Mike and Andrea) ALOT better. I am happy to say they were welcomed with open arms even in their PSU attire and Mike did enjoy himself most of the 1st half but in the end the Bucks won!!!
Then Kevin and Jay ventured to Pittsburgh that same weekend to watch the Steelers and Patriots. There really is nothing to say here except we got our Butts Beat and Jay really enjoyed himself :)
The following weekend, we were just trying to get things done before leaving for WV for Thanksgiving. This year we went home a day early and came back a day early in hopes of getting more done here. Unfortunately that did not happen since I got a cold and have been sleeping alot. I did manage to get one Christmas tree up and few other things. I am hoping today once everyone is gone, I can finish up the majority including getting some other things done.
Although, I was a bit of downer the girls got to spend time with both grandparents and sets of cousins. In the end, that is the most important.
The weekend ended with a Bucks and (UGLY) Steeler win, a win is win.
Now that Thanksgiving weekend is winding to end and the Christmas madness starts. I hope all my family and friends had a wonderful holiday and want to take this moment to say I love you all and I am VERY blessed to have all you in my life.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our Family and Friends
