Our Great but Not so Good Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving Mark had a whole week off so we used our time wisely by going up the the family cabin with my side of the family. We love to go up there and it's nice to be around so much family when we go. We had my family, and then Grammy and Papa, Guy and Jen, and Gary and Amy. It was a lot of fun and all the kids had a blast! Roxy was in heaven with all the kids and endless exploring. Mark and Roxy had a lot of fun going out side and playing in the 4 inches of snow, which for the cabin at this time of the year is week. But they had a lot of fun. As for me I was in the cabin staying warm and trying not to move. The Saturday before Thanksgiving I got shingles and let me tell you they are not fun! I didn't want to move, be touched or even think about the two. I didn't know that there is medicine to help out with that until we got back into town and I was at my Dr.'s a week and a half after I broke out in them. But all is well that ends well right? I still have then but they are just about gone and no more pain. Well also when we were up at the cabin, a few people had some colds and poor Roxy got RSV again. Then Mark bless his heart was lucky enough to get a plugged eye duct. We really had it coming for us I guess. But we are all doing much better now. Needless to say it wasn't the best Thanksgiving ever but it will be the Thanksgiving we will never forget.

This was takin' right before Roxy and Mark headed outside.

Mark took Roxy on a 4-wheel ride and she loved it. She thought that she had to drive the whole time. Her hands were a little cold when she got back but she didn't mind at all.
