Thanksgiving time :)

Why do breaks go by so fast? I feel like I was home for two minutes. Oh well. In exactly two weeks from right now I will be at home again :)

Wednesday, November 23rd
I got to wake up at one in the morning (Minnesota time) to get ready to come home! I was home by 10 and spent the day in St. Cloud with my mom. At church that night there was the annual Thanksgiving pie social. It was so nice to see people that I hadn't seen since August!

Madison, her dad, her aunt, and I woke up early to go to St. Paul and run in the Thanksgiving 5k. We felt accomplished :) and then we didn't have to be guilty for all the food we ate later!

We were with my dad's side this year so 15 of us were at my house. It was a very relaxing, fun day! We ate (obviously!), talked, went for a walk in the woods, and played games. So much fun!

 Me with my cousins, Marina and Britta

I ended the day watching Iron Man 1 with my dad and Hunter. We are preparing for the movie The Avengers that comes out this summer :)

I slept in. That right there made my day. haha.

Kelly came over for a bit in the afternoon and it was so good to see her and catch up again! 

I had been waiting for this night for a long time. I finally got an anchor tattoo like the one my grandpa has! My cousins Wendy, Lynsi, and I went together and took Grandpa with us to get our tattoos :)

 Lynsi's first tattoo!

It was more painful than my last one

 My Grandpa and I :)

Live fast, die young ;)

 Love this picture of them with their matching tattoos!

 Mine and my Grandpa's tattoos

 family :) is what I am thankful for!

I am so glad my Grandpa was there for that experience! It meant so much :)

Over the rest of the weekend I got to see Amber and Kaitie, went to a movie with my mom, hung out and did nothing, and got a haircut. I'm counting down the days until I am back home again!
