Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving with Dave {Joey's dad} in Sheridan, WY. Everything would have been great, but poor Marryn woke up on Thanksgiving with a pretty high fever. (Okay, so we never actually took her temp, but she was roasting!) She slept most the day, didn't eat and when we told her that I was going to stay "home" with her (vs going to Dennis and Musette's {Joey's uncle and aunt}), she got even more upset! "I want to go to the Thanksgiving Party!" she kept telling us. So we took her. There were quite a few people there (around 28 or so) and I'm sure they were all thinking why in the world did we bring her! Poor thing. She drank a few drinks of soda, ate half a Popsicle and then cried unless Joey or I were holding her. After taking shifts on dinner, she finally fell asleep. And all the while still insisting that she wanted to stay at the party.... Reganne was great. Kept herself entertained visiting everyone, eating anything anyone gave to her and wandering around the house. Reganne just had a blast the entire trip. LOVES her Grandpa! At one point Dave tried to hand her to me when he was headed out the door and she looked at me, thought for a second and grabbed back onto him! Didn't want to come to me! I don't think she's ever really done that. You'd think I'd be upset, but I love to see the girls adore their grandparents, especially when they don't get to see them all the time. Although Marryn woke up the next day feeling better, she still had a rough time. Would hardly eat anything but kept complaining that her stomach hurt and that she needed some more pink pills (the chewable Tylenol-not such a good idea to make medicine taste so good...). She would get almost unbearable to deal with until we would finally get some food in her, then she'd be herself for a bit. I left both the girls with Joey on "Black Friday" while I went to Billings, MT with Chris {Dave's girlfriend} and her daughter to do some shopping (sales tax free!). It was the first time he's been with them both all day without me. It was nice to see that they were all still in their pjs when I got home that night....
