Thanksgiving 2011 was quite eventful. Per tradition, we alternate years between the Piners and the Coxes. This year it was our year with the Piners. My mom opens their home to both her and my dad's sides of the family (totally 22 people). I love having all my family in one place and I love all the delicious food my mom, aunts, and cousins make.
Sadly this year though, it was not quite as fun. Thursday morning I was trying to rock Oliver to sleep for a nap before everyone got there. After he fell asleep in my arms, I stood up to put him in the pack-n- play and extreme pain shot down my back. I immediately fell back in the chair, yelling for someone to come help. It took a while for anyone to hear since they were cooking and all the doors were closed. Finally, they came to my rescue. I spent the rest of the day stretched out in a recliner with heating pads and pain relievers.
I am so thankful for my family who was there to help with the boys that day. I felt like I wasn't really part of the celebration that much and sadly I took no pictures. Luckily my cousin Heather sent me this cute picture of the boys with her daughter Emma.
I hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving!
