Thanksgiving was kinda weird this year since it was Zack and Mal's year with the in-laws. Bob, Maddi, and I decided to go to Bob's mom's for dinner with his siblings. It was fun to visit and laugh with everyone. We came home and waited for Mal and Tom to come over for pie. Maddi invited her friend, Andrew, to come as well so it was just the six of us (Zack and Kenzi stayed in Brigham to do the Black Friday sales). We'd been visiting for a while, had our pie, and all of a sudden, Mal and Tom got up and went outside. Mal had said she made little treat bags for her neighbors and decided she wanted to do them for family this year. She had sent Sammi's the week before with instructions to not open hers until Thanksgiving afternoon. She passed out little white gift bags with green tissue paper in them. (She apologized to Andrew for not having one for him...he said it was OK.) We all pulled the tissue paper out at the same time and screamed!!
How cool is this?!?!?!?!
I screamed, squealed, jumped up and down, you name it. I ran to her to hug her and just couldn't let go! Maddi kept saying, "You lied to me!!" (A couple of weeks ago, Mal told her smells were killing her and Maddi asked her if she was pregnant. Mal said, "No!" We excused her from lying that one time. :) ) Bob was in shock! After all the hugging, we found another little gift in there... our first picture of our baby!!
We'll find out in January what she's having but in the meantime, I'm looking for all kinds of cute stuff and bought my first material for rag blankets...one boy and one girl. I can't wait and figure whatever it is, I can put the other one away for future use.
So much to be thankful for!!!

Hurray for Mal and Tom!!! Hurray for Grandma! :)
NO WAY!!! I cannot believe my little Mal is going to be a Mommy. She will be such a sweet Mommy. Isn't it amazing how much this baby is loved before it is even born--such a lucky kid. Too bad Grandma isn't excited at all:) Lucky, lucky baby!
