Anne's visit and Thanksgiving

So I had a post of this typed up a while ago, but it kept having issues, so I decided to scrap it and start over. Only that means you're going to get a very abbreviated version, because I have oodles of blog catch up to do.

Anne came about a week before Thanksgiving. We were so excited to have her come! It was nice to have extra hands around the house again. Especially because we found out that week that there was a 2 bedroom apartment in our complex opening up in the exact location we wanted within the complex. We decided to jump on that opportunity, so she was here to help us pack and move. I don't know how we would have managed without her! Anne got to come to Dean's one month well checkup and cooked us lots of yummy food and we all had a good time.

The Tuesday before Thanksgiving we packed up and headed to the house we were staying at for the week. It's one of Trevor's friend's parent's houses. They don't live there full time, so it was open for us to use. And it's a pretty awesome house. That night, Rob's family drove from Lubbock on their way to Utah. They stopped overnight so we got to visit and eat yummy croissants for breakfast. We were glad they were able to make the stop.



They left Wednesday morning and the rest of the Coxes drove down from Utah that afternoon. The two Cox groups were able to meet up for a few minutes as their paths crossed. While Jon, Katie, Melissa, Jenny Jo & CC joined us, we had lots of fun playing games and chatting. Everyone but me enjoyed the warm hot tub and heated pool. I wasn't 6 weeks postpartum yet so I couldn't go in. Lame sauce. Thanksgiving day we had some pretty yummy food. And then I had a short gallbladder attack (more on that in a different post).




Friday we went to the Desert Botanical Gardens to see the Chihuly exhibit. He's a glass blower and they had his pieces throughout the gardens.





We played more games and did more hot tubbing that night before everyone drove home on Saturday. It was a fun visit! Also, I don't have ANY pics of Melissa, Jenny Jo, CC, Katie, or Jon. How did that happen? I need to be better at picture taking.
