I had a great thanksgiving. It was fun and relaxing and much needed.Ryan and I both took the entire week off.
What wild adventures did we have? Seriously Madison and I hung around the house and did a whole lot of nothing except for hanging out with Ryan's family. 
Ryan did go one a few bunny hunts which was evidently a blast. They didn't get too many, but he evidently got a field mouse with the 22...
One night while we were there we went to Emily's basketball game and I have never seen a basketball game like it. They literally were ripping the ball out of each others hands, it freaked
On thanksgiving we drove down to lund and had dinner with the majority of Ryan's family. We had fifty people there and that's with one of Ryan's uncles family missing and a cousin from the Fuges. I found it crazy because I didn't even realize I hadn't met some of them before and I thought I had. It blew my mind with all of us in the same room.
One of Ryan's cousins was a photographer and she took some group pictures.
Madison realized one of the doors was open and she booked it. 
His cousin Annie took a few really cute pictures of Madison on the loose... I can't wait til I can get my hands on them!

bit... they were going in front semis.
(yes I did jump out of the car to get a picture of it)
It was an interesting night since the stuffing made a few of the family sick... so it was a smelly smelly night.
The cousins spent the night for two nights which was fun.
They played cops and robbers one night which ended in Emily ripping her pants, having to go back out to find her Dads cell phone, and the van Ryan was driving died.
Now why would a group of teenagers be playing cops and robbers you might ask? Well Ely is probably the only city you can play this game properly. You have a few groups of teenagers go and run around the city trying to get to meet up points. They are trying to avoid getting into the headlights of the "cops" which is a group of adults driving around trying to find the "robbers"
evidently the games get huge and are a ton of fun.
I discovered that Madison loves trampolines. I don't know how she even knew how they worked! I put her on the tramp and she looked at me and started to bounce herself. It was seriously the cutest thing possible.
We all got weirdly sick while we were up there. Madison's nose ran for the first time in her life, and Ryan and I got weirdly congested. I believe it was from the higher elevation and the extreme cold shock that we experienced.
All in all our trip was a blast...
I made some poor souls life horrible though. We stayed at motel 6 for the week and the manager tried to lie to me... a few times, and it would really make you sick if I said what he was lying about. So needless to say after a horrible email to the company after we left we now have a free
nights stay at any motel six to use.
We got home and tried to relax and I went about my mountain of laundry. It took me about six or seven loads but I was finally able to catch up.
After I had the laundry all done I set up our Christmas tree with ornaments missing from the bottom.
I'm thankful that Madison hasn't been too attracted to the tree. She will crawl up to it touch one light bulb and then loose interest and crawl away.
Monday November 28th I then went over to my moms house and set up her tree with Madisons help. She was a lot more interested in this than my house. She touched my moms dog for the first time which made me cringe. She can touch the cat... just not the dog. I'm glad she only "touched" her (she kind of pat/smacked her on the head) once.
I'm in charge of decorating my moms tree because if my mom did her own tree *cringes* It would turn out a hot mess (with all the love in my heart) It would have like 20 year old ornaments that don't match at all and its just random, so in the best interest of the tree my moms not allowed to decorate her own tree lol!
Sunday December 4th Madison was... wrestling me while she was eating. She was rolling and twisting while she was eating. She hasn't gotten the fear of heights yet so she rolled right off the bed. The way she landed she must have hurt her arm because she wouldn't crawl, for two days. I called her pediatrician and made an appointment for Tuesday to get her checked out. The way she wouldn't lift her arm past a certian spot and wouldn't put any weight on it. She thought she might have broken her collar bone or her shoulder. So off to be xrayed we went. It took us about three hours all in all to be xrayed. They took one round then sent us back to get more done at different angles. I found out that she didn't break anything which was a huge weight off my shoulders.
Madison can be a little stinker somedays. When she was eating the other night she would look at me grab a handful of food, laugh, then drop it on the ground, then repeat. She also has taken to sometimes just refusing to take a nap. There are days though when you just love her sweet self so much you look past it all and just hug her.
I'm looking oh so forward to Madison's first Christmas. I know shes going to have a blast with all of the wrapping paper. Ryan wants me to make our stockings this year. I have never sewn anything with a sewing machine in my life. I'll wing it...
I'm proudly able to say right now I'm feeding two babies at once. Would you like me to back up because I promise I'm not pregnant right now. Have you ever hit a point in your friendship with a person that you would do anything for them? Well I hit that point with one of my friends. She called me and asked me if I wasn't using my pumped milk. I had a freezer full and I was doing nothing with it. Once she started in I knew I had been saving my milk for her. So Off I shipped my milk and started pumping again... That day was November 16th. From that day since I have 172.5 oz of milk in my freezer just waiting until she asks for more. Yes I am a milk cow, but I'm proud of it. I'm also proud that I am so close with this person that I will alter my life to make theirs easier.
Now hopefully I'll have time to post again soon and not have to wait a month and a half.
