thanksgiving for the burtons

what a great weekend. we spent our 10th straight year of thanksgivings at shawn's parents in mesquite. i have not been home to my house for thanksgiving in 10 years. and really, if i don't think to much about it, i am fine with it. thanksgiving with the burtons, christmas with the granquists. it really works out well.
shawn golfed 4 of the 5 days. i read, watched tv and movies, and really did nothing--much to my liking. the kids played with some cousins. anna had an all girl sleepover with aunt cami and the other girl cousins. we went four wheelin' in kc's (shawn's youngest bro) 60-something bronco all decked out with roll bars and big tires and axles and who knows what else. and we also went out in the rhino--a four-wheeler for two. i love it. mikey could not get enough of it. hop on and ride through the arizona desert (just across the street) to your heart's delight. the weather was spectacular for such a weekend.
a bonus this year: shawn's uncle gave us his room at the paris saturday night and took us to dinner. a mini vacation within the vacation. shawn's parents watched to kids. it was great.
we had a very nice thanksgiving weekend, indeed.

Sounds like fun! Of course I'm always interested in any gossip you pick up during your interaction with the inlaws. . . ; )
