TheShubertFam is home and unpacked. Whew. Brooks is snoozing on the couch. He has had an especially busy week.
Wednesday we got up, and Brooks and I drove Chris to UAB to take a mid-term. I packed the car the night before. Brooks and I sat in the car and read while Chris took his test. He made an A. Of course. After that we were on our way to Curry. Chris, Mom, and I met Margie, Courtney, and Mason at Cujo's for lunch. We met up with my dad and Brooks. We rode to Burton Bend (Chris's river property) because my mom wanted to see the ducks. We probably saw around a thousand ducks. Incredible. After that, it was back to my parents' to work on Thanksgiving prep. I worked so hard to get everything ready. You know all those cookies I made? It took FOREVER!!! I got in bed around 11:30. But the cookies were delicious.
Thursday we got up and finished preparing everything. Chris and Dave fried two turkeys, successfully. Family started arriving around 11:30. Glenda, Richard, Richie, Vernell, Don, Bryan, Lori, Anna, and Abby. Chris was not finished carving the turkey, so we went in the yard and made some pics.

After we ate, we cleaned the kitchen. Chris loaded up all of our stuff so we could make our way to Sipsey. Brad came by to visit, but we only got to see him a few minutes before we had to leave. Paul was at Chris's mom's hunting. He ate with us at Mawmaw's house. My desserts were a hit, of course.
Yesterday, Chris, Paul, and Patrick got up early to go duck hunting. Brooks and I were tired, so we skipped out. I got up a little later and got ready and went to my parents to visit for a while. My head was hurting so I took some Tylenol and laid down on the couch. I woke up two hours later. Oh well. I stayed a little longer and then went back to Sipsey to get Chris and Brooks. Chris informed me that Brooks treed a squirrel, Chris shot it, and they cooked it on the grill. Chris and Brooks proceeded to eat the grilled squirrel. I am not even a little bit sad that I missed this. Brooks was super-tired when I arrived at Connie's house. Chris loaded the car and we were on our way. I unpacked EVERYTHING when we got home. I even did a few loads of laundry. Now I am going to start on some work so I can finish my last week of undergrad!

That is a super busy Thanksgiving holiday!
We've got to figure out when we can get together... I miss you! I hope this week goes by super fast for you, so that it'll be OVER.
I tried to get Quinn to say "ShubertFam" and every time he just looks up at the fans. I guess he thinks I'm saying "fan"... Jonathan told him to tackle me the other day, and he came charging at me squealing and stopped about an inch away and proceeded to tickle me.
Love the pics! When did Chris grow a beard? Do you like that? Chad is always doing something different with his facial hair. I wish he would just keep it shaved.
Oh, I'm not the only wife who thinks that her husband should just stay clean-shaven??? I feel better knowing I'm not alone. haha
He shaved last night...It was "No Shave November" per Rick and Bubba. I don't like Rick and Bubba, or facial hair. Yuck.
oh, you wanna know what was cool about the squirrel adventure. We shot 2 squirrels, cleaned them, cooked them and ate them all from the the back yard. Yep never had to leave the yard. The grilled squirrel was good. Oh, and I loved the beard.
