Happy Thanksgiving!
Posted: November 25th, 2011 admin8 Comments »
We just came home from a great family Thanksgiving. We spent the day with my ex husband and his family. His wife, 3 children ( plus Ally) his parents, in laws and brother and his family. It reminded me of Allyson’s first thanksgiving. It was just as fun..just with a different husband and children that aren’t mine! I guess we are america’s version of MODERN FAMILY too. We spend over an hour looking at old home videos of when Ally was 7 years old. Listening to her voice was enough to bring me to tears. Bobby was so amazing. He didn’t make me feel guilty at ALL about not being with his children, grandchildren, sister and nieces etc. He understood how important family is to me and when Allyson said she would love to have her parents together for the holiday, he wouldn’t, couldn’t refuse her. We made chocolate chip cookies,added a beautiful silver bowl to put them in, wrapped gifts as if it was Hanukkah, and brought a bag of Skweez as presents for the ladies. I always come with my hands full. This morning I brought my ex and his son with Allyson to the Macy’s parade. We had amazing seats again and I uploaded lots of photos live on Twitter. I will post them again in my next newsletter. Please share with me your holiday stories! Lastly, I just added Amazon as an affiliate to my site on the right side of the page. If you planned on buying anything on amazon this holiday season, please click thru to them from my site? All the proceeds as an affiliate go to various children’s and health charities as well as toy drives that are coming up. Anything and everything helps.
Have a SAFE and Savings weekend. Share your stories here and your shopping tips!!
XOXO Jill

i went to my cousin’s house who just bought a house with her husband. It was the first holiday they hosted and it was nice being there and seeing her since i havent seen her in a while. Most of the people that were there was my cousin’s friends, her in laws and her husband’s family. I really liked getting to know them better and see them again since the last time i saw them was when they got married two years ago. Tomorrow i am having another thanksgiving get together for my family so all my family can gather together to see eachother since it is after thanksgiving so no one has other plans. My family loves any reason to get together so we can see eachother and get caught up xoxo

Because there is a sizeable time gap on the showing of the ‘Real Housewives’ here in the UK, the news of your departure has only recently become known. As you were the only person I actually liked (with the possible exception of Kelly) I shall not be watching any more which will make me less of a couch potato each afternoon! One presumes that the ghastly Ramona has been kept in the cast to enable viewers to let of steam by yelling abuse at their TV’s, surely it cannot be that Americans actually admire her depiction of a nasty argumentative tart.

Happy thanksgiving to you and your family. I am sorry to hear you are not returning for a 5th season of housewives. It has been very entertaining. Hopefully you can patch things up with Bravo in the near future. Good luck to you. God Bless

Happy Thanksgiving from rainy Scotland. I am so going to miss watching you on RH as you have kept me entertained whilst recovering from major surgery. You were the real star.
