The Billups Family: Thanksgiving, a parade, and the emergency room

We had a great Thanksgiving weekend. Well most of it anyway. Thursday morning, Dante, Kainoa, and I took Kaipo to the park for some soccer. We actually had a mini game, Daddy and I against Kainoa and Kaipo (Noa picked the teams), obviously the game didn't last very long. After that we were off to mom's for a very mellow Thanksgiving dinner. Everything was so yummy, and we all ate WAY TOO MUCH! Below is a picture of Kainoa, Mom and I, taken in their back yard.

We headed out of there around 7PM, and decided to surprise Avo and Nana with a visit, and they were so happy to see us. We hung out there and visited with my parents, my cousin and her son, and my Aunt and Uncle. We didn't stay long cause we were leaving for Sonora on Friday, where we would be hanging out with all of them for the weekend. Saturday morning Dane hit the Black Friday sales, and I stayed home with the kids (cousin Jaydon spent the night) and got ready for Sonora. We arrived later than we planned and had to hurry because we were going to the the Sonora Christmas Parade. It was so much fun to watch Kainoa at the parade, he was so excited, and would wave to all the people that were waving to us from their floats. He had so much joy and excitement in his eyes, it was PERFECT! Below are some pictures from the parade.

Saturday we woke up, and Dante was having problems walking on his foot. After debating over it for a couple of hours, we finally decided to go to the emergency room. Much faster process when you aren't in the city, after only an hour and a half, we were out of there, with Dante on crutches, he had a bad sprain and wasn't suppose to walk on it. Here are pictures of daddy in bed like a good boy, and Noa keeping him company.
