This year we spent Thanksgiving with my whole family. I learned that there's nothing better than having all 10 adults and 4 babies under the same roof for a week, chaos and all. Our family has grown so much the past few years. JD and I feel so lucky to have sister and brother in laws that really are our best friends! Anyways, I'll give the short version of what we crammed into the time we had together. Before Thanksgiving the girls saw Twilight together of course, and the boys snuck off to play tennis and golf. The kids loved having each other to play with. Maddie adores Kamryn, and followed her and Briggs around all week. Dylan is still the little guy, but was interested in everything that was going on.
Thanksgiving morning we all ran a 5k. It was a perfect ending to our "Biggest Loser/ Fitness challenge." Then we went home and stuffed our faces with deliciousness. It was sooo good! Jessie's homemade rolls were my favorite. Guess she did learn something in college :). We were too busy eating that we didn't even get a picture of the food! Bummer.
If you know my family, you know we love to play, and love to compete even more. So between the race, tennis tournament, rummikub tournament, and golf for the guys, we were satisfied.
My dad got us all tickets to Mary Poppins in LA. We left the babies with sitters and took Kami. She stayed awake the whole time and felt like such a big girl. Here's our studly men:
And the girls:
The whole gang.
More Highlights: Funny pedicure experience, Briggsie walking, Shopping at Target, Finishing our countdown blocks (thanks Whitney!), Kami's comments about certain body parts, Maddie's newest word "No," Beating mom and dad in tennis, Dylan's smiley face, Cinnamon rolls, Kids playing in the back yard...
I know that I have so much to be thankful for. I thank my Heavenly Father every day for our health, for our jobs, for the gospel, for my sweet baby, for the situation we're in, and especially for my husband and our families. Hope you had a great day. Now it's time to focus on Christmas! Where did November go?!?
