We were so blessed to be able to spend Thanksgiving with nearby family! It's been so much fun to watch the tables grow and the high chairs be discarded as the years have passed! We were joined this year by a newer family in Aaron's parents' ward, so we completely filled one long table for the kids and two long tables (end to end) for the adults!
And there was so, so, SO much food! There was enough for seconds and thirds and take-homes galore! It was really nice that, for me, this was the first year when I got to sit and enjoy my full meal and my kids nearly didn't need me! (Aaron was a dream and took Cole for all of dinner!)
After gorging ourselves, we all scattered and did several different things. There was a movie going on in the basement, as well playing with some toy building materials. Aaron and his dad watched the football game in the quiet of the master bedroom. Towers and babies and visiting happened in the living room. And a never-ending bar of pies and a game of Clue went on in the dining room. It was really an enjoyable get-together!!
