I’m behind again on my photog-o-blogging, but wanted to give thanks for a great weekend we had over Thanksgiving with my in-laws.
It started with a super easy getaway on Wednesday night. Despite leaving during prime rush hour time, we hit nary a snag.
Amidst the scramble to get packed and out the door, this trio decided to plop themselves down in a fit of cute and mug for the camera.
Once we got to Grandma & Grandpas, we enjoyed great weather, great food and great fun. Mike & I started the day with a Crossfit workout (no pictures available, since I don’t like to document my misery). Then, everyone did what he or she did best.
Some played:
Some tasted bubble juice on their thumb…
Some worked out AGAIN:
While others prepped:
And still others napped:
While waiting for the turkey to cook, Grandma & Aunt Lana got in a quick game of competitive horseshoes. They consulted the directions to make sure the competition was legit.
Grandma’s got her eyes on the prize.
Si-Guy enjoyed the two wheeler Grandpa found for him.
Finally it was time to eat turkey. (And ham).
I made these delicious pull-apart rolls which were as scrumptious as they looked.
We ate at my in-laws, but were joined by my mom’s sister, husband and cousin. I am so thankful that our families are so well integrated and get along. It is a tremendous blessing.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
This half-pint couldn’t sit still through dinner, but found his seat and his daddy’s fork pretty quick when dessert was served.
After dinner, there was a little reading and a lot of being cute.
The next day, we celebrated Wendy’s birthday again. She didn’t complain 🙂
I get to blow them out again?
It was a great time with family. We are so thankful!
Looks like fun! And not to hit a snag during rush hour travel? Now THAT’s something to be thankful for.
So apparently you’ve joined Mike in crossfit enthusiasm? You go girl!
