Our Family Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving Day was a little different this year than it was last year. Last year, we had two little babies in tow that pretty much just sat there and were passed around from person to person while we ate, visited and so forth. This year, they were a little more mobile, to say the least! They were running everywhere and getting into everything. We brought their high chairs so we wouldn’t have to sit them in our laps while we attempted to eat and feed them at the same time. They both ate some yummy turkey that my aunt Gwen made, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole and their favorite, rolls. Their feast was much better tasting than last years feast of formula!
We are blessed in that my niece (7) and nephew (10) were there and more than willing to play with the boys, AKA chase them around so we can have a little break. They had fun playing with the sit and spin, their toys, play dough and sliding down the slide.
We had a great time with my family and then it was time to head over to Jonathan’s parents house for round 2. His cousins had already left before we got there but we did get to see some family before they headed out too.
The boys didn’t get much of a nap that day – maybe 20 minutes in the car - so they were pretty sleepy and cranky by 5:00 or so. We visited with Jonathan’s family for a little while and then headed home so we could get the boys in bed before total meltdowns occurred. Here are some pictures of our fun from that day. Some of them are from my phone so they are a little blurry.

Lastly, here is a picture of the boys last year at Thanksgiving and this year….it’s crazy how much they have grown in a year!
