It was a lovely Thanksgiving! Jon, Susan, Dane and Hayden came from Texas to celebrate with us, and it was so nice to have my side of the family all together again. Patrick and Karen hosted, so we all gathered at their house for the day and relaxed, ate delicious food, celebrated Braxton, Bryson and Dane's birthdays, and enjoyed being together.
The kids had the most fun outside, because since we'd been to their house Patrick has added a zip line. The girls played on it almost the entire time. The boys played football, and Matt even joined in to lead a scrimmage (Bryson and Dane won).
Jon and Susan stayed with us for their visit, and there was a lot of laughter, games, whispering, and more football. Little Man and Dane played chess, and to Little Man's shock, he didn't lose! He played Dane to a stalemate, which he took as a massive win, and ran whooping around the house.
The next day, Fran and Sally came over, and we had another Thanksgiving celebration (with lasagna this time). We watched football and played many rounds of Uno.
My heart is full! Now we look forward to Christmas.
