Our Thanksgiving festivities were spent in Utah, this year. We loaded up the car and hit the road tuesday evening and drove late into the night and then all the next morning.
Overall, the girls were wonderful. It was much better than we had anticipated. We brought lots of books, coloring books, stickers, and other things to keep them entertained. Evette like to play peek a boo with Miriam and to read her books. It was nice that we split it into two days and that they were asleep for a lot of it as well. The husband and I ate dark chocolate and listened to Serial the podcast.
Right after we arrived at Matthew and Judy's house (Sean's aunt and uncle) I continued on the road for another 40 minutes to pick Rachel up from her roommates house so she could spend the weekend with us as well.
Evette loved playing with cousin Sam!
They have a "bounce-a-lean!"
So fun to spend time with some of our favorite people!
On Thanksgiving Day everyone had their assignments from food preparation, to watching the kids, to making cards for the seating arrangement.
Meeting Aunt Caitlan for the first time! (Miriam's face is awesome lol)
Unfortunately, this is the only picture of the table and it doesn't have food on it! But trust you me, it was amazing! Every kind of delicious Thanksgiving food was there - such happiness :)
And then the turkey coma set in...
And the rest of the day was filled with lounging, talking, games....
and of course, braids!! :)
Even Sean's hair was long enough to get a little french braid! HA!
Matthew and Judy were the perfect hosts and Thanksgiving was picture perfect! Filled with delicious food and wonderful family!
