Thanksgiving At Our House

I know this is way behind, but here are our Thanksgiving photos finally. We had my parents, and two sisters and their families at our home for two days. Briana's husband Craig was sick with strep throat the whole time and couldn't even touch his turkey dinner, but I think everyone else had a good time. :)
Reese flew in before her parents and we got to have her with us for a few extra days. I LOVE how well she and Nora get along now! From the moment we strapped her in our car to take her to our house, she and Nora were busy pretending with their little figurines. So fun! I have such fond memories of playing with cousins as a girl. I really hope our girls will have time to build the same kind of memories.


Here's most of us lounging after Thanksgiving dinner. Branden cooked the lions' share of the food and it was delicious! I am so lucky to have such a fantastic chef for a husband.
And here is my son, gnawing on a turkey bone. Classy Ike, classy.
Fun time (?) with cousin play.

The next day the weather was nice enough to head out to a park and enjoy the fresh air.

See how Carter is helping his CHILD play? And look, below how with Branden it is the opposite. Hmm... :) You're great Honey!

On Saturday Briana, Craig, Claire, and Dad took off in the early morning, but we took the rest of the crew to a super cool Christmas tree farm up in Reedley.

Reese riding the train with Gramma!

Nora HAD to be in the cattle car. Before she even saw the train, she was begging to go into the "Dumbo" car. She remembered it from last year when she was not even two and a half! She often surprises me with her memory!



We all took a turn up the tree house which has a great view of the whole tree farm.

This really looks like a safe piece of play equipment, right?

Thanks everyone for making the trip down here! I know it added several hours to your travel plans, but we LOVED having you all here! Christmas at our place next year? :)
