Thanksgiving

Since I was just over a week away from my due date, I couldn’t travel for Thanksgiving, but my parents and Jess & Shane and their family were kind enough to travel up to our house so we could be with some family for Turkey Day. I have to admit I was pretty spoiled / lazy – they kicked me out of the kitchen if I tried to do too much – so I got to enjoy a wonderful meal without too much effort on my part. Everyone arrived late Wednesday night – we spent Thursday morning cooking (Mom, Jess and I) and playing in a turkey bowl (Dad, Shane, and Nate – the kids all played at the park while they were playing). After a delicious meal in the afternoon, we went on a nice walk and enjoyed our pie.

Mom, Jess and I went out for some Black Friday shopping on Friday morning/afternoon while the kids played and went to the church gym to get some energy out. I was hoping to (and was pretty successful) get most / all of my Christmas shopping done so I would have it ready before the baby came. We spent some time at the park on Saturday morning before everyone headed out in the afternoon. Overall a relaxing weekend and fun to have family in town visiting! Sadly, we only got a couple pictures.
