Thanksgiving week

Let's see...we returned from Wisconsin on Monday...

Tuesday evening, our friends in our neighborhood got together for a dessert feast. Everyone made a dessert and we all had little bites of everything! It was all soooo yummy! I'm sad I don't have any pictures from that night.

Wednesday evening, we went to our friends house for a "Friendsgiving."  Chris has hosted this for the past 4 years. It's so fun getting together with everyone and seeing our group "grow." When we first started doing this, there were only a couple, couples married, and 2 kids. Now, more are married or about to be and the kids have tripled.

This picture only shows some of the kiddos...there are 2 more that are not pictured. Everyone brings a side dish and Chris (or his wife), takes care of the turkey. This is like a full Thanksgiving dinner...with friends. The food is so great and the company is even better. It's so nice to catch up with everyone.


Colton and Colt, they are almost exactly a month apart. So cute!!!! They were beyond exhausted at this point.

We finally left after 11. Colton was asleep in no time. It was a great night and one of my favorites out of the year!

Thursday, of course was Thanksgiving. We had lunch at my Aunt Pam's house. Of course, more yummy food!

It's hard to believe this was Colton's 2nd Thanksgiving. After full bellies, we all left. Colton didn't have a nap that morning, so he was getting pretty tired. That evening, we headed to the lake with my family. We went over to spend a relaxing weekend at the lake. It was actually quite nice. Friday evening, we went to eat dinner at a mexican restaurant in Grove. They seriously have really good food!!! Then that night, we entertained ourselves...







It was a great week leading up to Thanksgiving and a great weekend after! I hope we end up going back more often during the "off season." But of course, I can't wait to spend the summer there as well. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family as well!
