This time last year we spent Thanksgiving with Megan and Joe, Megan and I were uncomfortably pregnant. This year was a different story and we had so much fun in Idaho Falls...the babies loved playing together. Here is our Thanksgiving week in a snap shot.
The day before Thanksgiving Megan and the girls came over whilst everyone else was at work. We took an adventurous trip to WalMart and then made some Christmas Ornaments with the kids (I will blog about those later...they turned out SUPER cute!)
Thanksgiving Day we went to Joe's sister's house and had a DELICIOUS feast. Lucas slept through dinner and woke up just in time for pie, fed to him by Papa. Apparently Lucas LOVES pumpkin pie!
We saved Lucas a bag of food to eat later. Here he is enjoying his first Thanksgiving meal. He may not look too happy, that's because I kept calling his name for a picture...he wanted to be left alone to eat!
Us on Thanksgiving Day! Poor Lucas isn't smiling as much these days due to his sore gums :(
These two are best buds, they were inseparable the whole week! Wherever Ellie goes Lucas is right behind her wishing he could walk too! When they saw each other the first day they crawled to each other, hugged and laughed! It was soo cute!
Many a bath was needed during the week, that was always an adventure left for Grammy!
Thanksgiving night Megan, Kathy and I ventured out for some Black Friday shopping. We went to WalMart, felt violated and left. Next we snuck into the middle of the line at Kohls tried on boots, couldn't find the end of the checkout line and left. Then we went to Old Navy, Megan tried on some jeans and realized saving $15 wasn't worth an hour wait in line. We got home at 2am...bought nothing, but had way too much fun! We decided that for Black Friday you gotta be all in or all out. Next year I think we will be all out. It was fun though!!
We had a fun week and were so grateful for the break from school and work. We can't wait until Christmas!
I am so grateful for my family, the Gospel and the many blessings we are given daily!
