Thanksgiving
The last two weekends have been full!
We had three thanksgiving meals which allowed us to visit a lot of family, we met Julie's new boyfriend Wole and had some adult gaming fun at Brian's moms playing ticket to ride after the kids went to bed. Unfortunately my mom wasn't feeling up for a gathering but instead my brother Joe and I squeezed in a visit with my aunt Nancy and uncle Kent to see their house renovations that my dad did. I can't believe the changes! Then we enjoyed a full day with my dad, Brenda, my sister, her husband, my brother, all my nieces and nephews and my sisters exchange student Rochelle who was super fun to talk with as we could share European stories.
Finally we finished the weekend with a duck dinner at Brian's dad's house.
This weekend we had a visit with some of Brian's public school friends to celebrate Brian's friend Derek's 40th birthday. I think the boys had a fantastic time. Hadley made the best of the million little boys with nerf guns and finally put herself to bed in a back room all by herself at a sensible 8:30pm, while Easton and the boys ran around the house until 12:30am!
The adults played board games and reminisced with BEvERages of course.
And just because it worked, we also fit in a Verkley fall BBQ with a garage full of people and about 100 pounds of beef to be BBQ'd at Brian's aunt Maria's.
Then on the way back home we took Brian to the airport for his first trip with the new company to New York City.
I am thankful for all the wonderful people we have in our lives!
