Thomas and Kristen invited us all up to their house for Thanksgiving this year. It was nice to spend the days before this holiday relaxing (and doing some shopping) and not preparing our house for guests. We left around 9:30 on Thursday morning to get up to their house around 10:30. We were the first ones there and had a chance to catch up and relax before everyone else arrived.
Kristen did a great job putting together appetizers and the main courses of lunch. The rest of us brought sides to go along with the meal and my sister, Katy, brought LOTS of dessert! As usual, there was way too much food and it was hard to not overeat!

I think my favorite part of the day was watching Eli and Caleb interact more. Caleb is beginning to follow Eli around and copy him in a lot of ways. I think it's just a tiny view into what the future will hold with those two! I think Eli loves when "Cabab" gives him so much attention. Of course, I enjoyed that both boys are still young enough to take naps so we had about an hour or so of relaxing time too!

It was a wonderful day with family! Since then we have been slowly working on taking out the Christmas decorations and Jonathan braved Toys R Us on Black Friday! (Late in the afternoon with just two things on his list) Caleb seems to have a cold today so we're taking it easy and letting him rest. The weather has gotten cooler the past two days and we're enjoying staying cozy inside. I think it's a perfect way to continue our Thanksgiving through the weekend!
Hope everyone else enjoyed their Thanksgiving whether with family or friends, wherever you are! God is so good and we are very thankful for all of our blessings!
