Thanksgiving 2014

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving this year. I can't express enough how grateful I am for the blessings that we have, especially for the family that we have. 

We started our Thanksgiving in Morgan. We celebrated on Saturday so that everyone could spend a good amount of quality time together. We made and ate delicious food and the boys even were able to squeeze in a couple of games of foozball. Unfortunately, Lydia was feeling a little under the weather so she spent most of the time in the corner laying on her blanket. 

It was Mom's birthday the following day, so we had a little celebration for her. I hope that she knows just how much she is loved, because it's a lot. 

After we had finished digesting, someone suggested playing Mario Cart - which then evolved into having a massive bracket competition involving all of the Wii games. We started with racing, moved on to Dance-Dance, then hit up Wii Sport Bowling. It was SO fun, and even though we only made it through a few games, it was a blast. David and I miraculously ended up winning, mostly because I love Dance-Dance and David is an incredible Wii Bowler. We took last place in racing.  

It was fabulous, and we are already excited to continue the competition at Christmas. 

The following day we did a little Christmas decorating and (after Lydia started feeling a bit better), Lydia and Camille had loads of fun playing together.  #cousinsmakethebestfriends #matchingshirts #dontletthegrumpyfacefoolyou

Thanksgiving was continued a few days later at the Peaden Home where we ate more delicious food and spend time with more wonderful family, although we weren't as good at taking pictures. We were especially glad to be able to spend some time with these guys who flew in from Indiana just in time for Thanksgiving Dinner. 

We also met our newest little niece Jaycee. She and Austin are only 5 weeks apart. I'm so happy to have a little cousin so close in age. I just know that these guys are going to be great friends.

All the cousins, minus Zachary who couldn't make it. 

It was a wonderful holiday for our little family. We feel so blessed to be surrounded with so many people we love and to have so much bounty in our life. Happy Thanksgiving!
