Thanksgiving festivities!

So we hosted the large family Thanksgiving at our house this year and it was FANTASTIC! Thanks to everyone for all the help and fun to make the first Thanksgiving in our home so great! I think the final count was 25 when we included kids and babies?? Anyway food and fam and fun! Glad we have that unfinished basement so we could at least all sit down for the dinner!



In the spirit of the Griswald family vacation Mark wanted to have a grand premier on Thanksgiving night of our Christmas lights. So, we made everyone stand out in the cold doing the drumroll... AND as in the movie the lights did not totally cooperate... the rain earlier that morning attacked some of the lights and extension cords so we only got to see a partial show.

The whole display is working now if anyone wants to come back???

Congrats on having a girl-You are going to have so much fun!

How fun is that to actually host Thanksgiving-it will be a while before we get to do that!

You look great! Such a tiny little bump! I think you are going to have a tall baby too-she already looks tall in the ultrasound!
