Today was our Thanksgiving day!
The family arrived at noon and the feast was on!
The Adult Table
The Kid Table
The Guests
Dinner is Served!!
And just like that dinner is done!
Hours to prepare,
Minutes to demolish!
So we played outside and inside and all over for hours.
The boys had an intense football game in the backyard
resulting in muddy grass stained clothes
and a few bumps and bruises.
(or as Ryan dramatically calls them his "internal bleeding injuries" when he got scraped!)
The girls were smarter and chose to lounge around
chatting and enjoying the beautiful weather.
Eventually people trickled back inside for dessert
and then seconds on dinner.
As luck would have it I came down with a nasty tummy bug that day and was so sick!
But when you're hosting there's no time for laying in bed.
So I put on my smile all day and gritted through it!
Somehow I didn't get pics of the football action.
So I'll post those when I gather them from the family.
About 6pm everyone headed back home.
Taylee was begging to do some of the games I had planned that we didn't get around to.
It was now too dark and cold outside.
So instead of "Turkey Tag" I improvised and we played "Turkey Turkey Find the Turkey" instead!
I had decorated clothespins to look like turkeys.
So instead of hooking them to our clothing
and running around gathering as many as you could off others,
we hid them throughout the house and found them instead.
Let's just say it got pretty intense.
And we even had to do a few adult rounds! ha
Laiky Lou playing on the stairs as always
Kyrrigan took a break to gnaw on a hunk of turkey! lol
Now the big boy round!
I don't even want to know what they're doing! lol
Finally we dumped all the kids into bed!
Then the adults sat down to relax.
5 minutes later I guess Ryan and I looked like this! lol
Another super fun and successful Thanksgiving is in the books!
