Our Thanksgiving weekend was wonderful. Emma and Henry played with their older cousins, who the really look up to! Rachel, Naomi and Mitchell were great with the little ones and they all had a good time. It was like having babysitters around all weekend which made it very nice for Dan and me!
Of course Thursday night was Thanksgiving dinner at Eileen's house...check out the kids' table with the beautiful bread basket:
Dinner was fantastic as usual. My favorite is always the stuffing - I should really get the recipe!
On Friday morning we all went bowling. I wish I had remembered my camera for this event because it was so cute watching Emma and Henry try to get a bowling ball down the entire length of the lane. Eventually someone took pity on us and in addition to the obligatory rails, we also got a ramp that the kids can rest the ball on and then let it go so it will have enough momentum to make it to the pins. I had never seen this before but it was fabulous! It's great that you really can take the whole family out bowling, even the "babies". Another cool feature (I get excited about stuff like this!) was the fact that the rails could go up and down automatically, depending on whose turn it was to bowl. This way, the adults don't have to have the rails up while the kids can. Anyway, it was a fun activity for all of us!
Saturday brought a lot of errands around town and lunch with all the kids. That night Rachel and Grandma made lasagna for everyone and we celebrated David's birthday.
It was a very fun weekend that I was completely exhausted from when it was over!
Now onto the next holiday...
