Thanksgiving

I hosted Thanksgiving this year and this was the first time in three years that my side of the family has all been together. My brother has been over in England for the past three years and they are finally back in the states. It was a fun filled couple of days. There was six children, three of them being two so you can imagine the activity level in the house. Anyway, dinner was great with only a couple little bumps along the way. We also started a new tradition this year with a family football game. Noah and Owen were so excited and were our team captains and somehow it was a tie game.
You gotta love the adults facial expressions in the pictures. We were all overly dramatic for the kids. A very crowded house while getting ready to sit down and eat after a hard football game. The reset of the week was spend hanging out together and on our last night together we went to Atlantic Station for dinner, the "snow fall" and the train ride. It was a great way to end our time together.As you can tell by the picture of the three of them that Connor was over it all, but today was the first day of not having anyone in my house and I would say that Connor missed having playmates around all the time. It was a great week filled with lots of fun family time.
