On Thanksgiving, we spent the day at home relaxing and cooking and hanging out with the family. The morning was pretty uneventful....getting all the food ready and setting up the table. The kids played and enjoyed themselves outside in the Cali sun. They had a job today though - they had to make the place settings for the dinner table. So, they decorated and wrote everyone's names on them. Nana helped with the cooking. The boys played outside, and Avery entertained everyone.
When Christina, Lex and Justice got here, they had a big announcement for us. They are PREGNANT! Sooo exciting! Justice even had a cute shirt announcing the turkey in the oven! They actually told us by putting a picture of the ultrasound in Vince's birthday card. Took a while for it to sink in! Haha!
After the big announcement, we had a little cornhole tournament in the backyard. Always a fun little game at our house! After cornhole we took it inside to watch some football, eat lots of appetizers and drink! The kids got busy preparing their dinnertime prayer for the group. It was cute, and they put a lot of effort into it. After dinner we moved back to the living room to let our bellys expand and watch more football, and drink more. Wine turned into scotch and that is how we ended the evening. We thought about playing some games, but we were too exhausted! Some of us stayed up late laughing, and gossiping and chit-chatting as we usually do....the others turned in early, as it had been a long day!
