Thanksgiving 2017



The weekend before Thanksgiving, Brian, Nancy & Maddox drove up from Charlotte to visit! We were finally able to take that cousins picture with all three boys! (You wouldn't believe how many outtakes there were....)


Since our tree died on us last year (which was perfect timing so we didn't have to move it), we were in the market for a new fake tree this year! The "pretend trees" (as we're calling it to Brock) really look so much better - and offer the option to change from white LED lights to colored LED lights, which is a bit of a battle in our home.

The night before Thanksgiving, my co-chef started feeling a little sick. But he was resilient and still managed to fulfill his turkey-frying duty, with the help of Diesel, of course.

We all were excited to enjoy our first Thanksgiving in our new home and in our new dining room. We can all spread out with that big table! (I decided to move my seat next to Brent to make it easier to pass things - Ha!)

Brock was such a big boy - he even ate off our china!

Kade got a step up to the reindeer kids plates - a much bigger, flat plate without sections.

The following day we all drove down to Charlotte to visit Brian and Nancy and family!

Since Brent still wasn't feeling well, he decided to make it a day trip. Brock and Brent returned home to find a very bad Diesel and a mess to clean up. Bad husky. Apparently he's spoiled with Brent working from home - no long days to wait for someone to let him out.

Anyway, Kade scored some bonding time with baby Maddox.

Kade really liked Maddox's play toy. He wanted to help Maddox play the music - he'd take his foot to press the keys. I told him to do it gently once and he seemed to understand why.

Sweet cousins!
