Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

We had a beautiful Thanksgiving with family and that's what it is all about. I enjoyed my morning at my parents house watching the parade and making breakfast with the family. W spent the day lounging around and preparing for dinner. Drew was working on Thanksgiving Day so we ate our meal when he got home. It was a non traditional meal that was much healthier than the usual. Organic baked chicken, brussel sprouts with shallots, twice baked stuffed sweet potatoes and homemade dresssing with mushrooms, celery, chestnuts, onions, etc. It was a great dinner!

We left the day after Thanksgiving for the lake house to meet up with Drew's parents, sisters and grandparents. It was the first time the grandparents got to meet Beckett.  It was the third time Lois had seen John Brady and the second time Bill got to see John Brady. When we arrived they had a fire roaring and the table decorated beautifully and the turkey was in the oven.

We enjoyed our weekend very much! I loved sitting by the fire with wine watching the grandparents and great grandparents play with the boys. It is nice to have that many hands to help out with the kids. It is like a mini vacation because John Brady wanted to play with all of them the whole time. He gathered sticks for the fire with his dad, played football with Hannah and Mark, colored and read with Stacy, etc. While we were there we also took John Brady to a farm with many animals, trains, Christmas trees, etc. 

Thanksgiving was a great time as always and I hope for many more beautiful memories with all of my family.
