Thanksgiving

We were fortunate enough to be able to fly to Washington for Thanksgiving. Sadie and I left on the 23rd and Matt came the day before Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera and so I didn’t take any pictures until Matt brought it up. So we will start with Thanksgivng.

It started like any other day. Sadie yelled for the dog, “dog-dog.” Then she tortured him by following him around and trying to hug him. Good thing Tag is such a tolerant dog.

The boys started out with some foosball. Sadie decided she wanted to join in. She loved throwing the little ball in for them to play with and randomly move the knobs.

They decided they wanted a more real game so they moved her back.

Love those little faces.

These are actually from the night before but we will put them in here anyway. Sadie enjoyed helping Andrea make the apple pie.

She loves to try and wink back at you but all she really does is squint both eyes.

We ate around 3 or 4 and Andrea and Aaron were good enough sports to entertain the kids so we could eat in the dining room. Then Andrea entertained all of the kids for several hours while the boys were playing video games. They made Whip Cream for the pies. The kids loved it!

Andrea was even nice and let them taste test it as they made it.

Then she let them lick the utensils at the end. Sadie was thrilled. She loved having the boys and Lexi around.

Tyson and Jackson are so stinking cute!

Andrea and Grandma entertained them by helping them draw Thanksgiving pictures for a bit too.

Tyson gave us a concert while we waited for the program.

Then we played tunnel for a long time. Sadie loved it! Tyson—not so much. He wouldn’t go under the blankets with everyone. He did enjoy jumping over the couch with everyone though.

We had a short program and finished the night off with the kids throwing things and making a mess. It was fabulous. We didn’t get Sadie to bed until late but she had a blast! (Matt had a full-blown cold though so he went to bed at eight. Poor guy).

It was a fun day. Good food and good company! Thanks Hoffmans for having us up!
