This was our year to spend Thanksgiving with the Adams family at Little America!  We finally got on board and joined a few of them in spending the night at the hotel before dinner the next day.  Our kids think hotels are the greatest!  They loved our view from the 12th floor,  

Swimming in the indoor/outdoor pool, (Meg has been into pulling crazy faces for pictures lately!)  

Hanging out in the hot tub with grandma, 

And snuggling up and watching Despicable Me until 11pm!  (Nate beat them to sleep!) 

The next morning we watched the parade in our room with hot chocolate, and joined the rest of the family downstairs for the Thanksgiving feast!  Somehow the moms, kids, and grandma ended up at this table:    

(Meg and Brayden were so cute to watch – they were making each other laugh and talking about stuff just like little adults 🙂

The older boys and dads feasted at the other table:  

And when we were too full to eat anymore, we headed to bowl – where Amber and I beat all 3 of the brothers!  (Amber beat me, but it was my best game in years!)

We hung out at the Adams' house that afternoon while the boys played a "turkey bowl" in the freezing wind, 

And the girls and younger boys colored and crafted inside.  

We ended the day stopping by to wish my mom a happy birthday (no pictures of her!!) and my dad showed us how to shoot the moon on the old game from my grandma's.  

It was a great day and we have so much to be grateful for – especially family, both immediate and extended.  Happy Thanksgiving!
