We counted down for weeks, waiting for my parents, and my sister and her family to come for Thanksgiving. It was all very exciting for everyone, and when they finally arrived, my kids couldn't contain themselves (and neither could I). I just love that my sister is now close enough that we can see them for holidays--it's the first time since we've been married that that's been the case. All of the rest of our family live far away, and we don't get to see them nearly enough.
It was four days of FOOD, family, movies, bowling, shopping, Christmas trees, new matching pajamas, games and pizza--and considering there were six kids aged five and under, it went really smoothly.
It's now a tradition to open new, matching Christmas pajamas from my parents on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, and my kids look forward to that almost as much as anything else. My little boys were thrilled, especially Henry. He couldn't stop jumping up and shouting "Yay!"!!!
It went by way too fast, and we are already counting down until they can come again! Luckily my parents are still here for another week, so we get to enjoy having family around for a little bit longer.
A perfect Thanksgiving!
