Thanksgiving Weekend

Our Thanksgiving weekend was a busy one. First off, we hosted our first Thanksgiving dinner. Wow. People always say it's a lot of work, but I never believed it until now. Boy, there is a lot of prep work that goes in, but it was also fun to take a turn. We had a nice-sized group, including: my parents, my grandma, my great aunt and dad's cousin Eric (Mason loves cousin Eric and visiting him on the Oregon Coast). Thankfully, the turkey turned out, as did the other dishes - thanks to my mom's help.

Friday after Thanksgiving, we decided to take in the opening night of Snowflake Lane in Bellevue. It was amazing with all of the new floats, and the kids just loved it. They were completely mesmerized by all of the surroundings.

Saturday, Andrew and I decided to take in a tailgate for Apple Cup, which took place at the Clink, while the kiddos were watched by our neighbor Dallas who babysits them occasionally.
