My mother-in-law, Gloria flew up from Texas to spend three weeks with us and my parents, brother Spencer, and sister Lisa and her family came up for Thanksgiving. It was so nice to have family in town!
We got to show Gloria our store and ended up eating there a lot!
The boys loved having their Grandma G at our house to play with and spent lots of time showing her all their toys.
I got to have some fun time with her too as we went and got mani/pedi's!
She helped us decorate our Christmas tree and put up the rest of our Christmas decorations.
My family trickled into town right before Thanksgiving and it was a bit of a mad house with all the cousins running around. My Dad got a workout from playing with all the kids. Grandpa Foster made an excellent pony ride.
Austin crawled into my brother, Spencer's lap and made him show him videos from Spencer's phone.
One Austin's favorite things was to sit with his older cousin Tucker and watch him play games on his tablet.
We ended up holding Thanksgiving dinner over at the store since it already had most everything (drinks, ice cream, the meat, sides, utensils, etc.) and seating for so many. I made some pumpkin pies, Gloria made a delicious apple crisp, and my sister Lisa made awesome sweet potatoes. We hauled everything over there, set up, turned on football on the 70" TV in the banquet room and ate until we were too stuffed to move!
We attempted to get all the kids in a picture while smiling...not too bad. We were only missing Cole.
Ethan loved hanging out with his Grandpa!
It was so fun to host Thanksgiving and due to all the food provided by the store, it was pretty low key! No stress! Definitely my kind of Thanksgiving! I'm grateful we had so many family members able to make it up for the holiday!
Dan flew his Mom back to Texas when she left and got to visit with his siblings and their families as well. It turned out to be such a wonderful Thanksgiving!
