Happy Thanksgiving... Canadian!

Well, our first Canadian Thanksgiving! It was so fun! Of course I wanted to have it at my house. I've been waiting 10 years to have Thanksgiving with my family! So instead of having just a roasted chicken that I normally make for Canadian thanksgiving, we made Turkey! Mom and Martin came over and Crystal and Jonathan too. We had soooo much yummy food. It was wonderful!

Here are the girls, sitting at their table. Such happy faces... this was the calm before the storm! We love our girls and they love each other. But sometimes things can get a little crazy! Normally they fight over who gets the "pink plates" and who gets the "purple plates". To avoid that, I had Crystal bring her set over so then everyone could be happy... but not all things go as planned. Apparently someone looked at someone wrong and the water works began! But it's fun. They eventually calmed down and enjoyed the dinner!

Here are the boys, after dinner, watching a little football. The poor boys get overrun by all us girls! They gotta stick together!

Before dinner, Chad, Riley, Jonathan and my dad all went to hit a bucket of balls. Dad couldn't be with us this year for dinner, but was able to spend some time with the boys before he had to leave. (We sent a huge platter of food with him though, so he was happy!)





For years, whenever my mom would come and visit me, we would say the night before she came, "So, would you like to come to dinner tomorrow?" and visa versa. Chad would always laugh at us and think we were weird, but it was a thing that we missed so much. Sooo, my mom finally said to me, "Do you want to come to dinner?" And we did!!! It was so fun! And of course so delicious!

Just had to take this picture. Emily and Shelby always play so good together. (Well, almost always!) But they were just playing in my back yard, sitting like princesses and having so much fun. It was cute!

Gotta love my Hailey Bailey! She is standing all over the place, and is always so happy. We love her!!

I sent Riley to a party for his friend, and he came back a Werewolf!!! Holy cow it was so cool!! Hailey was scared of him and wouldn't go near him! It was awesome!
