The Thanksgiving feast was exceptionally delicious. It was also very fun to spend the day cooking with my sisters in law. Here are some pics of "the Feast."
In the evening we skyped with Jefferson and his family over in Africa and Bart, Wendy and Katie in Colorado. How wonderful to see everyone even if we can't all be in one place at the same time!
The kids had fun playing games, especially Twister.
The next day I went Black Friday shopping with Taralie and Sandee, her friend. The stores were so much less crazy since many of the stores started promotions the night before. I think we got some deals.
In the afternoon we went to Chaney's dairy farm. We all got primo ice cream cones and had some fun. The weather was warm and sunny most of the weekend.
In the evening we played a dance game on the Wii that was so fun to watch and participate in. It was a hit with all the kids and even some of the adults! My kids were in heaven the whole weekend just being with their cousins. This weekend was a nice break from the busyness of everyday life.
Saturday we enjoyed games, pie (we had 10 kinds of pies and plenty to last all weekend), and a trip to the park. (The guys and older boys played football throughout the weekend.)
Mike and Taralie made us feel so comfortable and welcome. It was truly a delight to be with them and the Sanchez family. Thanks everyone for a wonderful time!
Sunday we headed back to Illinois. We took a little detour up to Kristen's mom's house so that the kids could ride her horses. The weather turned cold and rainy on us but we still enjoyed the rides.
Sterling was more than happy to wrap his arms around sweet Courtney.
Thank you to our horse whisperer! You are the best!
We enjoyed a late afternoon lunch and enjoyed spending the afternoon with Kristen's mom who was very generous to let us descend upon her. :)
We arrived home before too late. My husband is the best! I appreciate his help with everything this weekend and especially his patience with me.
In summation, I am thankful for my abundant life. My family and friends are treasures to me.
