Three days of Thanksgiving

We had some quality family time this Thanksgiving that extended on through the entire weekend. We ate a heaping helping of turkey and fixins on Thanksgiving day starting at Nanny and Papa's house with Kylie, Michael, Katie, Luke, Carmen and Grandma Ida. The littlest ladies were fun to dress in matching outfits again this year and we are definitely still taking advantage of these young years of willingness to twinkie up.....

The weather was perfect for some time in the backyard chasing the girls around trying to get some decent pictures....

Enid was our next stop that day where we visited Lisa and David's house and saw Meme Donna, Lana, Danny, Dara and some of Lisa's family. The weather was still mild and sunny so naturally Hal had to check out her treehouse....

Back inside she tried her very best to scare people by popping out from behind chairs....

She showed off some of her gymnastics skills....

And just owned the place....

Laughed with Meme....

Skyped with Garrett...

Cousin time is necessary....

We moved our crew over to Gman's house where he and Meg had a bonified feast prepared and a beautiful table set up for dinner that evening. Aunt B, Uncle Spencer, David, Alta and Kara rounded out the group. The meal was absolutely amazing....and Meg made every single bit of it...

After dinner Hallie played with her toy box that she hunted down in Gman's closet while the adults played a hilarious and very loud game of Catchphrase.....

Riley headed home that night but us girls spent the night. The next morning we chowed down on cinnamon rolls that Alta had brought but Hal had something else in mind. Momma ran down the street to fulfill her pink donut and pink milk request. She slept so good that I probably would've traveled across the country for her. The bed-headed gal snoozed until 10:00! Unheard of.

We played with Gman's puppies a bit...

Then we sorted through some of Grammy's things in the shed and helped G fill the bird house....

We stopped by Lisa and David's to play around....

Trying out Dara's boots

Our family time continued over at Lana's house where Hallie chased around her gang of fur babies....

Learning all of their names

She just loves doggies and they all got Hallie hugs....

Hal and Meme ate ice cream cones on the way over to Gman's house and we spent some time just eating, playing and catching up over there. We reluctantly headed home around 7:00 even though I'd thoroughly enjoyed lounging and eating leftovers all day and didn't want the lounging and eating to end. However it did help knowing that the very next day we'd get to do Thanksgiving all over again with another giant feast. Justin and TeNeil hosted the Spaeth fam at their house where Hallie Grace dined on candy turkeys alone. Ten of them in fact....

Jasper was on the go but stopped for a moment to chat with Gman.....

I spy a little girl eyeing another candy turkey instead of eating her plate of food....

Peyton and Hal hit it off like they did last Christmas and were soon playing hide and seek outside and writing "notes" in Eve's bedroom with Jasper photobombing in the background....

We had a great afternoon inside while the kiddos played outside in the beautiful weather. This little elf was on a sugar high that evening which seemed to outweigh the exhaustion she must've felt from all of the playing....

With Thanksgiving in the books it was time to set my sights on Christmas and all of the joy and excitement it was about to bring. It was also time to buy maternity pants to fit my growing belly which consisted of baby AND lots and lots of food.
