Thanksgiving

We celebrated this past Thanksgiving at home in Denver.  It was definitely not the same as being with our family, but we did enjoy our day. 

We have been getting our first spell of really cold weather and I have been putting Savannah in her snow suit every time we leave the house.  Savannah does not like this new routine. 

She is so busy and crawling into everything.  She likes to pull out every single one of the toys from the toy box and then put them all back in again.
At least she is easy to enterain :)

Chance has his own way of entertaining us. 
I told him last week that I like it when it snows. 
He decided to surprise me one evening by making it snow in his bed room. 
This picture does not even begin to describe the amount of baby powder that was scattered all over his bedroom.  I didn't even have the heart to be mad at him though because he was so proud of himself for making me a good surprise. 
I guess I just need to clarify from now on....that I really like snow..... outside!

Chance loves reading to his sister. 

On Thanksgiving morning, we got up early with the kids and took them to Wash Park to play on the playground. 

 
We soaked in the sights and the atmosphere of the Mile High United Turkey Trot and walked around the park lakes. 

In the afternoon, we headed over to Danny and Laura Eakin's house for dinner. 

We made homemade stuffing, a crescent roll stuffed with brie, and neiman marcus brownies for dessert. 
It was fun to cook and share a meal with friends. 
All of the kids played so well together. 

Chance and CJ had a blast outside running and playing with the cars together. 

I loved catching up with my old friend Vega, and playing with her children. 

Dinner was a complete success. 

We reconnected with old friends, made some new friends, and went home with very full bellies!

 

We have so much to be thankful for.
