Friends Thanksgiving


Last Saturday we had our 4th Annual Denver Friends Thanksgiving.  This year was hosted by Bret and Lauren because they got a new townhouse in the Highlands and we needed to break it in with a proper gathering.
I look forward to this day every year and I love that everyone pitches in and splits up the chore of preparing a Thanksgiving feast. 


We started the day in the early afternoon for cocktails and a bean bag tournament. 

Chance loved all of the attention!

Katie, Lauren, and I had some quality girl talk in the kitchen as we put the finishing touches on our prepared dishes. 

Chance helped Nick and Tom prepare the salads and he got his first taste of "fancy" cheese. 

Which he loved!

Everyone was in the kitchen at some point.

We had to watch the K-State pregrame before we could enjoy the fruits of our labor. 

The meal was fabulous! Everyone did an amazing job on food!

Chance and Callie loved when everyone sat down to eat because it freed up the couch for jumping.

Sadly, the good times did not last thru the night....

Our beloved K-State kittes lost to the Baylor Bears losing our #1 ranking and our dreams of playing for the national title (insert trail of small tears)......

At least we have Chance and Callie to love on and cheer us up!

Thank goodness for cuddly babies and good friends.

Looking forward to celebrating Thanksgiving with our families in Lansing next week.  Bring on the holidays!

Bubbles

Blowing bubbles is definitely on my little man's list of favorite things to do. 
I've spent countless hours watching, teaching, and laughing with Chance as he explores the world of blowing bubbles. 
Because I enjoy watching Chance with bubbles so much...I thought I would share a few images with you so that I can remember these times forever. 
I hope you like bubble time as much as Chance and I do!

Platt Park

We've been spending a lot of time at the park lately.  Chance is just now getting to the age that he really wants and needs a lot of space to run and play outside. 


It's kind of become a weekend ritual to take Chance to our neighborhood park for a few hours right after breakfast. 

Can you tell his new favorite is the merry go round?

Max and I love chasing Chance up the slide and around the playground. 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Hopefully winter will hold off just a while longer so that we can keep our weekends in the park.
