Thanksgiving 2010

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving! Silas' sister Sherrie and her family came to visit from Texas and we had so much fun eating, playing, shopping and hanging out together.
The boys were spoiled rotten by their Aunt, Uncle and cousins, which they just loved:)
Sherrie and I got some serious Black Friday shopping done thanks to the men holding down the fort, and it was great to get some girl time in!
The adults managed to sneak away one night to a movie (a very rare treat for us indeed!) while the cousins babysat, and we ate til our hearts content the whole week. Silas and I loved cooking as usual and we had plenty of left overs to last the rest of the visit. I even managed to get a 6 mile run in Saturday morning thanks to my sweet niece Ellen who went with me! The boys were so sad when the family left, but luckily we will be seeing everyone again in just a few weeks for Christmas at the Lodge again this year!!

We had a few hours between the family leaving and some friends from college coming into town to visit. I got the sheets washed and the house picked up a little bit before they came, thank goodness!! We had fun catching up and it was so neat to watch our 5 children play together and be friends. We enjoyed dinner out together and a relaxing time at home hanging out. We finally said good-bye to all the company after lunch on Monday. Our house has been so quiet! We definitely miss everyone and look forward to our next visits:)
