Thanksgiving

We hosted 14 people for Thanksgiving and thanks to some extra bedroom space since our move, we were able to fit everyone comfortably.

The boys loved having their cousins around for a few days.

After rolling out the rolls to rise and prepping the turkey on Thanksgiving morning, we hit the pool. 

The kids gravitated towards the splash pad.

We tied ourselves over with appetizers and a turkey shaped veggie platter.

Our neighbors had a bounce house set up and invited our boys and their cousins to come jump.

The guys were on supervision duty or something like that.

Finally it was time for the big feast.

Troy cooked the turkey with his new found sous vide method and every last dish was delicious. Even after spending several years in California, I am still amazed that we can do so many outdoor activities on Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Eve

Our extended Tanner family started arriving at our house on Thanksgiving Eve and we headed to the Spectrum shopping center for an evening on the town.

First on the agenda was the ferris wheel.

It was funny to look below and see the ice skating rink in our definitely not winter November weather. I'm sure keeping that ground frozen is a challenge.

Next up was a train ride around the shopping center.

Nash had his head in a book as always.

We also took a ride on the carousel.

We added in dinner and ended the night playing games at Dave and Busters. So many fun activities to kick off Thanksgiving weekend.
