Thanksgiving Weekend

We spent Thanksgiving weekend with my parents in Orange County. This was the first year I've been at my parents house for this holiday without my sister and her family and they were definitely missed. It was very quiet in the house and we weren't quite as motivated to play games all night long without Craig around egging us on! :) We still had a wonderful time, just enjoying our time together, relaxing and hanging out. We took Ben to the park, the guys went golfing, Jim and I did a little shopping, we watched a lot of football and had Jordan and Amy over for the CU game. We also went to the Shops at Mission Viejo for the annual picture with Santa (post coming soon!) and to play at the playground for a while. Ben is finally getting big (and brave) enough to tackle all of the activities at the playground - he has never shown must interest in slides, but he was actually walking up and sliding down all by himself this time around.

Thank you to my parent's for another successful Thanksgiving holiday - the food was all delicious and you created another great memory for us. Love you!
