Thanksgiving 2012

We had a great Thanksgiving week this year. The last 2 Thanksgivings in our family were very busy. 2 years ago we had a 5 day old and last year we were in the process of moving homes. So it was very nice to have a relaxing week to spend with family.

On Monday I had Abbey and Zoey over for a sleepover and they babysat Hads while I went to dinner with some girlfriends. They are the best!

The next morning we went to our favorite Chick-fil-a for lunch and playing...

Wednesday we went to the Gilmore's for Thanksgiving dinner. It was delicious as usual and the girls had so much fun playing at their Aunt Debbie and GG's house. She takes good care of her great-nieces!

The girls took a quick break to eat their dinner

 We worked very hard for this picture!

While we ate dinner, Aunt Debbie gave the girls a surprise- a princess castle! The girls sat in the castle and watched a movie while we ate. It was precious! 

We woke up on Thanksgiving day and headed over to the Johnsons. We watched the parade and played while Mimi cooked a wonderful Thanksgiving lunch. We did a special cheers and song for Nick since it was his birthday and sent it to him in North Carolina. We had a great day watching football, laughing and reading about all the Black Friday deals.

Late afternoon, Derek, Hadley and I loaded the car and headed towards the ranch. It's a four hour drive and Hadley slept for about half of it. She woke up in a great mood and watched Tangled on the iPad. She was cranky and we still had about 30 minutes, but it wasn't anything a lollipop couldn't fix!

We had a great week at the ranch with my parents, the Pfeiffers, my Uncle Roger and cousins. My mom outdid herself and cooked another Thanksgiving dinner for all of us. Its one of my favorite meals of the year and I'm lucky that I get to eat it three times!!

The girls had a blast playing in the front yard...

There were lots of family "football" games in yard. The girls were very helpful!

My dad was so fun and made a hayride for everyone. We took a long drive looking for animals and it was a blast!

"Western Night"

We went up to Sunspot to watch the sunset...

It is an annual tradition...
