Mini Thanksgiving at Our House

We always try to do something little with my side of the family for Thanksgiving.

 

Even if it means a lot lower key.

So this year, with Ashland Wednesday &Thursday & Amy & Tim having

Thanksgiving dinners Thursday, and Saturday,

we decided to have dinner at our house Friday evening.

(Big brother and his wife aren't able to come in at all this holiday season,

so we are missing them!)

 

Amy brought a yummy yummy cheese ball,

we had salad, chicken lasagna, and traditional Thanksgiving pies made by Mom!

It was very laid back, was perfect.

 

I think everyone was a little worn out from Thanksgiving festivities just the day before,

we all lounged around, watched a couple of Christmas movies, boys watched football,

and ate and ate and ate.

 

Rhett's talking to baby in the picture below,

he is constantly saying,

"Hi Baby!"

"I want baby to come out!"

"What are you doin' baby?"

 

If you ask him what baby is doing, he says all kinds of things, like,

"He's changing. He lookin' at me! He's closin' him eyes."

...and yes he always uses "he" when referring to baby,

although if you ask him if it's a boy or a girl, he answers differently every time.

Case, on the other hand is 100% convinced it's a boy,

as "girls are yucky!!! I don't like girls!"

 

However, Case said he likes THREE girls and preschool the other day!

One of which is his "favorite" and tells us they are all "cute and pretty!"

OH MY!!! Hee!!!

"Sooo Case, what do you like about her??"

"Cuz she's CUTE and I LOVE HER!"

Oh. my. word.

These boys are going to keep me on my toes!

 

 

Cy brought his cute and pretty girlfriend over! Hee!

...and I do believe Case and Rhett were both very flirtatious with her at some point through the evening, stinkers! ;)

 



Griffin bug!

 



 

Our low key evening was just what I needed,

it was fun, and the kids had us cracking up!

 

Our boys were exhausted, we have had a busy week,

their red cheeks and ears gave them away.

Our poor Case who has had too much busy, and not enough naps (as in zero)

had about 57 melt downs, so it was off to bed as soon as everyone said "Good-bye"

 

Very thankful for spending time with lots of family this Thanksgiving week.

 

Our house is already decorated on the inside,

so we are looking forward to getting outside lights up,

and so excited for lots of Christmas traditions coming up in December!

 

I also need to get on my Christmas shopping!

...and here's one of our first belly shots. :)

 

13 weeks and 5 days here... just a couple of days away from that glorious 2nd trimester!

 

So blessed.
