This year we had a wonderful invite to have Thanksgiving in San Diego with Chris' Dad and his family. We desperately wanted to go but every time we look outside and see our yard incomplete we know we need to spend it on grass instead so hopefully next year. We did however have dinner with my family at my moms new home. This is the adult dining room, my mom went all out with her table setting.
This is the kids table and she made little turkey cups that held crayons for the kids to color on the paper tablecloth which they loved. Cade didn't appreciate being sent to the kids table so he downed his food as fast as possible to come hang with us. Some day I know that we will miss him wanting to hang out with us.
Chris then participated in this activity
My sister in law decided we should have a pie contest which ended up being so much fun! They really were all so good. I made a strawberry cream one and a homemade from scratch banana chocolate cream pie. The banana cream won! Honestly I couldn't believe it, I like the strawberry one the best but I was pretty pleased.
Grandpa can't ever resist smearing someone with whipped cream
We blew up balloons and let them shoot all around the room....the kids loved that! And then we had all had it with that Becca came out with her "game" which is the biggest looser challenge for all of us to do. We all put money in a pot and at the end the one who has the most points and the one who has lost the most weight splits the cash. I think a little crazy for December but if it gets me off Diet Coke then I'm all about it. I have been running around like a loon with a caffeine headache.
Then to end off the evening we watched our old home movies on the projector. I love to watch them and boy I was sure an obnoxious singing dancing girl.
