Thanksgiving Sunday 2016 AM

Mom and I woke up early on Sunday morning while everyone else was still sleeping and went for a walk to Tim Hortons ..... I just love this picture of my mom....we were laughing at this super happy dog who was leaning out the drivers side window for his Timbit!!!  He got TWO!! Lucky dog!!  We had a nice walk .... I loved my time with her on this morning ....
 When we got home, we found these 2 playing .....
 We found this girl chilling out in the bath ... she was there for ages!! It was funny ... the water had some pretty undistinguishable things floating in it at the end of her bath ....
 While Brad made an amazing breakfast, the boys all designed various rocket ships and needed judges ... nobody picked a winner ... "they were ALL good"...said the grandparents ... lol
 Walk with Daisy and Dad later ... turns out I throw off Daisy's 'poo-timing'...she made him walk alooooot further and not in her regular spot .... I can't remember if she even went at all ... she is used to having her man all to herself! lol
 Later that morning we went to the cabin and dad showed us the inside of the trailer they will be taking down ... Daisy looks like she is holding on for dear life ... the trailer is disgusting ... we could barely be in there for a few minutes, Daisy was like "do NOT put me down!!!"
 While we got the bonfire going, these 3 did a little Dirt Fishing .....





 I love how mom and Ellie have the same kind of smile on .... everyone was pretty happy to be chilling out around the fire ....
 I just loved this picture ... so cute ...

Thanksgiving Sunday 2016 PM

Turkey was in the oven!!  Mom worked hard on all the trimmings!!!  Even chocolate pie!!  Here is dad carving up the Turkey!  It was pretty great having the common room and the kitchen for us all to hang out in!!
 Even a nice FIRE!!!
 I think we were all too busy enjoying our meal to take any picture of us eating it, but we got some steller after dinner pics of everyone!! 


 

 Had to include the bunny ears ....

Saturday Thanksgiving ...

We had a really nice, spontaneous and lazy morning with Jeff and Gina once we woke up.  Chris apparently didn't sleep in their trailer because he was too cold (we don't really spoon much anymore for some reason - it used to be the most favorite part of my marriage, but now...we just stay on our own sides? But he woulda been warmer had he been spooning me!! ;-)  Anyways ... Chris and Jeff went out to a boy store while Gina and I had coffee and chatted in the kitchen.  I wish she lived closer...she is one of my favorite people to talk to .... 
 We arrived before dinner and in time to just chill out for a little while after such a crazy drive .... Chris hadn't slept and he hadn't eaten well either, so by 2, he was fighting a migraine and was just so grumpy, so he slept for a little while, while I drove.  I pushed a bunch of fruit and water into him and he felt better when he woke up ....
Here is mom prepping dinner that we were all going to have downstairs in their common room!  They booked it for the whole weekend!  It was great...
While waiting for dinner, the kids worked out! Everyone had a station!!
Dad abides by all the common room rules "No kids under 16 unsupervised"
Chris was put on mushroom duty!!  Mom and Dad made amazing steaks, and nothing goes better with steaks than fresh chanterelle mushrooms!!
 
Flashback to the last time mom put Chris in charge of mushrooms for Thanksgiving Dinner in their old house!! 
 
Games by the fire while we waited for dinner ....
Ellie was left to finish her meal ... she was happy .... so cute.
We just chilled out and finished up dinner ... it was a good night.  Nice start to our Thanksgiving 2016 weekend!
