We had a good Thanksgiving and hope that you had one too.
Earlier in the week, we visited a jumping playhouse called Dizzy Castle filled with slides and climbing toys. The kids love it and we went with cousin Jace (2 years old) who flew in from Colorado with his mom, Emily's sister, Jen.
To get up to a slide, you have to climb a set of stairs...
And then sliiiiide your way down!
Eliana likes this place, as you might be able to tell...
Karina enjoys it too...
Jace went down the slide with Uncle Charles. At first, he was a little hesitant about this place, but later on he warmed up to the idea.
On Thursday, we all gathered at Emily's parent's house, which is a short drive away. Almost all of Emily's siblings and their families were there as well, along with some extended family. So in total, there were 29 people there!
We had turkey, a huge roast, green beans and other fixings. Even though they nibbled on appetizers the whole afternoon, the kids were hungry by the time that dinner rolled around.
Then it was finally time to dive in! Emily's parents have a HUGE dining table that can be expanded to seat almost 20 people. And then there was another table full of people in another room as well.
The girls sat next to cousin Abby, who dutifully helped out when needed.
Gabey sat next to Mommy. His favorite food for that night was flaky biscuits followed by the green beans. The boy loves his green beans and will choose it over steak or other things.
After dinner, the little boy cousins spent time with cousin Millie. Gabe and his cousin Jace are about 6 weeks apart in age. They are two very active boys and this is the only picture showing them together, even though they spent about 5 days playing with each other!
Then came time for dessert!
Eliana got ice cream, cookies and pumpkin pie. Karina doesn't like all those sweets and settled only for the vanilla ice cream.
Towards the end of the evening, most had left and it came time to put on jammies.
Jace was going to bed, and so Karina got a good night hug from him. You can see Gabriel in the background giving Eliana a hug.
Happy Thanksgiving!
