We had a fantastic Thanksgiving weekend, hope you did too! Sam has been doing some veterinarian surgery lately on his favorite black puppy. Here he "delicately" uses a drill to fix his paw...
No surprise, Fat Baby LOVES all food. Here he tries out some beets from Aunt Philie, yum!
We had two afternoon Thanksgiving celebrations this year, so that meant a calm, relaxed morning on Thursday. It was nice to spend time as a family in PJs, not rushing to get ready or anything. It was lovely!
We got everyone cleaned up after lunchtime and prepared to head out...
First stop was in Chicago Ridge with Mike's family, where our kids relished their cousin time!
I'm pretty sure this guy got held for the entire afternoon. Not bad! After this, we went to my folks for an evening meal with the Hewes crew, it was a great day!
Then on Friday, my mom, Kjersten, Isaac and I went out for our annual trip out to Little Traveler in Geneva. It's not the crazed black Friday shopping. It's nice and calm and we have lunch with some ladies from the Benhart side. Super fun! My back was a bit tired afterwards.
Meanwhile, the big boys had a GREAT day with daddy. They went bowling in the morning, Tilted Kilt for lunch, and to Hawthorne Racetrack in the afternoon. My cousin Deewee works there and showed them where he keeps the giant lightbulbs...
They all came home tired out, but happy!
On Saturday, we headed over to the Worsts for some fondue. We haven't gotten the kids all together since August, so it was great to see them and play and EAT!
Sam and Calvin perfect their plate licking form...
After fondue, we couldn't resist going out in the 50 degree "heatwave." I hadn't brought Ike's warm gear, so he had to borrow Hattie's. At least he had his own hat!
Our long weekend of fun continued with ridiculous attempts at baby carrying...
It's a little tough when you only out weigh your infant brother by 5 pounds...
We did our tree, this year Sam got the honor of topping the tree...
Noah checks out an ornament from Mike's childhood.
Sam finds his "Baby's First Christmas" one.
One of Noah's faves, with a pic of Fred and him circa 2009.
So, there you have it. Our holiday season is officially off to a good start!
