we just got back from a trip to boise to celebrate thanksgiving with randy's family. i took very few pictures, and the ones i do have aren't great. oh well. the one above is lainey and madeleine eating thanksgiving dinner. as i predicted, my girls took a few bites and then ran off to go play. something about lots of people, cousins, and grammy's toys around made it hard to focus on food.
the whole group. there were twenty-one people and it was great to see so much of randy's family.
even though i didn't get lots of pictures, i did get pictures of the centerpieces that randy's mom made.
and the place cards that i made. they're little mayflower boats. get it?
before we left, the girls got to open christmas presents from bob and jeanie, since we won't be with them on christmas. it meant that they were well entertained in the car. diane wasn't sure about what was going on at first, but saw madeleine tearing into hers and caught on pretty quickly. good practice for christmas day.
we had such a great time and loved being with family for the holiday. thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays - family, food, and a chance to reflect on the things that we are grateful for.
