Thanksgiving 2016

The San Antonio Millers came up to spend Thanksgiving with us this year and it could not have been more fun. Ritchie and I are cousins on our Moms’ side and their 7-year-old daughter Jessica falls perfectly between our kids’ ages. The arrived Wednesday night so Thursday morning the fun started bright and early. The dads went to the Turkey Bowl, then came home and played soccer with the kids while dinner cooked.

The neighbor kids, Ryan and Riley, joined the game.

Dinner was great. We had sweet potato souffle, green bean casserole, orange rolls, and turkey. We picked only our favorite dishes to cook.

The kids played outside most of the day. Their little feet were so filthy that I wouldn’t let them into the house, so they all climbed up to the utility sink to wash together!

The kids all slept in the same room Thursday night (they tried Wednesday night but due to some obviously hilarious gas-passing, they had to be separated) and were up early Friday morning choreographing a skate show in the garage.

All too soon the Millers packed up and said goodbye.
