Thanksgiving


This year we headed to Steamboat for Thanksgiving with the Will family.
Trish and Doug rented a beautiful house for us to stay in, and we had a great time!

We witnessed beautiful sunsets every night.

We played several games, UNO was one of the favorites.

Ashlee woke up on Thanksgiving throwing up. So she spent the day quarantined in the girls room watching movies and resting. The quarantining worked because no one else got sick! Poor girl, though. Thanksgiving is the worst day to be sick.

We had beautiful views form our house. And Steamboat had a bunch of snow before we got there, so everything was nicely covered.

Chris and my mom have an ongoing war with a can of cranberry sauce. They have passed it back and forth to one another since 2007! This year my mom got Chris good by giving it to him at Thanksgiving. Chris' mom helped out with it and he had no clue it was coming. It was great.

We made Thanksgiving turkeys!
And thankful trees.

We all worked on a music video to "I Want a Hippopatomus for Christmas" and watched it the morning after Thanksgiving. Chris directed and edited it, and it turned out super corny, but cute. 

Friday we walked around downtown a bit and stopped for some hot chocolate in a chic coffee shop.

Later that day (and after sledding which has its own post) the kids and Grandma watched The Polar Express.

That night the kids had a rocking dance party.

And then they got new pajamas from Grandma and Grandpa!

Saturday we made cake pops.

And had a fun time playing in the deep snow.
Really Caitlin was the only builder of the snowman.
Chris and Nate came out and we had a snowball fight!

Then back inside for hot chocolate and a craft.
And more beautiful sunsets.

It was a great Thanksgiving spent with a wonderful family!
