This year for thanksgiving we had a party! It started off small, but kept growing by the minute. We ended up with 14 adults, 2 babies, and 8 kids. I am so grateful that there were such fun friends left in town that were willing to join us. Everyone brought a little bit of their traditional meals with them.
Chris also got the day off- awesome- and even got to play a game of soccer with some of the guys. He may or may not have complained about being sore for the next week. His "soccer muscles" have not been used in years.

And of course Sam, who never wants to be the subject of a picture unless she is looking at it. It is really hard to capture her these days, but she was a champ while we set up and cooked. I am pretty sure she had 3 squeeze applesauces and triple helpings of ice cream and chocolate cake.
I am so grateful for the friends we have who make being away from family a little bit easier on holidays. I am also grateful for my incredible husband who works really long hours so I can stay at home and play with Samantha. He is pretty sure we just kick it in our pjs all day, I assure him its not all tulips and roses, but it is a pretty sweet gig.
