This was our first time hosting Thanksgiving at our house. We have had numerous baby blessings and baptism luncheons at our house...I figured it would be similar. Guess what...it was :)
Here are a few pictures of the festivities.
My mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Father-in-law
Brother-in-law and nephew
Austin...messing around. He did a lot of that :)
The dishes half way through clean up...thought you'd enjoy this picture, haha
There was a lot of "playing on Grandpas Kindle fire"
We had an old fashioned sing along around the piano...all Christmas songs.
We also added a new tradition this year...
we had a paper airplane flying contest. Everyone received a piece of paper and wrote what they were thankful for and then we flew them. The wind was kind of blowing...but it was way fun. And I think we should do it again every year. The winner got a pack of gum :)

Check out Austins great leap...in the background. Man he can jump, who knew.
My mom and Grandpa Mike, my father-in-law and half of my mother-in-law.
After the airplanes we played on the tree rope swing...
Austin was king of the swing.
Shawn even did it.
And then he dared me to do it...my foot got stuck in the rope.
Then I actually caught some air...and a slight rope burn.
It was a wonderful Thanksgiving...and I vote I don't have to host for at least 8 more years :)
