Thanksgiving 2014

Well, it isn't Christmas yet {& we don't even have snow on the ground!}, so that makes this post acceptable, right?!


The weekend before Thanksgiving, we had a couple of friends that Adam works with down to stay at the lakehouse.  Adam fried a turkey {so good!}, we had wine, pretty {store bought!} cookies, and of course tons of other goodies!  With so many people {including 5 kids} is was a little crazy in our small house, but it was so much fun.  I'm pretty sure the highlight was playing games the night before.  I know I've said this before, but Heads Up is seriously the best game! {cheap, portable, & tons of fun no matter how diverse your crowd is}







Runaway, topless children during every meal.  Such is {our} life right now
Drinks for all



New lake sign from 417DesignsIA :: ignore the missing trim on my windows! Perhaps this winter? ::sigh::

The weekend of Thanksgiving, we had my nieces watch the kids and we went to a party with our lake friends.  It was fun catching up with people we hadn't seen much this summer {due to traveling}, but I wasn't feeling 100% {I thought I was just tired, but we learned later I had strep}. 

The next morning we went to my sister in law's house to have dinner and hang out with the family.  It's always a fun day.  Good food, fun games, relaxing Black Friday prep. :)





I totally 'won' that wishbone when we cracked it. :)
