Thanksgiving in Cancun

We had the best time in Cancun!  It was so nice spending the week together doing nothing but chilling.  
We hat so much fun.  We played Quixx, relaxed by the pool, went wake boarding, ate nice meals, drank lots of good wine and had the best time spending time together.  What a special weekend it was!

 

Thanksgiving

The whole family was together for Thanksgiving so that made it extra special.  (Craig, Maria, Julia, Ethan, Grayson, Liam, Oma, Paul, Bryan)  We made our special crepes for breakfast to start off the day.  We had fun preparing all the dishes and the appetizers.  For appetizers we had meat, cheese, crackers, chips and french onion dip, chips and guacamole, assortment of chocolates and nuts, cream cheese poppers and grapes.  For Thanksgiving dinner we had turkey, ham, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, green bean casserole, frozen cranberry salad, crescent rolls, pumpkin pie, chocolate cake (Julia, Grayson and Liam prepared this) and apple pie.  We had a nice time eating food and spending time together.  We are so blessed to have such a special family.

Thanksgiving

We celebrated Thanksgiving at our new house with our family (Julia and Ethan were with their mom), Oma, Uncle John, Aunt Cindy, cousin Stu and his wife Sarah.  We had delicious appetizers: several cheeses, crackers, and meats, french onion dip and chips, olives, artichoke dip and different chocolates.  For dinner we had turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, ham and Cindy's special ham mustard sauce, frozen cranberry salad, sweet potato casserole, rolls, green bean casserole and stuffing.  We had pumpkin pie, key lime pie and apple pie.  It was so nice to spend time with family that we don't get to see that often.  We had a great day and ate way too much food.  We have so much to be grateful for this year.

Thanksgiving

 We had a nice Thanksgiving this year with Julia, Ethan, Grayson, Liam, Oma, Bryan, Lauren and Aidan.  We had appetizers of cheese, crackers, onion dip, chips, hummus and pita chips, sausage, pepperoni and Lauren's delicious caramel corn.  We had Thanksgiving dinner with turkey, gravy, ham, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, cranberry salad, green bean casserole, brussels sprouts, pumpkin squash and croissant rolls.  Lauren brought dessert in addition to several of the side dishes.  Her apple crisp and chocolate cake with homemade whipped cream were delicious.  

The kids had fun playing together and we ended the night watching the movie Planes.  It was great having Julia and Ethan home for the holiday.  The boys adore them and had the best time hanging out.  It was Liam's first Thanksgiving so we had to dress him up in the same outfit that Grayson wore on his 1st Thanksgiving.  I did a side-by-side comparison picture and it's amazing how much they resemble each other.  They are not identical, but definitely brothers.  What a great Thanksgiving!
