Happy Thanksgiving

We headed up to Momo and Papa’s for our annual Thanksgiving eating fest.  I made this cute little turkey (after copying my neighbor).

A Progressive Dinner

This past week we had a progressive dinner with the coaches families.  It started off at The Beans and our house….it helps that we are next door neighbors.  We provided drinks and appetizers.  IMG_9157

The boys started off playing some puzzle games…..

until the rest of the boys arrived and then it was time for football.  As you can see Drew was a bit nervous to jump in.  These boys were much bigger. IMG_9152

That lasted about a second…..

off to round 2.  We had plans to walk to each house (we are all within a mile or so) but the rain quickly changed that plan.IMG_9211

Stop two was the Daarstad’s house (hosted with the Clantons) for dinner.IMG_9212

Their boys are into Star Wars.  Needless to say, that made Luke very happy.IMG_9213
