The kids were excited to see each other.
We need to take family pictures before dinner so we hopped into the cars and drove around the corner to try to find a place that wasn't too sunny.
We found some shade nearby that was backed by piles of manure! It wreaked for sure, but served our purposes and was definitely memorable. We took four shots with the tripod and self-timer.
We had Amy take our family photos (no easy task) and she ended up having to stand in the doorway of our car so she could shoot us from above, it was pretty funny. She also had to work around the trash and manure in the background. Good times.
Back at the house the boys played video games, while the girls played one of Whitney's creative games.
Amy helped Robyn with a photography app for her phone, and Olivia and Megan laid on the floor (which was funny because we hadn't even eaten yet).
We all fit at the same table except for Ashley, Megan and Olivia who sat at a little table nearby.
Andrew made an appearance with his besties.
Tess was in charge of organizing names to be drawn for Christmas gift exchange.
We hung out all day.
Amy was oh so happy to get a little nap in.
And then the M&Ms and games came out.
We taught Randy and Landon how to play Wizard.
I brought Thanksgiving Bingo (which I got from Pinterest) and it went over huge.
I also brought Catch Phrase which meant the kids could all play too. It was pretty funny.

Looks like a great time had by all! Happy Thanksgiving!!
You would never one by looking that there's manure in the backdrop!
Looks like an enjoyable holiday for all.
When I read this I thought hold up, I didn't know her parents were in a town home. Then I thought maybe I did but had forgotten. Then I thought this is silly, I don't know your family...or you! Funny how we start to feel like we know people through blogs.
Anyway, looking forward to more CA posts. What did you go for?
Hahaha. Natasha's comment made me smile because I thought the same thing - I knew your parents had moved but didn't quite have the details figured out and then you realize how long we've been reading about each other's families without ever meeting face to face.
That said, I cannot believe how old and grown-up all of the kids are. It's amazing. If we had been seeing each other face to face all these years we probably wouldn't notice the difference as much as when we check in on holiday postings. Wow.
I'm grateful you blog.
Love this blog~
happy Thanksgiving
That town home looks huge! And those appliances are so shiny. I'm usually not into that stuff, but man that chrome is slick. Ha, ha!
It's really not very big, it's an optical illusion!
