The kids woke up in fantastic moods Thanksgiving morning. Tenley and I danced like Rockettes for a bit, then the kids played so nicely together while watching Frozen (Evie's favorite):
Then it was time to make our FaceTime rounds. Technology is such a beautiful thing and being able to see our family when we're so far away on the holidays is oh so wonderful. Tenley got to see Grandma Cath, Grandpa Jim, Great Grammy So-Vay, her Uncles and got to show her cousins her new dance moves or "dance moobs" as she calls them. Christopher and Jayla even showed Tenley some dance moves of their own:
After FaceTiming with my side of the fam, we FaceTimed with Ed's whole side of the fam and Tenley was as animated as ever singing 'Let it Go' on the ottoman for everyone to see (center of attention, as always). Truly, I don't know what we'd do without FaceTime these days, the kids love to see their family.
Tenley decided she needed a quick nap after our FaceTime sessions so we got the twins ready for their very first Thanksgiving and OH MY! did they look over-the-top adorable. Like, I can't handle these pictures:
(Her feet!! Can you handle it?!)
Big sister woke up and got in on the Thanksgiving picture fun:
Then, we were off to our turkey dinner destination- The Rices. They had everything set up so beautifully and way too much food. The girls loved the "kid's table" and their adorable turkey hats. Everything was perfect:
The kids had so much fun playing together before capping off the night with some ice cream:
(Thanks so much for having us, Linds, Mason and Isla!)
We have so much to be thankful for this year. We started the year by welcoming two perfect babies into the world who continue to enrich our life daily. We're extremely grateful for my mom's recovery from open heart surgery in July. Tenley started preschool in September and is doing so well. This has been an amazing, yet difficult year that has been full of adjustments and learning curves. We couldn't have done it without all of the amazing family and friends in our lives; which is what we are truly thankful for every day. We love you all and hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving! :)
