For some reason, this Thanksgiving felt like it should already be Christmas. Maybe because i started playing Christmas music on the first of this month? Maybe because we were eating LOADS of yummy food? Maybe because we got our first REAL snow of the season? Maybe because my brother was in town and having family in town is a treat?
Drew got in late Wednesday night. And the boys had him up and wrestling with them by 7:30 Thursday morning. They had been anticipating his visit for probably what seemed like forever to them. And they had a blast. And Drew was a lot of fun and a really good sport.
We had a tasty Thanksgiving dinner with all the traditional nibbles. The boys roughhoused with Drew. The boys went to bed. We played a few rousing games of Sequence and watched a movie. Relaxed and easy. My kind of day.
This morning we got up and took Drew to visit the Garden of the Gods. It snowed a decent amount on Thanksgiving so it was really beautiful--the red rock with the snowy accents. It was really cloudy when we got there but on our walk back down the sun was coming out and the sky was blue. Bode and Keegen spent a lot of time gathering snow to throw on everyone. And we got some great pictures.
We came home and crashed, watched some football. Ate some more. And then Drew had to head to the airport. On his way to sunny California for a friend's wedding.
We had a great time. I think we wore him out! The first thing Bode said to me when i got home from dropping Drew off was, "I can't wait until Uncle Drew can come to our house again!" You game, Drew?
