Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend down in Colorado Springs with my family. This is the first Thanksgiving that Chris and I have spent with my family- for the past several years we have been able to travel to see Chris's family for the holiday, which has been a blessing. (But traveling with two little kiddos is difficult- at least for us. :-) )
Thanksgiving was a fantastic day filled with fun, lots of yummy food and great conversation. Thanks to my mom for doing all of the cooking and hosting! We are truly thankful for the incredible family- near and far- that we have been given.
Over the weekend, my parents reserved rooms for all of us siblings to stay in Breckenridge. Most of my family skied, but Chris and I opted out and decided to just hangout, use the pool and jacuzzi's and just plain old relax. We spent quality time with all of the family and enjoyed the beauty of the mountains. It snowed all weekend- which made everything even more spectacular, but made the 2 hour drive home a 5 hour one... the roads were terrible. But, despite the bad drive home we are truly grateful for the time we had together as a family and that we arrived home safely.


On the way home, Jonathan got tired... and this is the way he fell asleep:

I hope you all had great Thanksgivings as well! Thank you for your friendship and being so faithful in reading the blog.
