What a FUN night! In the past, our family has alternated years for Thanksgiving, switching between my family and Josh's family. However this year was a bit different. Uncle Aaron was tied up on Thanksgiving by a little game called football; he helps coach up at the University of Utah. Unable to make Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving Day, he proposed getting together on the Saturday following Thanksgiving to celebrate. We all agreed and had an amazing night. Scott and Jenn were so nice to host this year (in previous years we have spent Thanksgiving weekend at a cabin together), and they did a wonderful job--everything was perfect. The food was delicious, the details were gorgeous and thoughtful. Annabelle and Liv loved playing with the dollhouse and princess toys; Stockton had lots of room to walk around and play as well. And the adults? We all had a great time talking, laughing, playing games, and dancing with the Wii! It was hilarious and one of the most fun game nights we've ever had! Aaron was unstoppable with all his moves--the points couldn't rack-up fast enough (I admit I was humbled) :) Maddie and her friend were pretty good too, but they've had LOTS of practice! Annabelle and Liv just loved lounging and hanging out in the theatre room watching everyone. Josh and I took turns taking care of little Stocky. Neither one of us could get him to sleep, so we switched off spending quiet, song-filled, dark moments with him. On the way home later that night, he started coughing, was in the ER with Croup the following night, and in the Dr.'s office the morning after that with an ear infection :( Poor little guy--He was such a trooper, having a great time during the day, but it was no wonder he didn't want to go to sleep--he didn't feel well.
We were so happy to have spent such a wonderful day and night with the Bos family! We love our time with them, and I love watching my kids create stronger relationships with their cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. I missed going to the cabin this year! Hopefully we'll find a way to get that tradition back on the schedule in the future!
