Thanksgiving Weekend!

Wow what a weekend! It was a much needed break and it was so amazing to be able to spend time with Scotty!! To kick it all off Wednesday night we had a game night with a couple of friends. Settlers, treats, and friends whats better then that. Then Thursday Scotty went and played in the Turkey Bowl and he had a blast! Barrick and I were great cheerleaders and enjoyed hanging out with all of the other moms and kids. Of course I started cooking Wednesday and was cooking until dinner started. We hosted dinner at our house and had a bunch of friends over.

Here we are getting ready to eat!

After dinner Scotty took a turn holding Anna our neighbors brand new baby, and they ended up taking a nap together. I would have to say it was a very smart move on his part he didn't have to do dishes because nobody wanted to wake the baby up by getting Scotty up to help.

Here is one of the tables of Friends I know, I know blue for Thanksgiving! I wanted to use real dishes but I have been so busy lately, and with so many people and a small Kitchen I opted for paper this year and couldn't find any Thanksgiving colors oh well!

Here is the other table, thanks everyone for such a great day!

I would have to say it turned out really well, with ten adults and seven kids, the Christmas tree only got knocked over twice and only a couple of food stains to clean up, I would say it was a success!

Later that night we had some friends who are going to Medical school up in New York come down to visit for the weekend. We had such a great time, Friday we of course went shopping and got a few great deals and had fun buying Barrick Christmas presents. Then Saturday we joined Ian and Krystle down to DC. We were able to go to the Holocaust Museum, the Natural History Museum and a couple of the Monuments, then Barrick was exhausted so we headed home.

Here we are in front of Jefferson Monument.
Here is Krystle, Scotty, Barrick and Ian walking to our next stop.
Barrick LOVED the Natural History museum he couldn't get enough of the animals. He was so excited about them, his favorite was the Grizzly bear he started crying when we took him away from it.
Here is Barrick and I in the Africa section.Here is our little buddy all bundled up.
Last, here we are on our way back to the car. Barrick was so exhausted he actually let Scotty hold him like this for about fifteen minutes before he fell asleep. As you can tell Scotty loves nothing more then to cuddle with his little side kick. I just love them! We had such a great time Barrick and I ran ourselves a little too thin. Barrick woke up sick Sunday morning and I followed shortly there after. Oh well it was a very fun and memorable weekend, thanks everyone for making it so great!
