thanksgiving times three

We had 2 Thanksgivings this year and then a bonus night with cousins from out of town (and some in town)

 We always spend Thanksgiving day with my family

 and the day after Thanksgiving with Brian's family.  We hosted the big feast at our house on Friday.

 We had a highly anticipated dinner at my parents house on Saturday with Carli's bff that was back in town for a visit.  It took Carli a minute to warm up (she had fallen asleep in the car) but once she was awake, these 2 were inseperable!  Just like the old days.  I guess Els has a baby doll that she has named "Baby Carli." 

I asked Carli the other day, "Where did Elsie go?"  And she said, "she moved away!  She needs to come back!"  We completely agree!

 the kids decorated cookies

 men, busy at work... or play... or whatever they do!

 and we played some fun games!

Sad to say goodbye... we hope we get to see Elsie and parents again soon!
