Thankful for Family

We had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend with lots of family members to celebrate with.  It all started with Grandma Nancy’s arrival with presents, treats, and hours at the park.  Brynn was in heaven and still to this day cannot get enough M&M’s.  Aunt Heidi, Uncle Eric, Kinley and Pam and Marv all arrived on Wednesday with excitement.  My mom and Ashley were also here to help celebrate, which topped off the festivities.  The weather on Thanksgiving Day was so beautiful that we ended up eating outside all together at one long table.  The girls were even able to sit up at the table and loved looking and giggling at each other.  By the end of the day they were “two peas in a pod”.  One was always trying to mimic the other.  Whether it was Brynn trying to scoot on the floor like Kinley or Kinley trying to keep up with Brynn.  Either way it is going to be so fun to watch these two girls grow up together.

The rest of the weekend was spent shopping, walking the beach, having nice dinners, and a duffy boat ride.  The boat ride was the perfect way to spend an afternoon.  The sun was shining, the water was calm and blue, and Christmas decorations were up to see on some of the homes.  Captain Cameron took turns letting the girls drive the boat and Brynn even tried to feed the birds that were following us.  Overall, it was a wonderful weekend filled with great memories and it makes we take a pause to think that these experiences are too few and far between, and that we were very thankful that both of our families were willing to travel to spend such a wonderful holiday together.  
Honk Honk!!
