once, again the Lakes invaded our house for Thanksgiving! Just kidding....we love it, we really do and we are especially glad that we have more than 2 toilets and 1 shower to share with them. Our kids were way too excited to see them.
The Lakes arrived late Wednesday night and then all the boys went to play in the annual Turkey Bowl the next morning. I had to laugh because Sabe was moaning & groaning about playing and saying he was too old to be playing football anymore. Well, apparently they played pretty well and Sabe threw a few touchdown passes, so he came home with a big of swagger and a much bigger head than when he left. They really did have a great time and they even included the little guys in the game as well.
Michele and I stayed home and did our thing in the kitchen. We always have such easy jobs as far as our contributions to the big meal goes. I made corn pudding, fresh green beans, and sugar cookies, while Michele made her green salad.
We headed over to the farm and had a really great meal. Julia always does an amazing job with setting the tables, which Olivia and Jaxon helped with the day before. You will have to notice the centerpiece--Julia ordered this from Hawaii. Isn't it awesome?
The rest of the day consisted of football and the kids making the chandeliers shake.
