A Thanksgiving Album

What a relaxing and enjoyable weekend.

Kevin's parents and Marie's Mom (little Oskar's Oma) joined us for our annual Thanksgiving weekend this year and added such a fun and festive dynamic.  We had a total of 14 adults and 2 toddlers!

You've seen our Thanksgiving weekend routine of eating, relaxing, and drinking in past years (here and here), so I'll leave you with some pictures instead of my usual ramblings...  ;)

I hope your holiday was equally memorable.

Here are some pictures, if you'd like to see. During George's 20 week ultrasound Kevin admitted he'd almost fallen asleep, so I will admit: I had a hard time staying awake this time  :) But we did get to see him in 4D ultrasound which we've never done before, so that was really cool.
