We all got ready and headed out to the house. When we got there Mimi had her whole island filled with food , food and more food. It smelled sooooooo yummy!
The boys had some fun talking and singing animals waiting for them from Aunt Kathy. We all visited a bit and then got serious eating. Mimi had set up a kids table for the boys. We loaded their plates up with all the yummy food and they were in heaven. There was so much food and our plates were overflowing but we somehow managed to eat it all. Not only did we eat that but we all had desert too! Nolan seems to have this whole Thanksgiving thing figured out becuase he was ready for a nap right after lunch. Nathan got to hang out with his favorite guy "Uncle Chad". I call him uncle because it just seems weird to call him cousin Chad.
Nathan also talked Kathy into taking him to the playground to play. While they were there the cold front came through and they barely made it back before they froze. Nathan kept telling Kathy that the cold was getting in his mouth. ha ha ha.
As we were all sitting around later in the day the power went off! Papa scrounged up a few flashlights and we just sat and waited. It kept getting darker and we waited. Right when I thought we needed to bring Mimi and Papa home with us the power came on! Whew. I was very worried about all the leftovers!
By the time we loaded in the car the boys were so tired. We got home and put them in their beds . This was an extra special night not only because of Thanksgiving but Charlie, Nathan's elf of the shelf, was coming for his stay with us that night!!!!
It was such a great day full of food and family. Have I mentioned how much I love the holidays.
