So for Thanksgiving Ted's Mom, Stepdad, Dad, and my Mom came to visit. They all came last year along with Ted's Great Uncle and Ted's Brother and Sister in Law and her Mom. This year Rick and Lisa are celebrating Thanksgiving in their hometown of Phoenix with their new little bundle of joy, Riley! We missed them and missed meeting my first niece, but will see them around Christmas time. So we assembled all the troops and went shopping for food, which included 2 grocery stores, Costco, and a liquor store! Gotta love it! When we throw a feast, we throw a FEAST!!! Then we picked everyone up from shuttles and airports and settled in for a few days of family, food, and fun! Caleb was overjoyed to see all of his Grandparents.
Grandma Ann made a WONDERFUL turkey, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pies, mashed potatoes. My Mom helped and also added green bean casserole and sweet potato casserole. YUM!! The men watched football and played with Caleb. :) The next day we took a drive up to Pikes Peak. It was gorgeous day, but at the top the wind was so bad, they closed the doors to the summit house on one side! It was sooooo cold. Caleb and I didn't even get out of the car. People were running to their cars it was so bitter cold. That night was the best! Ted and I went on our first date since Caleb was born!!! He took me to the Melting Pot and we left Caleb with all the Grandparents! We had such a great time! It was nice to still be so in love after a baby. :)
On Saturday we drove Mom and Ted's Dad to the airport and then hit the outlets at Castle Rock for a speedy shopping trip. And tai food for dinner.
What a great holiday! It is so nice to have family fill your home! And they spoil us rotten by paying for the food, cooking it, and buying Caleb tons of clothes!! Thank you Grandparents!
