Weekend Update: Cranberries in the Stuffing and So Much Cuteness I Can't Handle It

We spent Thanksgiving weekend in Colorado at Jay's parent's house. Todd & May survived a road trip drove from Kansas with Xander and Liam to be there too so the whole family was together!

Since we arrived after bedtime, we didn't get to see the boys until Thanksgiving morning. Jay and Liam had their morning fix together to start things off:
The boys and I took a nice stroll to the park to enjoy the absolutely beautiful weather we had! It was around 70 and sunny despite all the snow you can see on the ground :) Jay's bestest friend Shawn came down from Denver to celebrate with us, so us girls were definitely outnumbered!

Liam giggled the entire time on the swing!
Xander had fun on the slide!

Karen and May put together a beautiful traditional dinner that we all enjoyed: Turkey, Stuffing (Jay's favorite part), Green Bean Casserole, Cranberry Sauce, Sweet Potatoes (my favorite part), Mashed Potatoes & Gravy, Creamed Onions, and of course Pumpkin and Apple Pie for dessert! We were so stuffed!
Xander wasn't a big fan of the whole thing. He had a lot more fun browsing through the Black Friday ads and giving Todd a hard time.
Liam on the other hand....Liam LOVED the cranberry sauce. He loved it so much in fact that he put some in his hair (and up his sleeve, and on his chin) for later.
Other than a big dinner, the rest of the weekend was pretty relaxing. We watched Star Trek, Up! and Blues Clues...

and played Hide & Seek...who's in the cabinet?????
BOO! Hi Liam!
We watched football (Go Big Red - Nebraska won!)- aren't the guys so cute in their Huskers shirts?

Oh and I took lots of pictures of these cutie pies:


We did some cooking too. On Friday night we made turkey soup and on Saturday night Jay made this absolutely delicious pepperoni lasagna - with homemade sauce! It was soooo good & we gobbled up every last bit!
On Sunday, Jay, Shawn, Karen, Mary and I went to see The Blind Side. What a great movie. I really loved that it was a true story and that it wasn't an old story - it seems like a lot of the sports related movies I've seen are about something that happened decades ago. In this one, it's very relevant as we watched the main character play for the Ravens while we were waiting to board our plane that night! It was very inspiring and we all really enjoyed it!

Well, there you go. Lots of cuteness, lots of family, and no pictures to prove I was there :( Seriously though - next time I'm giving Jay the camera duties!
