Mom and Dad hosted Thanksgiving this year and we planned on spending the entire day together! Kelsey had to work the night before so she came over to our house as soon as she got done with work so that she could have a quiet place to sleep, and as soon as we finished breakfast, we packed up everything we needed for the day and headed out!
We started the day off with a hike to Clayton Beach. Mom stayed home so that she could get the turkey in the oven and so that Lydia and Owen could both get good morning naps. It started off a bit rainy, but the sun ended up coming out and made for a nice hike!

| She wanted to write 'Happy Thanksgiving' but that was a bit too long...so she decided to do a happy face and a 'T' instead! |
Back at Grandpa and Grandma's house, we grazed on a light lunch, followed by a variety of different activities. Some went for another walk since the sun came out, there was some crafting that happened, a bit of Thanksgiving meal prep, and some football-watching. Eventually, we let the kids all watch a movie and then sat down for a delicious turkey dinner.
I can confidently say that everyone had a good day and nobody went hungry! And thanks to Ben for a majority of these pictures!!
We all gathered back at Mom and Dad's house on Friday to celebrate Owen's 1st birthday. Since Josh and Amanda were up for Thanksgiving, Kelsey wanted to do Owen's party while they were still around.
