The kids had a great time playing outside while we prepared the food. This was their favorite thing to do...
Check out Abigail's face...
Watch out for J.T... he's a wild man!
We took a quick family picture after dinner.
Abigail and J.T. love to have Auntie and Uncle Jeff come visit!
On Friday morning, I did something I have never done before. I went shopping early on the day after Thanksgiving. Carolyn and Cara picked me up at 5:45 (Starbucks in hand!) and we headed to Eureka. We had a fun morning (we only shopped until about 9:30am) and found some great deals. We had to get back to Fortuna for the next event of the day....
On the Friday after Thanksgiving we try to go to South Fork Mountain to get our Christmas tree. We haven't done this in a few years but this year were able to go. The Parlatos were here so we loaded up two trucks and headed out! The kids had a great time playing in the snow. There was very little on the ground but just enough for them.
Here's J.T. and his friend Olivia. Ever since they were born, we've been saying they will have an arranged marriage. Hopefully they still like each other in 25 years.
Abigail likes to play with Olivia too. They are both the big sisters in their families.
After we got all the Christmas trees loaded up, we took a few pictures. Yes, I am actually in a picture (thanks Carolyn!), even though J.T. wasn't too excited about it!
Last, but not least, we took one of Matt and his mom, Karen, and Andy and his mom, Pam. The moms have been friends since they can remember, and the guys have been friends since birth.
On Friday night, we had the Renner family (Andy's mom's side) reunion dinner. The kids had a fun time chasing balloons around the room and coloring on the (paper) tablecloths. Overall, it's been a great weekend!
