Festivities with the Matthews

We have celebrated most of November with the Matthews. They joined us for our annual Turkey trot the Saturday before Thanksgiving. I did not run the 5k being 32 weeks pregnant and stayed back and watched the boys. Melanie rocked and was one of the first to cross the finish line.
Ryan won a turkey in the raffle!
We had the Matthews over for Thanksgiving dinner. I finally hosted Thanksgiving and it actually turned out pretty great. The weather was in the 60's so we started with a hike and then we were able to enjoy our meal while the boys napped. Everything turned out perfectly. We even followed my tradition and had a bonfire at the Matthews and sang Christmas Carols! I don't have any pictures of the day because I was too busy EATING!!
On a different day, we went to Santa's village with the boys. Sam would only ride the rides if Rivers went with him. Both boys cried when we introduced them to Santa. But we still had a wonderful time getting ready for the Christmas season!

He looks so big on those rides now! I love the turkey cups, and love that you kept the tradition of your Thanksgiving bonfires. That Thanksgiving in Bainbridge was one of our most favorite and memorable holidays.
