We had a quiet weekend over Thanksgiving. It was just our family, at home. It was both relaxing and a time to catch up on things. It was nice to feel refreshed before jumping head first into the crazy again. At some point over the weekend, it occurred to me that this was our 10th Thanksgiving with kids. How on earth did that happen? Then I decided to look back on our Thanksgivings.
2006 - In 2006 Ree/The Repo Monster/Enemy Garlic was 3 months old at Thanksgiving. We took her to Cincinnati for the first time. (The dogs rode with us too!) Ree cried and then passed out while we ate Thanksgiving dinner with Jeff's family.
2007 - We had just moved to Wilmington that week. Jeff had gone back to Athens to get the dogs, and he and the dogs arrived in Wilmington in time for a late dinner.

2008 - This year was a little odd. The boys were 5 days old and I was home from the hospital but they weren't. The NICU nurses did decorate for Thanksgiving and I think we even got cards "signed" by the boys. Ree, the cutie, had just learned how to fold her hands to pray.
2009 -We had a big crew here for the boys' first birthday and Thanksgiving. The crew was so big, in fact, that there was a kiddie table.
2010 - I have no recollection of this Thanksgiving (hey, I was 8 months pregnant and had 2-year-old twins. And a 4-year-old!) But apparently it was a low key affair with just our family.
2011 - We had a whirlwind week. We were in Orlando for my cousin Michele's wedding. We also went to the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner. And we went to the Magic Kingdom two days that week. And we celebrated the boys' 3rd birthday. Phew.
2012 - It was another quiet Thanksgiving at home. With some really interesting faces from Leon.
2013 - Our friend Jenna and her daughters joined us for dinner. After dinner we successfully distracted the kiddos with Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.
2014 - The 2014-2015 school year is the "lost" year. I have no idea what we did! For Thanksgiving or any other day. But apparently we attended lots of school-related Thanksgiving events.
2015 - Jammie Day! Does it get any better than that?
Hope you had an enjoyable Thanksgiving this year (and in prior years too)!
