this year we were once again lucky enough to spend thanksgiving with craig's sister, kelly, and her lovely family. craig's parents and brother, kurt, with new wife, sarah, were there as well. we were especially lucky that craig's work load was light and he was able to be with us in rhode island almost the whole weekend. we started thanksgiving morning with a good, old fashioned turkey shoot. the dads dressed up in decorated cardboard boxes and ran around trying to dodge paint balls being shot at them by their wife and children (and in craig's case...his mom). needless to say, it was hilariously awesome. especially since the paint balls pierce right through the cardboard boxes. after the turkey shoot the dad's took the cousins for a walk on the beach and then we enjoyed an amazing dinner and amazing dessert.
craig found time to squeeze in a high point trip and i found time to take a bath and a nap. fantastic.
the best part of visiting kelly's family is that her children are so incredibly respectful and well-behaved that it actually rubs off on my kids (sy, anyway) and it usually lasts at least a couple days after we get home. enjoy the photos!
