We had a great few days celebrating Thanksgiving with Darron's family this year. Our morning started with mommy watching the annual "Macey's Day Thanksgiving Parade." This has been a tradition for me since I was a little girl, always watching it with my mom.
Thankfully, over the years, my kids (especially Preston) have really been getting into the parade with me. This year, Preston and Parker both spawled out on my bed taking in the floats!
As is tradition, we headed up to Grandma's house for the Cowboy's game and lunch. All the family was together (minus Kim and Mark) and we had more than enough food, laughter, play time, and naps. The kids enjoyed playing outside some too.
Our family and the Coronado's spent the night at Grandma's like usual, so us girls could head out for our early morning shopping on Good Friday!
After a day of shopping, we decided to stay at Grandma's house another night and make gingerbread houses from scratch, and watch movies.

After I made all of the gingerbread molds, the dads settled in to help the kids build the houses.
The kids (and Grandma) finished decorating the houses on Saturday. And after lazing around together all day, we all decided to just stay up at Grandma's one more night, watching movies and enjoying each others company. We headed to our own houses Sunday morning, quickly got ready for church, and then all surprised Grandma by going to her church with her and all going out for a great lunch together afterwards.
So, Thanksgiving lasted about four days this year! We made great memories and just had a good time being together as family. So thankful for times likes this as they strengthen, build, bond, and solidify us as family!
