Turkey, Turkey and Tacos

Nik and I had the opportunity to get out of Portland for the Thanksgiving weekend and travel down to see family. We left Wednesday night and returned yesterday. All in all we spent over 27 hours in the car in a 5 day span. WOW!

We spent Thanksgiving at his brother and sister in-laws house and had a wonderful turkey dinner. We were able to spend time with his Baba and the rest of the family and it was great to see everyone.

The next day we had Turkey dinner at my Dad's house. The whole family was there including all our dogs. Four men, four women, 2 little girls, one in the oven and three dogs enjoying time together. This was to be the only time of year to get the entire family together and we were blessed that it all worked out. We had another wonderful dinner of turkey, stuffing and all the fixings and we spent the rest of the evening watching the UNR vs Boise game. It was an exciting game with the best company.

On Saturday, we spent the day at my moms. Addie and Cameron decided to take the day to spend some time together while they had all this family around to watch the girls. Nik and I volunteered to watch the nieces and we had good company with mom hanging around. We made forts and played silly games with Callie and Avery. Later Zach and Nik went to the shooting range with my dad, while Sarah, my mom and I took over the sitting.  That night for dinner we had my aunt, uncle and a couple cousins join the rest of us for a taco dinner. Ali and Mariah were even able to join, it is always wonderful to see them.  It was about 20 of us and a lot of love.

Sunday, Nik spent that day hanging out at his parents house, while I went shopping with my mom. It brought back memories of all the wonderful days my mom and I would spend together when I lived in Reno. I miss that. That night Steve and Gail took their turn of making us dinner. It was delicious as always.

It was a perfect Thanksgiving with family and more family. Steve and Gail were so kind to let us stay at their house and we had some many exceptional meals with the best company I could ask for. Thank you everyone for the perfect weekend. We loved every moment of it.
