There was lots of cooking, ice skating, playing and snuggle time going on.
Beautiful Aunt Ritz
The second part of the time we went up to my family's house for more playing, a football game, ice skating, and a day in San Francisco.
The intense football game.
You could tell how intense it was by the fact that Audrey got to play (she even scored a touchdown!) and I played in jeans. All the players.
After the game we had a little round of Rock Band. Much more serious than the football game.

Hanging out with Grande.
On Thanksgiving Day we all headed into the city for a fun day of biking around San Francisco. It was so fun and a great way to work up a good appetite! We biked all around San Francisco, had Boudins bread bowls for lunch, and then over to and across the Golden Gate Bridge. It was good to be in our old stomping grounds again. It was the perfect feeling being there, enjoying all our memories we made there, but happy to have moved on and to be where we are now.
The kids getting their naps in. I love how they are holding hands.
The famous arrow cupid left in San Francisco.
My mom, talking to my Grandpa on the phone, right in front of Dave's old building. All the things I love...my Mom, my Grandpa, and the reason that brought us to San Francisco all those years ago. Plus it shows what a good multi tasker my Mom is! Riding a bike, talking on the phone, and smiling for a picture. Talent I tell ya.
Thanksgiving dinner. Since we got back from San Francisco so late, we decided to have a late dinner, after all the kids were in bed.

I love Thanksgiving. I love the food, the quality family time, and the carrying on of traditions. When we were little girls my Dad would read to us, and we would play with his hair. My now little girl is playing with her Grandpa's hair.
I have so much in which to be grateful.
Happy (very late) Thanksgiving! May the pounds come off as easily as easily as they came on (yeah right).

Michelle!!! Just for you, I am leaving my blog off private. :) I miss you. Looks like you had a wonderful time with your family. I had a dream the other night that we came to visit you in Texas. Maybe we will have to make that happen sometime!!
A few things... Audrey looks like a GORGEOUS little woman in the first picture with Nathan. Why is Joshua bigger than Savs in the picture with Dad? How is it that your kids can fall asleep in a place other than their beds? (That was so stinking cute.) I could kill you for the Thanksgiving picture- HELLO nasty, huge, lowwwww belly.
And lastly, I miss you guys. Come back. XOXO
So much to be thankful for any time of year! So loved having you guys around. I miss you!
This sounds like considerably more fun than most people's Thanksgivings.
Also, some of those pictures are incredible! I love the ones of the football game.
All I can say is, how did the kids get so big and most importantly, SIR THOMAS THE BEST!!!
