We had a great Thanksgiving with our family. Dennis and I hosted it, and had a whopping 17 people at our place. It was a day filled with lots of yummy food and fun. Dennis' parents came the night before to help out with the boys, which was huge! Conner was super excited to see them, and pretty much didn't leave grandpa's side. I think he was thrilled to talk to someone else besides me! Conner and Logan had a great time with their cousins Kaitlyn, Ashlinn and Katie. Justin made a celebrity appearance in his CHP car and uniform, which was a major hit for the kids. Conner pretty much worships him, knowing that he drives a 'police car' AND flies in airplane (little does Conner know, he'll never step foot in that puddle jumper...hehehe) !! Justin did get to stay for dinner, which worked out great.

We had a fun and relaxing 4 day weekend, it was SO nice to have Dennis around that long. After we got the house back in order after Thanksgiving, we took a trip to Davis to go to the Arboretum. It was so fun, and Conner had such a good time. He chased ducks, scared lots of chipmunks and frightened many horses......but had a great time doing it! He pretty much ran the entire time, well over an hour. He was worked, to say the least! Then we finished the day with Woodstock's pizza to-go (Chico/Davis memories, minus the 12-pack prior to eating it!).


We finished up the weekend with attempting to take pictures of the boys for our Christmas cards. Let's just say 1292 pictures later.......it was quite the challenge to get them to look and if they even did that at the same time, ask them to smile too! Logan just wanted to crawl and eat grass and Conner wouldn't put his crackers and cheese down (that was our attempt to bribe him to smile!). Needless to say, we may go with individual pics this year ;)

Sounds like you guys had a good holiday. Woodstock's brings back Davis memories for me too (when I'd go visit my friends up there, didn't we figure out we knew someone in common)?
