The Thanksgiving of all Thanksgivings

Holidays, Vacations, , , , , ,

This year Thanksgiving was especially awesome because Josh and I got to be with both of our families, all at once. Yay! Josh and I basically come from mirror families: both the oldest of six kids, with siblings all the same ages, Josh with all brothers and me with mostly sisters (and one awesome brother Cole we all love). So when Josh and I got married, our families got along great and became best buds. Josh’s mom was so nice and invited my whole family out to their house for Thanksgiving, and it was a blast! Thank you so much Lymans, and thanks for coming, Ellsworths! There was lots of good food, some great Just Dance 3ing, gingerbread houses, games, family photos, and fun.

We got to spend a whole week with the Lymans, too, which was a blast. Carson never lacked for attention, and it turns out he’s got some awesome uncles who love to hold him and make him smile and laugh. And Grandpa and Grandma Lyman, wow! They were the best. Carson was so good and happy all week.

Here’s some photos from the trip! Thanks again family! We love you all!

Model Airplane Night

Just Life, , ,

For our date night last week, we took a trip back to Josh’s childhood and bought a model plane to build. (And thanks to a 40 percent off coupon, our date was within budget!) I was new to model planes so Josh had to teach me how it all worked, but we had a lot of fun. Josh is a pro. I was just happy when I found out that model plane building actually involves work with a nail file, so I was the official filer for the night. Oh, and I was pretty good at putting the decals on, too. Josh was the expert instruction reader and gluer. We were pretty proud of our work, even if we weren’t legit enough to use paint.
