Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving we were lucky enough to spend it with the ENTIRE Boulton side of the family. We rarely ever have all of Jeremy's siblings and children together in one place, and it was a real treat. Jeremy's older brother Curtice and his family came in from Seattle, and they stayed with us at our house for the week. I thought it would feel so cramped and crowded, but it wasn't bad at all (for me, at least), and we had so much fun having them there. It was a real treat for Olivia to see her cousin, Sofie. Sofie just turned 5, and Olivia has only met her once before, when she was really little. Sofie even slept with Olivia in her bed the whole time she visited.

We were also able to host Thanksgiving for the entire crew at our house, or rather, our condo clubhouse. I've only cooked a turkey once before, and it was much smaller. While this turkey turned out fine, for future Thanksgivings with this many people, I think I'd rather get two smaller turkeys than have to deal with one huge one. 

We went to the aquarium while everyone was in town - Olivia loved spending time with her cousins and her grandparents. Even Ellie let someone other than Mommy hold her. For a few minutes.

We were also able to take some family pictures. The last ones we took were right before Jeremy and I were married. Since then, we've had 4 additional people join our family!
