Four times More: Thanksgiving Week

Thanksgiving week was a blast! It just went by quickly and we had lots of fun as a family. The week started with a visit from Keri! We were really excited that she was in town! We had dinner on Tuesday night with Keri, Sarah's family (Keri's sister), and Drea's family. Keri's sister just had a new baby and she is so adorable. It was amazing to see how small she is compared to Vincent and they are only 2 months apart. He has grown so quickly!

On Thursday, we enjoyed a delicious Thanksgiving turkey prepared by Kyle! He always does an awesome job. The kids were super excited about Thanksgiving. (As excited as any kids could be for a Thanksgiving holiday!) Zachary made the cutest nameplates for everyone with puzzles on the inside. Everyone had a different puzzle, such as connect the dots, riddles, or codes to figure out. It was really funny! He is so creative. We watched the Thanksgiving parade and then we started a new tradition of watching Snoopy's Christmas before going to bed.

On Friday, we did some Black Friday shopping at Target. It really wasn't very crowded so we got a lot of our shopping finished. We have ideas for everyone this year and pretty much know exactly what we are going to get those we haven't bought for, so I am pretty relieved. The kids are going to have a great Christmas!

Finally, on Sunday we had a great time going to see the Cats practice at Freedom Hall. All three kids were dressed in their UK gear. We got to meet two of the new freshmen players, Cousins and Bledsoe. I think Kyle and I were more excited than the kids! Then we stayed to see them shoot around and have a 3-point contest (white versus blue). The kids got into that because we were on the blue side of the arena and the blue team won! Tonight is their next game so it will be fun to see if the kids will get into the games more, now that they have seen the players in person.
