We certainly had a very busy Thanksgiving weekend full of family and fun! On Thursday evening my sister-in-law, her husband, and their new little baby arrived at our house. It was so nice to see them, and finally meet my little nephew-what a cutie!! Unfortunately I had come down with some kind of bug the day before, so Friday I was a bit under the weather.
Saturday was quite a busy day! We had L.'s 5th birthday party, and V.'s brother and family came in from NY. It was wonderful that the cousins got to play together. Just because having 2 families in from out of town wasn't crazy enough, we decided to add 15 other children and their families to the mix! It was only 3 other families, but most of our friends have at least 4 children! It actually made planning the party very easy because the kids were thrilled just to run around with each other and play in the basement. We also did a pinata which was a lot of fun. Since this was a November party we had planned to do the pinata inside using the pull strings. I was so worried before the party that the first kid would find the correct streamer and open the trap door. Then none of the other children would get a turn. Well, my worries for nothing when not only did none of the streamers open the pinata, whacking at it with a bat for 20 minutes didn't break it either! We finally had to rip it open and shake it over the kids heads. They loved it!
To top off our wonderfully busy weekend my other sister-in-law and her husband arrived at our house at 1:00 a.m. on Saturday night. Everyone was on their way home by noon the next day, so it really was a whirlwind visit! We were so grateful that everyone took the time to come see us over the holiday weekend.
