Thanksgiving at the farm has been a tradition for several years now and we wouldn't have it any other way. It is good old fashion family fun and the kids are always so excited to see everyone, especially Andrew, Victoria and the horses!
So what do the kids do at the farm while we are there? One thing they barely do is spend time inside. They literally played outside every day (including Thanksgiving day when it was raining nonstop). They rode their bikes, ran up and down the driveway, played endless games of tag, helped feed the horses, played in the stalls and went horse back riding.
They also did a scavenger hunt (created by Great Uncle Brian) which pitted Victoria and Luke v. Julia and Andrew. Victoria and Luke won but they all had a blast. One night we roasted hot dogs over a fire and did smores. So delicious! The last night we were there, JD set up a tent and all four attempted to camp out. Luke, Andrew and Victoria all came inside (they were too cold) but Julia braved the elements and slept in the tent all night. So adventurous!
As for Thanksgiving dinner itself, JD was our chef this year and made some of his best dishes yet. The food was incredible. Turkey, ham, rolls, greenbean casserole, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes casserole, collared greens and homemade pumpkin pie (I actually made the pie, we had some laughs over my attempt at a chunky crust but it came out pretty well). Yum!!!!
Our last night, all of the adults played Codenames together and I haven't laughed so hard in years. It was an amazing Thanksgiving holiday!!
