Thanksgiving

This year we did not have our normal Thanksgiving. For the first time we traveled for a soccer tournament with the family. I must admit I was not thrilled at first. I am not one for change, I am all about tradition. It was a little sad to miss out on time with the family and all of our usual Thanksgiving traditions but my husband is the best, he made our Thanksgiving perfect. After watching some of the Macy's parade we all loaded up the car and headed to Downtown Disney to walk around. The kids had a great time. A and I hit the princess side of the Disney Store :) That was a first for this family!

I love the holding hands

I think they are finished!

 Later that day it was time for a little practice so the boys could get their legs stretched and ready for the tournament. It was so nice to be able to spend the afternoon outside in the beautiful Florida sunshine! The boys played soccer, the twins just ran and ran, and I enjoyed being able to take pictures of my sweet family.

A beautiful place to practice soccer, right by the water!

I love my daddy!

For dinner J and I went with several other families out for deep dish pizza and a spaghetti dinner while Eric stayed behind at the hotel to get the twins ready for bed. After their busy day we knew there was no way they would make it through another outing at a restaurant.  It was so nice to be able to have adult conversation while the boys all sat at their own table. That was a wonderful Thanksgiving treat!!
While this day was not our typical Thanksgiving day it was just as special. I am so thankful for the family time we had with each other and the special time out with friends.
