Our 4th Annual Thankgiving with friends

Tonight was our 4th annual ( is it weird that I can't remember the very first one 4 years ago) Thanksgiving Dinner at our home with a group of friends we've gotten close to over the years because our kids were all born at the same time.

While we were tired from our antics the night before and hated all the prep and cleaning for this event, we LOVE this party and having everyone out to our home in Monticello! The group is ever changing as two dear families have moved away but it's always growing too..this year there were two women pregnant. This year, 19 friends sat in our living room together to share a meal and give thanks for each other!
I call this battle of the pony tails- love it!

The basement was taken over by children and toys and we just did our best not to step on anyone

Yum- TONS of food to share!

I had sticker books made for the children out of fall napkins and tons of fall stickers to keep them busy

Everyone loved it...

But not as much as the garbage bag of dress up clothes I dragged out of the back room-look at these cuties!

And these heros!

The kids ( not bad, only one crawled away)

Our wonderful friends. Check out what we looked like last year HERE or the year before HERE

Thanks friends for being such an important part of our lives!
