Thanksgiving

We lucked out this year and were able to have Thanksgiving in Colorado. Which means, all the Weldons had to drive/fly out (Thanks guys!) here. They started arriving Tuesday with the Van Wyks flying into town first. Then, the rest of the gang drove out Tuesday afternoon, had a quick stop in Nebraska that evening, and showed up in town on Wednesday.

Jeni was in town, so of course we expected awesome pies. She was able to pre-make some Wednesday, with the help of a few kids.

On Thursday, we all headed over to Tom and Shelley's for a fun day of family and dinner.

Some of the men took the kids to the park while we got the meal ready.

We even had room for a kids table. They were all pretty well behaved during the meal. Everything tasted great.

And we had quite the pie spread.

After dinner I had the kids complete a craft I found on Pinterest.

Pretty cute, huh? They enjoyed it and it kept them busy for a while.

The men did some "Black Friday" shopping on Thursday, so the women went out Friday morning. We had signed the kids up for an ornament decorating class at Arts on Fire, so we dropped off the five older ones and headed to Target. Since shopping started Thursday night, Friday was pretty slow. There were not many people out. It was pretty nice. 

Then we all met up for a lunch at Crave. 

They have some interesting burgers. 

 
 Saturday was the day of the movie. It actually started Friday night with a group going to see the new Thor movie at the Alamo theater. It's a pretty cool theater where you can order drinks and food during the movie.

Then, the next morning Sandy, Adam, Kerry, and I went to see Catching Fire (it was amazing!). Afterwards, Sandy, Adam, and I hung out at the theater and waited for the kids to show up with Shelley to take them to see Frozen (equally amazing!). 

It was a weekend filled with fun and great family time. Most of the crew took off Sunday to drive home, with the exception of the Van Wyks who were scheduled to fly back Monday evening. This meant we had time to squeeze in a trip to Adam's favorite place to eat, Casa Bonita!

The kids love eating here but it is definitely a place we save for when Uncle Adam is in town. 

Thanks to the entire Weldon crew for making the trip out here for a wonderful Thanksgiving.
