We started our Thanksgiving with a nice relaxing morning at home, lounging around in pj's and watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. We prepared some of the side dishes for dinner and my sister came over and hung out with us for a bit.Yusaku's parents hosted Thanksgiving dinner this year and we had a great time! Yosuke, Manami, and two couple friends of theirs, one of whom has a baby, all came in from New York. All total, including kids, there were 17 of us!
Since Yosuke and Manami are expecting a little girl in March, we hosted a baby shower for them at our house on Saturday before they headed back to New York. We had all the same guests that had been at Thanksgiving. After a delicious brunch of quiche and muffins from Big Sky, we played some pretty funny shower games (like guessing baby food flavors and which types of candy bars were melted in diapers) and they opened a few presents. I think everyone had a good time!
Saturday night, we got together with Leslee, Jon, Quinn, and Connor at my parents' house. It was great getting to catch up with them. Sarah, Leslee, and I entertained ourselves by recreating some old photos we found of ourselves. It was pretty funny!
