Thanksgiving visit from the Larmores

About a month before Thanksgiving my SIL Anita called and said they were thinking of coming up from San Diego for a Thanksgiving visit!!!!  How fun :-)

Plans were made, rooms in our house were rearranged a bit, they survived the 16 hour drive and arrived late on Sunday night.  We were super excited to see them.  It was late so after the kids went to bed, we ate spaghetti and caught up on life.

Peter had to work on Monday and Tuesday so we had to have fun without him....we let the kids play/destroy the house in the morning then we headed out for 99cent bowling.  The kids had a blast.....despite the cranky old ladies next to us who tried to put a damper on it all.  We bit our tongues, they settled down and a good time was had, ha!





We played at McDonalds, ate frozen yogurt, watched movies, gave the kids baths, played some more, and tried to relax some.  We swapped kid watching during naptimes so we could both enjoy coffee dates.





Wednesday night Peter's folks, Poppy & GongGong, and his brother were coming into town.  Only.....there was a bit of a surprise.  His parents didn't know the Larmores were here!!!!!  Hee hee!

When they were set to arrive, the Larmores hid in the garage and rang the doorbell after they had already come inside our house.  They were totally surprised and it was fun.  LOUD and fun, ha! :-)



That night the kids had an extra fun storytime, we ate too much food and watched most of the Obama 2016 documentary.


We successfully kept it all a secret and it was really fun to have the surprise.  The next day was Thanksgiving, but I'll post those details separately.  Friday we hung out in the morning, some of us did a little shopping at WalMart, and we packed up to head through the mountains on the way to Sunriver....

We had rented a condo at a resort there and settled in for a couple nights of coziness and fun.  We loved the wood burning fireplace in the living room, and the kids had a blast looking at Christmas lights, and swimming in all the pools.  I'm slowly learning that everything doesn't always go exactly like planned, but little details are just that, only little details, and overall, we had a great time.











After our fun in Sunriver, both Mom & Dad K and the Larmores had to head for home.  We were really sad to see everyone go.  Even though we hadn't had quality sleep in awhile since our sleeping arrangements involve the boys in our room....

We had a great visit and when we all woke up the next morning, we wished we were together again.  Until next time.....
