We celebrated the 6th Annual Friendsgiving hosted by the Burke Family this year. Val never disappoints with her "hostess with the mostest" ways, and it was even more special to enjoy yummy food and good conversation at the Burke's new home. It is absolutely stunning, and every room looks straight out of a magazine.
I immediately instructed the kids to sit on the front steps for photos as soon as we arrived because it was so beautiful!
Tuttle and Maggie enjoyed playing in the basement playroom while the grownups and babies stayed upstairs.
Connor appointed herself as the official babysitter and cracked me up all afternoon with her exhaustion chasing around the little ones!
After a delicious dinner (I brought homemade squash casserole), a group of us walked down to the river. Val and Paul have such a special spot to visit with their boys. We will be back soon to explore!
I love how the event grows larger every year with new babies. This group is so full of love, and we are lucky to be a part of it! Happy Friendsgiving 2016!
The next day we kept up with another tradition of visiting Burt's Pumpkin Farm the Saturday after Halloween. I hope our secret does not get out, but we found THE DAY to go. The weather officially feels like fall, we literally have the patch to ourselves, and there is no line for the hayride.
Unfortunately Little Boy was feeling a little sick, but in typical fashion, he tolerated our busy lifestyle and was as happy as he could be. I will admit that the extra snuggles were nice.
We wandered through the pumpkins, climbed the tractor, and used dried gourds for mustaches and smiles.
Our final stop was the hayride, the biggest highlight to Maggie. Jacob seemed to relax on the little trip and loved grabbing the hay. Everyone also left with a treat: boiled peanuts for Daddy, Icees for Tuttle and Maggie, and apple cider for Mommy. It was such a nice and relaxing afternoon in North Georgia.
It only took until November, but we are soaking up the fall now!
