Happy Thanksgiving, a little late

(Max, Koben, Riley (who wouldn't sit still), Emma, Hailey and Trevor)

Thanksgiving with Friends:
Every year the Keeney's host their friends, potluck Thanksgiving the weekend before. It's always a fun time to get together and catch up with our friends. This year we had 7 little ones running/walking/crawling around with 3 more on the way. Things sure have changed.
Thanks Tracy and Abbey for hosting a get together that we look forward to all year round.

Thanksgiving with Family:
We hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoyed a (hopefully) long weekend. We were in Colorado this Thanksgiving which means that Nate had to do some cooking. We hosted Thanksgiving "Dinner" at our house at noon for the Bustamante side of the family (Nate's mom's side). Nate made the turkey, stuffing and gravy and everyone else brought the rest. Everything was wonderful and it was great to spend time with the family.
Once everyone left our house it was time for Thanksgiving "dinner" #2 with the Vielehr side of the family. Although we really didn't eat a full second dinner, because we got there after everyone was already eating, I grazed on leftovers and we had dessert #2. Riley enjoyed having other kids to watch. Pailynn (Nate cousin Derek's youngest daughter who is 2 months older that Riley) was very interested in Riley and kept following him around. They were so cute together and it will be fun to watch their friendship grow as they get older.

Nate's cousin Ryan and his wife Mona were also in town from San Fransisco with their baby girl Selma, who is 6 months old now. Riley loves to bounce on the couch so getting him to hold still for a picture has become a challenge. He kept bouncing on poor Jack. Riley looks a little out of place, it's a very international family.
