Thanksgiving 2013

My sister Annette and her family came to visit us for Thanksgiving.  They've been living out east for nearly the last decade, during which time we lived in the west, so we didn't see them very often.  However, now that we live in Pennsylvania, and they're up in Syracuse, NY, we were finally able to get together. It's been several years since we've been able to hang out with both Scott and Annette, so we're really grateful we were able to spend time with them.

Here's the delicious feast we prepared for Thanksgiving, complete with Acini de Pepe:

The scenery outside during our feast was quite beautiful.  This picture doesn't do it justice, but everything was covered in ice and was glowing in the sunlight.  

After the meal, the kids had a great time playing with each other.  Sometimes kids don't get along very well, but fortunately they hit it off.

Hershey Chocolate World
On Black Friday we headed to Hershey, PA to check out Hershey's Chocolate World.  There was a nice free tour, which laid out the intricate process of making chocolate.  The kids also enjoyed decorating their own treats in the dessert cafe. Aside from that though, the remaining activities were so expensive that we couldn't justify doing them. Although we had a pleasant time, it wasn't worth the 4 hours of round trip drive time to go there.

On Saturday, the kids had a great time playing games at home.

In the evening we went to Fun Unleashed, which had a large indoor playground, which the kids really enjoyed.

On Sunday Annette's fam had to head home, but we got a group shot to remember the holiday adventures.
