Chad's oldest brother Steve and his family recently drove up from Alabama to have Thanksgiving with us! We were thrilled to have them! Last year our Thanksgiving dinner was held in the hospital cafeteria during Chad's lunch break, and it had been six years since we had spent that holiday with any family.
We aren't the best entertainers, and spent most of the time making meals, visiting, and getting Pratt out of trouble, but we still loved that (minus the Pratt part). We just loved getting to spend time together!
We were able to take them to the Christmas tree farm that we fell in love with last year to help us get our tree. We learned that the day after Thanksgiving didn't make for quite the magical experience we'd had the previous year when we went on a warm day in the middle of the week, but we still had fun having them be a part of our new tree tradition.
I adore all of my in-laws! I know not everyone can say that, and I feel pretty lucky to be a part of such an amazing family. Since Steve and Emily are the only relative within driving distance, we just hope they won't get too sick of us!
