We celebrated Thanksgiving this year with the Yeiser family in San Carlos, CA (south of SF on the peninsula). Jeremy met David in Louisville awhile ago since they work in a similar profession. We got connected with them since they had just moved to CA about a year before us. Prior to Elizabeth and David's invitation to spend the day with them, I had no idea what we would do for Thanksgiving. It didn't make much sense to cook a huge meal for just the four of us, especially since my kids wouldn't even eat that much. However, I wanted to make the day special so we wouldn't be too sad about not being home during our first major holiday away. We debated about taking a small trip to take advantage of the four day weekend, but neither Jeremy nor I felt much like planning a trip or spending the money to get away. (We had just bought our airline tickets for KY.) We also wanted to get our house Christmas ready on Thanksgiving weekend since we would only have a little over two weeks to enjoy it before we flew back home to KY. So, it was wonderful when Elizabeth and David extended an invitation for dinner! Elizabeth and I worked together on the menu and we had a wonderful Thanksgiving meal.
We didn't take very many photos that day because we spent the day playing, eating and socializing, but here's a few!

David and Emmy did many activities together.

David and Elizabeth moved back to KY in December. He was given an opportunity to work remotely for his CA employer. They are expecting the second born really soon. We are thankful that they will be reunited with family in KY, but we will definitely miss not having them in CA!
