Thanksgiving - Round 2

We always get a Thanksgiving, Round 2 (as of a couple of years ago).  As mentioned in a previous post, we have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner the Saturday before Thanksgiving with Beau's family.  Then, depending on the year and what family we're scheduled to see on the actual Thanksgiving day (we switch back and forth between Beau's family and mine), that's where we go.  If it's the year for my family, we go to my mom and dad's house.  If it's the year for Beau's family, we take it easy and go out to dinner!

We started this going-out-to-dinner tradition the last time we were schedule with Beau's family (so, two years ago).  Since half of the family goes with the in-laws on the year that we're with Beau's family, we think it's fun to take the few of us and make it a low-key day.  No need to make a big Thanksgiving dinner for the few of us.  We absolutely love this tradition because it is so relaxing and we feel spoiled without doing all the work.

This year we went to the Daniel's Summit Lodge (just a little bit beyond Heber).  The food was absolutely delicious and the low-key style was just what we had hoped.

Daddy was nice to sit with Evie while the rest of us loaded up our plates.  Then we switched and Evie went with me to grab a little extra food.  As you can see, she is such a good little helper.  My plate was definitely lighter thanks to her help.

Amber, Don, and James were so much fun to have with us.  They got a little Evie lovin' in too!

Mom and Norm were a delight, as usual!  We got to ride up to the Lodge together, and we love spending extra time with these two.  We love our mom & dad!

And, there's no denying that they love Evie too!  

From our little family to yours . . . 

Happy Thanksgiving!!
