A Delightful Thanksgiving

By -
Garrett, Lily and I were so lucky that we were able to enjoy "2" Thanksgiving dinners. One with his family (which I failed to get pictures at . . . ) and one with my family! (Thanks Jed for the great pictures!) Both gatherings were absolutely wonderful!

Lily watching her Mickey Mouse Clubhouse before we head to Grandpa and Grandma Crossley's. Isn't Thanksgiving day all about lounging and eating all day? ~





The Crossly family waiting anxiously for the wonderful Thanksgiving Dinner to start.


One of the most famous Crossley "after dinner traditions" is the annual basketball throw down. Over the years it has generated concussions, pulled groins and there may have even been a knee surgery... Definitely serious business and very competitive. This year, the boys had to clear the court of the snow -- as you might guess, this game is played rain or shine, sun or snow. Though you may see some shorts and t-shirts, it was bitterly cold... the guys were just trying to look tough.




A great day ended with some amazing pies! We sure love spending time with family and truly have so much to be thankful for!

I have loved this yearly tradition of running the Colorado Bolder Boulder with these amazing women.  Unfortunately, this year I had to opt out at the very last minute due to unexpected foot problems (tendonitis).  I love getting geared up every spring and training every Saturday with such a great group of women.  This picture was taken on our annual Saturday breakfast before the run.  I sure hope to run with them again next year.

We got to bring Lily home from the hospital last night. It's kinda crazy to think that this beautiful little girl is ours. We definitely have a lot to learn about being parents, but are sure excited for it. We are especially grateful that our families are so willing to help out with everything. My parents are here right now and then Christina's mother and sister will be coming next week. We feel blessed to always have their support. Here are some pictures from the last couple of days. Here is a very proud grandpa spending time with his little grand daughter. He does such a good job with her and it is neat to see how proud he is. Also, here is one of the funniest little videos. So far, her eyes have been very perceptive, but here, I think she got a little overwhelmed. I think her hands mess with her eyes. We have to keep them covered cause she always is scratching her face. But the video just makes us laugh. She is such a cute little girl!!! As you can see, we are very pro...
