We had a very blessed Thanksgiving because we got to reunite with old friends and family that we hadn't seen in too long! On Wednesday, we met Chris Raley (Rich's childhood friend who is like family) and his wife, Giselle; their two boys, Bryce and Jordan; and Giselle's sister and family. We all had a great time catching up and playing around in Williamsburg! We - and several spectators - enjoyed cheering for Bryce as he raced Rich down the Colonial Williamsburg street! I think Rich had to kick it into another gear! Good job Bryce!
Then we headed to Pennsylvania to spend the holiday with Rich's 1st cousin, James, and his family - Pam, Reagan, Payton, Snickers, and Fluffy! We enjoyed every second together! The guys took all the kids Thanksgiving morning to walk in the woods. Pam and I joined them to find two wet and cold little ones! We ate lots of great food, had a dance off, and watched the kids' performances. We went bowling - Joseph's favorite sport! On Friday we went to the Central Market; let the kids see a little bit of Amish life; and visited Hershey's Chocolate World! I don't think we could have all gotten along any better.
We are so thankful for both of these families and the opportunity to re-connect. It was so much fun to see my "biggest kid" with his buddies!
