Thanksgiving in Raleigh

On Wednesday, we drove up to Raleigh for my favorite time of year - Thanksgiving with the Bells!!! 

We stayed at the same hotel again this year and so did lots of cousins who were there to greet us as we arrived and the kids were off exploring around the lobby and playing hide and seek allowing the adults time to visit the hotel's happy hour festivities and catch up! 

Thursday we went to Chaney's house for lunch!  And, every.single.family.member was there this year!  It was so wonderful to see everyone and enjoy the amazing food and time with our family!


Gathering for the blessing before we all dug in!

C and Bo - inseparable! 

All the girls joining forces against the crazy amount of boys in
the family!
 

Uncle Bobby insisted on fishy faces!;)

Tradition:)


Connor flying the drone - such entertainment!


The weather was gorgeous this year and lots of time was spent
playing outside!

Cousin craziness!

Truck ride for the boys!



The girls and Grandpa's turn!



Friday we continued our tradition of going to the fish camp - which all of the kids look forward to I think even more than Thanksgiving Day!  There was, again, food, fishing, boating, games, hammocks, s'mores!  It doesn't get much better than that!



The game from S's birthday resurfaced!



Miles and C - two crazy goofballs!








Cousin love:)

Kate and S - even through the age difference, they were tight again this year!


After all the fun, it was time to say goodbye!  We loved our time with our family and had dreams of next year dancing in our heads before we even got back to the interstate:)
