Thanksgiving w/ Sadie!

Val, Andy and Sadie made a last minute decision to fly in to see us for Thanksgiving break - amazing!

Sadie arrived late at night and I soon heard giggles coming from Riley's room.

Andy, Val and Sadie came to see Riley play indoor just before leaving to the airport. They got to see her score the winning goal with one minute left in the game!

We had Riley's soccer team for a sleepover right after the game - craziness!

It was like old times...I took the 3 kids to Red Robin and then Target. These were our go-to spots when they were younger and I hadn't taken them all together in years. In fact, we drove by Target and Nate said, "Oh I remember that place I think."  After all the shenanigans in Target, I remembered why I don't take the three of them shopping together anymore!
