Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving seems so long ago! Now that I am done with classes for the semester (Woo Hoo!) I finally have time to catch up on some blogging! 

We were originally suppose to go to Utah to visit the Beans for Thanksgiving, but they are a moving target these days! They sold their house and are living in an apartment until they move to WA state in January. With not having much room for visitors we decided to postpone our trip out west until next year. That left us in Chapel Hill for Thanksgiving with the soccer team. 

My dad's soccer team finished strong this season making it to the final four of the NCAA tournament! We are super proud of how hard they worked and they definitely overachieved for the season. They were still in season over Thanksgiving break so as per usual we took over my Uncle Pete's restaurant and fed over 100 people!

It's always a lot of work, but also a lot of fun.

This is how Donovan and I felt about Auntie Michelle having to miss out. She wasn't able to come home for Thanksgiving because she had a show up in New York going on. We sure did miss her!

But we still tried to make the most of it!

Poor Finley man was a little sick over break so he was a bit down and out. And poor Grammie & Abuelo had to miss Thanksgiving too because they both had the flu! Hopefully we have gotten this crud out of the way for the season!

Marilou brought this amazing caramel cake from Sugarland bakery. It was to die for! And Nel one of my dad's former players surprised us and joined us for Thanksgiving! I use to work soccer camps with Nel and it was so great to see her and her family! And they are moving back to Raleigh this summer! Yay!

This is Finley ruining a potentially great family photo. 

Since Finley couldn't help out too much, he watched the parade and played games with Wendy and Zach. 

We really enjoyed getting to spend some time with family in Chapel Hill!

And of course we ate way too much delicious food!

These two crack me up!

Finley especially enjoyed playing with Uncle Donovan. Check out this cool shot I captured! 

Soccer camp reunion!

Here's the whole Dorrance/Harris clan that was there minus Uncle Michael. Where did he disappear to?

Donovan introduced Finley to World Cup on the Nintendo. Not nearly as fancy as FIFA 16, but still lots of fun!

On Friday night we all watched my dad's team play SCU on TV. Rizzo one of my besties from HS joined us and she might just be a good luck charm! We pulled out the win and were onto the final four! There is only one Carolina after all! Hootie WHO!!!

We had a great time in Chapel Hill, but sure missed Grammie & Abuelo. We have so much to be thankful for, but most of all our wonderful friends and family. We hope you had a great Thanksgiving too!
