This year we were lucky enough to have the whole Dunbar family together for Thanksgiving. We haven’t been together that often over the years and it is becoming more of a regular event, which I love!
My sister and her family came down from DC and my parents flew in from MI. We were also blessed with a visit from our close family friend Tomee Howard who lives close by Carrboro, NC.
The kids had a blast together playing and doing the silly Thanksgiving Day crafts I put aside for them. Plus they also got a kick out of eating at their very own “kiddie table” during the big dinner.

My parents worked their bums off making a dinner to remember and it was followed by a nice day of relaxing and shopping with my sister and her husband Josh. It was nice to leave the kids at home with my parents to get out of the house for once, but it would have been a perfect day until I came down with a nasty GI infection that put me in the hospital for the entire weekend!
I was dehydrated from getting sick and that brought on preterm labor contractions and was put in the hospital until I was given a clean bill of health. Thank goodness for my parents being here to look after Brayden and for my mother being able to extend her stay until I was back on my feet. Needless to say it was not pretty, but it worked out in the end. Brett and I are just looking forward to the end of this pregnancy because it has been a really rough ride.
Hope your holiday was yummy and less eventful than ours!
