Amish Thanksgiving











Thanksgiving this year was AWESOME! We drove up to Pennsylvania and stayed in a farmhouse on a dairy farm in a little amish town with 4 of our favorite familys in the whole world!
Beck, Lydia, Preston, and Parker - 4 of the 9 little kiddos

The kids got to take a little tour of the farm that we stayed on and see all of the cows. Beck loved talking to the cows and from this picture it looks like they were pretty interested in whatever he was saying to them.





We drove up Wednesday night and when we got there we played games and ate pizza. We decided to have our Thanksgiving dinner at an amish buffet on Friday night so on Thanksgiving day we spent most of the day playing games and just hanging out at the house, the kids were good at entertaining eachother and the boys watched some football and that night we all went to the Hershey factory aka HEAVEN! Except for the fact that you still have to pay for the chocolate the factory just gets you good and hungry for it.

We decided to do some black friday shopping at the outlet malls since they opened at midnight. No surprise it was totally insane and the lines were out of control but we all got a few things so at least we didn't shop until 3 am for nothing!





Friday before we had our "Thanksgiving Dinner" we went on some amish buggy tours. They stuffed us all in the back of a buggy and took us around their farms and told us a little more about the amish culture. I loved it!










I don't know what the deal is but lately Beck has been making this face where he looks like he is totally disgusted in something like 300 times a day he does it all the time not just when he's mad or disgusted...I hope its just a stage haha.







Our cute little tour guide!



We are so blessed to have the greatest friends ever to spend our Thanksgiving with during these years when we can't spend it with our family. What a blast!
