Mom & Dad in Finland!

Monday, December 2, 2013

We were both so excited and thankful that my parents were able to come to FInland and spend Thanksgiving with us! We were able to take one little trip to a near by city Seinajoki. After that Brad had his surgery and isn't able to walk much or rather he walks very slow with his sweet crutches. We stayed home and spent a lot of quality time together and caught two of Brads teams basketball games. They were able to experience the nice snowy weather and the cold blizzard weather all in one week. We had a lot of fun and already miss them so much! They should be almost to Dallas by now. We took TONS of photos so figured this post would mainly consist of them. Enjoy :)

I hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving! We had Brads surgery on Thursday so we celebrated our Thanksgiving on last night (Friday). We had the coach and his family over, the teammates, my friend Sara and of course us four (including my parents, YAY!). It was such a great time of food and fellowship! I am truly thankful for all of the awesome people we have met here and formy parents being here to help us put during Brads recovery.

Our Menu:
Chicken (we did whole chickens since Turkeys are very sparse around here.)
Stuffing
Green Bean Casserole (& reg. green beans for Brad)
Mac&Cheese
Homemade Rolls
Pumpkin Bread
Deviled Eggs
Pumpkin Pie Bars (with tons of whop cream!)

Here are a few photos we were able to get of our Thanksgiving celebration:
