A Very Liberty Thanksgiving

We headed back to Viroqua to celebrate Thanksgiving with the fam.

How to sum it up: 
Matilda slept for 3 hours that morning.
We watched the Packers beat the Lion.
The Keaty crew arrived, and the fun commenced.
We ate a delicious meal.
We had great fun with all the kiddo chaos.

AND we took Matilda to her first Townie Bar--none other than Liberty, which is Grandpa's bar of choice.
As you can see he is imparting very important wisdom onto his grandchildren.

Like, always drink your beer out of a can coozie.

And that is polite to CHEERS! when good things happen at the bar.


And that if you are too young for alcohol, you aren't too young to get hopped up on a kiddie cocktail.    
Rebecca helped join in on the lessons as well. Like how to hold a baby while holding a jack and coke.




Check out Matilda intensely focusing on this MGD. I am pretty sure she will be a beer drinker like her Daddy.


We didn't spend all weekend in the bar (in actuality it was maybe 30 minutes...but hey the pictures are priceless). No, there were lots of other fun to be had right at home.

Like Finn helping Grandma make scones and learning how to crack eggs.

Matilda getting her first rice cereal (more to come on this!)


And storytime with Grams!


Nate had a ton of fun taking Finn to a hockey tournament (which ended up being a 12 year old girl tourney). And Mom and I took Finn to Arthur Christmas--which was a great way to get into the holly jolly spirit.

I love this time of year, and it is more and more fun with more and more kids in the house!

It was a great weekend and I just want to point out that I was not in my PJ's the whole weekend. Now it is time to start preparing for Christmas. Can't wait to have everyone home again.
Love, Mom

Are you sure there was coke in that Jack and Coke? If I recall, Becca ordered whiskey straight... it was a bold move for a bold lady!
