Thanksgiving in Denver

This year the entire Kneifl family came out to Denver for Thanksgiving. We were so excited to have everyone come out to visit and meet Chloe. We had so much fun together. This is what we did over the long weekend.

Wednesday; Rich and Andrea arrived and helped us with all the grocery shopping. later this evening Grandma, Grandpa, Brigett and Tyler arrived. We stayed up late chatting and hanging out.

Thursday; Today began the day with lots of cooking (thanks Brig!) and smoking (meat that is).

Friday; The guys went out and about to the Triumph store, another motorcycle leather shop, out for lunch and bought even more meat. The girls hit the Mills Mall for some Black Friday shopping. There was daily and nightly swimming and ping pong tournaments.

Saturday; We all went to Watercourse for breakfast. This is Hollie's favorite vegetarian restaurant and getting her meat loving dad and brother there and enjoying the food was way easier than she thought! Then the guys did some more guy things, auto parts store, smoking meat, drinking beers, swimming, hot tubing and playing ping pong. While the ladies did some more shopping at Babies R Us and at the Cherry Creek Mall.

Sunday; We spent the early afternoon playing games and winning tickets at Dave and Busters. Tyler hit the jack pot with over 3900 tickets! Grandma, Grandpa, Brigett and Tyler then departed that afternoon a little late because of the weather, it was snowy and the flights were slightly delayed.

Monday; Rich and Andrea got an early bird flight back home.

All in all, it was such an awesome holiday filled with a ton of home cooking. I will remember this holiday spent with 9 family members in our 800 square foot apartment forever. I guess when you're with the people you love space just isn't an issue. Thank you all for making the trip out to Denver. We love you so much and look forward to seeing you again over Christmas.
