Spung Thanksgiving 2017

What a fun Thanksgiving this year! We have had some sickness in the Clark home so I am just barely getting to our Thanksgiving post but, oh what fun we had! Mom and Dad came down about a week before everyone else so we could get some things done around the house. I had my "Pops Please" list ready to go for when they got here. Dad is great at fixing things and we are so grateful he was willing to help us out. Especially as first time home buyers. We didn't have a ton of big things that needed fixed but we did have several small things :) Thanks Dad for your hard work and all you did to help us out!




One day for school we did bird nests out of Rice Krispies and M&M's. The boys ate everything but the Krispies part, haha. Guess they don't care for Rice Krispie treats. 


Movie nights are always fun! Geno came down with Mom and Dad as well. The boys LOVED having Geno around :)


Jack reading to Pop while he works on the tub. Too cute!










A Moana Movie Night! 

Pop reading to Beckham


So grateful for these two! We had so much fun with Grandma and Pop while they were with us. We can't wait to get them back down here!

The Calderwood crew and Erin came down the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. We were so happy to have cousins and time together as a family. We missed the Denver Spungs and the Freezes but maybe next year they can join us ;) Corey flew in to surprise the kids on Wednesday night! It was soooo great to have everyone with us. 


Our pre Thanksgiving dinner spread.

We found out one of our friends would be in town on Thanksgiving instead of with her family in AL so she spent this great holiday with us. Thanks Megan for coming and bringing that delicious cake :) So happy you could join our crazy family!


This little girl LOVES her Pop! I do believe the feeling is very mutual :) 







Trying on one of Mom's birthday gifts from Dad this year! I actually celebrated my bday on Thanksgiving and it was awesome! 
Best day of the year!



Uncle Corey and Quinnie Bear


Nothing like after nap time snuggles with this kid. You're lucky Aunt Erin!


We had so much fun playing with different apps on Er's phone. How cute are these two?! 
Aubrey Marie and Quinn Marie :)

I'm liking this app :)

The many faces of Beckham James :)



School time! I actually didn't plan on doing school but everyone was so excited to do school with the boys we busted it out. They loved having their cousins help them.


Calderwoods went to a near by field and played some football while the rest of us relaxed. Beckham boy tagged along and LOVED it!

Love these pics of everyone outside enjoying the sunshine. There is nothing like Texas weather :) 


What a fun group!


                                       Playing "Go Fish"                                                  Aunt Erin and Q


Instead of going around the table this year to say what we are thankful for we all made a turkey. Each feather had what we are thankful for on it. It was so fun to see how each person created their turkeys and what they were thankful for. Some turkeys looked more like ducks and there was one "special" turkey that looked like a peacock, hahaha. We had a blast making these!



Aubrey and Haley were so sweet to watch the kids while the adults went out to dinner. Texas Roadhouse did not disappoint! It was so good and what great company! Love these people!!!


Our family LOVES games so of course we had game nights.


We introduced Cor to the amazing game of Settlers of Catan and I believe we may have ended up introducing him to his new favorite game ;) 


Kam Jam and Quinn


I think it is safe to say that Quinn LOVED all of the attention she received over those few days :)

We had soooo much fun hosting Thanksgiving this year! I love making food and having company so this was a double win for me :) Plus it was my birthday...seriously could this have been any better?! Ummmmm nope it couldn't. We would be up to hosting every year if people are willing to put in the time and miles. I know the drive can be long and hard but we really appreciated everyone for making the trek down south. We hope they all had as much fun as we did!
