Thanksgiving and Ben's visit, Garden of the Gods

For Thanksgiving Ben, Nicks friend and one of our groomsmen, came to visit us. The guys had a nice week hanging out and catching up. Parker just adored Ben and called him "uncle Ben". Once Parker realized he had Ben's attention for some of the adorable things he does he just kept working it and soaking it up. Ben seemed to really have fun with Parker as well.


On Thanksgiving the guys did all the cooking for the exception of my green bean casserole. They were very picky about their cooking and everything turned out great. Nicks friend Correy came over as well for dinner and to watch football. Correy grew up down the street from Nick and has lived in Colorado longer than we have.




Due to Parkers love of music he enjoyed playing the guitar with Ben. Ben would press the strings and parker would strum.

We spent a beautiful afternoon at Garden of the Gods. I think Ben actually takes more pictures than I do, Nick was thrilled =)

Can you guess what happened after the picture snapped

Parker got a call from Grandma Lynn and strolled down the sidewalk chatting away

He wanted to jump off the rocks over and over again, he had Ben wrapped around his little finger
