Thanksgiving was so nice this year. (It always is!) We spent the day at my parents house and enjoyed an abundance of delicious food, wonderful company and watched some football. (The kids hiked with Sean that morning and we watched the parade that afternoon as well.) Katie and John made the cutest Thanksgiving Turkey centerpiece with colorful feathers for us to write our blessings on. It turned out SO CUTE! We may have to make this one a tradition. (I forgot my camer for the actual Thanksgiving Day celebrations. Sorry. These are from the rest of the weekend.)
This is one of the smallest Thanksgiving's I think we have ever had. It was wierd not having more of my family there. (We missed you Keri, Justin, Dusty, Julia, Spencer, Robin and Hayden) We had the best Thanksgiving's growing up. (Janice and Kevin and Kim and Kendee, and cousins, we really miss and love you too!) The kids were excited and made a lot of noise as usual, but we missed all of the cousins.
The kids and I ended up making a vacation out of this weekend. We stayed at Grandma and Grandpa's house until Sunday morning! We shopped, ate, watched football, jumped on the trampoline and Grandma got more than her fair share of the Disney Chanel. It was a lot of work for Grandma...so thanks Mom! (We have the sweetest Mom in the world. Seriously.)
Saturday night a cold front moved in and it got chilly. The kids wrapped up in blankets and jumped on the trampoline and then we got a surprise...RAIN!!! They stayed out long enough to get the blankets soaked before they had to come in. I remember jumping in the rain for hours in Texas and Florida when I was a kid (at least when there was no lightning!) We don't get much rain out here, so we are grateful for the Thanksgiving rain and the chilly weather we got this weekend, along with all our other blessings that our Heavenly Father has blessed us with!
Happy Thanksgiving Ya'll! Hope yours was blessed.
