gobble till ya wobble

Like many of you, Thanksgiving was a 4 day event over here.  We had family in town and much planned.  Here are some of my favorite shots from our Turkey Day.

  From what I heard, the kids' table was the place to be.

  Though this table is pretty cute too.

 

Made it to Cabella's FOUR times and the Bass Pro Shop once.  Have I mentioned my brother-in-law is rather sporty?

  Kids made a fun train.

 

These cousins had so much fun together--four boys from four different families.

 

I started to feel a little better (from my cold) about half-way thru Friday.

 

The missionaries gave a little spiritual thought that was very sweet.

 

She doesn't get too emotional about things, but she's a cutie.

  And she has a new little sister hiding under the blanket.

 

Pie:  yum.

 

Rousing games of Spoons and BS were crazy and loud and sooo fun!

 

We love spending time with our family!

gratitude day 24, books

I've totally lost track of what day we are on, but looking back on my November pictures folder (which is HUGE by the way, it has 37 folders in it and we're still not through the month yet!) I see we had the following thankful day I haven't documented yet:

We do love books around here! I'm happy to say that my kids love reading too--Ethan has gotten so very good at reading these past few months. It's amazing to see the changes as they happen in a first grader!

gratitude day 23, kitchen, and thanksgiving night with family

I didn't get a picture of it, but we were lucky enough to choose "We are Thankful for our Kitchen!  Make something yummy together!"  Well on Thanksgiving, that was easy to do. . . I was in the kitchen all day!  lol

We started with some yummies.

     

Then it was off to work.

Some of this.

  

Some of that.

      

And then a lot of  eating and enjoying.

   I felt pretty uuuugh all day, but I pushed through. (We packaged some of this up and took it to Dan for dinner--but he was fortunate enough to have eaten a huge Thanksgiving meal with the fire station he works with, so he ate well)

Then later, we went over to the inlaws where we had some cousins visiting and had some fun with them.

We played some fun games.

 

  As bad as I look, I promise you I feel even worse. 

Bleh.

Hopefully the worst of it is over and I can enjoy the rest of the weekend.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Course I couldn't smell anything or taste anything, so I'm not sure if it was any good or not.  *eye roll*  Leave it to me to get sick on Thanksgiving weekend.
