Thanksgiving 2011

I am a little late in getting this posted...oops!! Life seems to move at warp speed and finding moments of time to blog is becoming harder and harder lately. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with the Smith family this year for Thanksgiving. The boys were so excited to have their cousins come visit, and they haven't stopped talking about them since! We were able to have professional family pictures made while they were here as well, so I got one picture of the cousins all dressed up:)

The boy table for Thanksgiving feast, as Tyson calls it. The older boys were absolutely wonderful with my boys, and Jace can't stop asking where his buddies Parker and Danny went! I am so thankful they all get along so well, even with the age difference:) Tyson had so much fun playing football with the big boys, and having more freedom to run around the yard since he had some good playmates.

The girls:) We had fun playing games, watching movies, shopping, and of course eating. The favorite game this year was spades, and of course it was girls vs. boys. We had a great time playing cards and catching up with Sherrie and Shawn:) I didn't get much sleep, but it was totally worth it! Sherrie and I had fun venturing out for a little Black Friday madness and were able to survive and not buy anything! Those lines just aren't worth it, but we enjoy the adventure together:)


Jace clomping around in his uncle Shawn's boots:) Jace just loves his Uncle Shawn and follows him around everywhere. I think Shawn adores him right back:) We had lots of fun eating and just spending time together for a few days. It is always a nice change of pace to not have to travel anywhere, and for that we were extra thankful. We enjoyed the time together with family, and it was a bit bittersweet as we knew it would be Ellen's last holiday at home for a while. We have had such a great year as a family and have so much to be thankful for every single day.
