Our thanksgiving vacation was a little shorter this year due to Troy's travels and school, but we still packed in lots of fun. We drove up to Susie's on Thanksgiving day. Grandma Judy was there along with Trish and her family, Justin and his family and Uncle Davie. It was a houseful and that meant a few kids for Timothy and Teresa to play with. The loved that. Judy had to get a few pics with her little girls. The blond, blue-eyed beauties looked great in there matching outfits and it was much easier to get a few smiles this year. Timothy got a special pic with his Grandma too.
We enjoyed a wonderful meal, some movie time, playtime and a restful night. We are thankful we can see Troy's family and mine in one weekend!
I did not snap any pictures from my family Thanksgiving on Friday, but it too was a fun day with my parents and brothers and their families. Troy and I are blessed with such special families!
We enjoyed one extra day at my parents house. Timothy worked on his school gingerbread boy--Lloyd from Ninjago. The kids watched shows, played Mario, played dress up and several other things through the morning.
Relaxing during a viewing of Tom and Jerry, a current favorite.
The kids helped Grandpa Ken and Grandma Rebecca move the real tree inside. They had to use their strong muscles!
Later in the afternoon Timothy and Teresa helped decorate. I helped too so a few ornaments ended up on the top branches! Teresa tends to hang several ornaments on a single branch. This could have been a cute picture, but we were in the no brushing my hair mood that day!
We also spent a little time outside in the tiny bit of snow that had not melted in the 40 degree weather. Timothy liked trying snowboarding. Teresa got her daddy to pull her around and around the yard. Timothy ran after the sled trying to catch his "train!"
All in all it was a wonderful few days of fun and family. We are ever grateful for our families and the love they give!
