We had a great time visiting my family for Thanksgiving this year. I felt so blessed that all of my brothers and sisters and their families were able to be there. It was a lot of fun to see all of them together again. Unfortunately, it was so much fun that I forgot to pull out my camera and capture some memorable moments! Beyond the feast, the kids had a ball playing thanksgiving day pictionary, coloring indian and pilgrim pictures, making indian headbands, running an obstacle course, and hunting "the wild turkey" out in Grandma's yard. And to make the day a bit more special, it was also Grandma Linda's birthday! Happy birthday! We love you!
Since we were all together, mom decided it would be fun to have a Christmas party as well. Bubba hosted it at her house. Again, we had tons of fun! To start off, the kids made really cute reindeer ornaments...thank you Kimi for the fun craft!
Then the kids made "ornaments" out of metallic pipe cleaners and we all joined in decorating Grandpa like a Christmas tree!!! He was such a good sport...he had ornaments poked in his ear and eye instead of on the "boughs"! Ouch!
Aunt Hedda read us a holiday themed story, which wonder of wonders, the kids actually sat and listened to!!! Way to go!
We wrapped the night up with a pass the parcel game where Uncle Feff finally got George back after a 2 year vacation! Unfortunatly, that took me by surprise as well, and I failed to capture the teary eyed moment! Welcome home George!!!
We had a great weekend. Thanks to everyone who came, who prepared food and activities, and made the holiday season special. We love you all!

Great pictures of the festivities!! Unfortunately our camera was untouched during the fun too!! Glad we have so many fun memories though! The furry blue George is happy to be home. Jeff really keeps his eye on George's daily location. Gretta likes to play with him. She calls him "special monster" because Jeff told her that is what he is. So funny!!
PS I love your blog changes :)
