Thanksgiving

What a fun Thanksgiving weekend we have had!  On Wednesday we drove up to Grandma Tess and Grandpa Pete's house.  There was no snow yet, but it was definitely cold!  The kids were so excited to see Grandma and Grandpa and had fun exploring their house.  Kylie got to help Grandma Tess make pizza for dinner, and she really loved being in the kitchen with her.  Hayden wanted to help too, but sadly he is just a little to young!

Thanksgiving day I was sick all day unfortunately but that didn't stop the festivities!  The kids wanted to help out in the kitchen again all day, as well as play outside in the freezing cold!  It was funny watching Kylie try to play football with some neighbors.  The dinner was delicious (well, for me it smelled delicious!) and so was the pie!  The kids just kinda snacked all throughout the day.  Hayden built a huge fort with Grandpa Pete that he just loved!

Friday morning we attempted to have a photo shoot with the kids and get some 2 year shots of Hayden.  Grandpa Pete and Grandma Tess were so awesome and patient - the kids were not.  They didn't cooperate very well and didn't listen to anything we said.  But Grandpa Pete managed to get some good shots!

After that we went to Grandma Shari and Grandpa Gary's house for the rest of the weekend.  Once again the kids ran around and explored the house and wanted to play outside in the freezing cold!

Grandma Shari and Grandpa Gary also gave Hayden his birthday presents today.  Hayden knew exactly what to do and tore those presents right open!  Then we had fun playing with all his cars.

On Saturday we all went out to a movie as a family.  We went to see The Good Dinosaur and the kids really liked it!  They managed to mostly sit through the entire movie eating their popcorn.  It was lots of fun!  The rest of the day was spent playing with aunts and uncles and being the crazy kids they are.

Both Kylie and Hayden loved walking on the treadmill.  They would stay on it forever!

It also snowed the night before so Kylie was bound and determined to eat some snow.

On Sunday we went to church and then it was time to head back home!  We said our goodbyes to Grandma Shari and Grandpa Gary and then headed out!

We made a quick pit stop at Grandma Tess and Grandpa Pete's, where they had some presents for Hayden.  Grandma Tess made Hayden a cute little outfit, and Grandpa Pete got Hayden a HUGE triceratops.  Hayden and Kylie both loved it.  Hayden also really liked the dinosaur book and roared a lot!

Then we drove home through snow bursts.  We are so happy to be home!  We had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with all our family and can't wait to see everyone in a few weeks for Christmas!
