Thanksgiving Weekend

We had already had our traditional Thanksgiving meal on the 15th so we had homemade waffles for breakfast on Thursday.  Then the kids and I went to my parents' house, and Lane had to be at work at noon.  Thursday evening we went to Aunt Judy's and had a great time there!

Then & Now--Dad & his siblings 

(minus Greg, the youngest, in the first picture):

It was nice to see cousins that I don't get to see often:

Carrie, Stacie, Casey, Sharmin & Tracie

Stacie and Noel just got engaged--so happy for them!

Friday morning Dad & the boys cut wood.  Crosby watched from the truck at first because the chainsaw was too loud for him--I thought this picture was sweet.  

My sister and her kids came up on Friday.  The kids spent most of their time building a fort in the field.  It was so cute to see them work together.

How are they all this big!?!

Jaiden is into knitting now--she made this purple headband that Alexee is wearing!  :)

After baths that night they settled in for a movie (The Boxcar Children).

Saturday morning they couldn't wait to get back to work on their fort.  My Grandparents came by to visit.

We went back out after dark because they wanted to pretend they were camping.  Dad told them some scary stories about bears and mountain lions (hoping they'd decide to go back to the warm house-ha!), but I think they figured him out because they kept saying, "Grandad, you are making that up!"

It was a fun weekend!
