Thanksgiving Tidbits

Just a few quick things to remember about our Thanksgiving this year:  (Since Christmas is rapidly approaching!!!)

1.  We took a short trip down to Missouri- we only stayed for 3 days since we wanted to be back for the girls' basketball games.  Of course, the kids loved every moment of our time there!

2.  One of the biggest hits was Grandpa's go-cart!  It was fun for kids of all ages...including pregnant ladies.



3.  Playing with cousins is always so much fun!


4.  The weather was spectacular.  It was so nice on Thanksgiving that we actually got to eat outside!




5.  We resumed our traditional "Black Friday" shopping with Megan, but actually went on Thanksgiving night.  We scored some awesome deals and had a lot of fun!!!

6.  For Ashton, spending time with Oreo is always a special treat.

7.  We loved seeing everyone and felt very thankful for all of our blessings.  This year, our "Thankful Tree" helped us keep track of some of our specific blessings that we sometimes take for granted.

8.  A couple of days after Thanksgiving, we got to celebrate Tod's 36th birthday.  It was nice to be in town and actually have some time to enjoy the day...some years with all the travelling, his birthday gets overlooked a little bit.  We made him a special "soda" cake and invited some friends over for birthday treats.  What a great guy he is!  He has a lot on his plate with church and work and family but he finds a way to balance everything and always keeps us laughing!
